Man Scott they are either lying to us or just really horrible at communication. I plan tomorrow to drop down to the Bronze TurboHD (From Classic 200 + SilverHD) and asked a tech chat CSR if I was going to lose Fox News HD. He said YES.

Then I asked if they were going to add Fox News HD to the Bronze TurboHD. He told me that they are "always evaluating" but that I could make a request for them to add it. I did of course.

So this is just plain bizarre. And tons of people have said the same thing in the chat rooms, that Dish has told them flat out Fox News HD/Bus HD are NOT in the TurboHD packages.

So my question is: why are they telling YOU differently? This is really frustrating!

Question , Why would anyone think that Fox News HD should be in HD bronze, When Fox News is in the Top 200 pack? I just don't get some of you guys. Turbo Bronze is only at most going to have what ever the top 100 pack has in HD. this has been the rule since day one. Turbo Silver is going to have the same HD channels as Top 200 Pack. Thats where Fox News is.

No Fox News is in the top 100 package as of last Wednesday.

**Hemi 6.1** · 02-11-2009 04:13 PM

Well thats another story then. But according to E* channel line up it does Not show Fox News in the Top 100 pack.. Family,Top 200,Top 250. It Must be fairly up to date ,Because it shows Fox Business News in the Top 250 Pack

Here you go... The press release from Fox News..

http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-net...h-network.html

Starting today, FBN will be available on channel 206 through DISH Network’s Classic Gold 250, formerly known as America’s Top 250 package. FNC will move to channel 205 on Classic Bronze 100, formerly known as America’s Top 100 package, increasing its distribution to more than 11 million DISH Network subscribers. Both networks will be available to DISH subscribers in HD.

During the first couple of days Fox News HD was out, it was appearing in the list under Bronze TurboHD. This is why so many people were happy. Also, Fox Business HD was in the list under Gold TurboHD.

Then, suddenly, as all the issues were going on between some people getting it and others not, they took it down off of those lists.

Also, if you read the forums, several people had chats with Dish CSR's saying it would be in TurboHD Bronze. And that is the same info that Scott is using when they told him Fox News SD would now be in the Classic 100 as well.

OK but nowhere does it say its being added to Turbo Bronze.
Classic Top 100 pack is all I saw.

FNC will move to channel 205 on Classic Bronze 100, formerly known as America’s Top 100 package, increasing its distribution to more than 11 million DISH Network subscribers. Both networks will be available to DISH subscribers in HD.

So from what you posted I see Fox News SD and HD will be in CLASSIC Top 100. NOTHING about Turbo HD packs.
Classic Top 100 with $10 HD pack is How you get FoxNews HD (Classic Bronze) Not TURBO Bronze

Classic 100 and Turbo Bronze are different packs. Always have been.
And since when do Listen to CSR's?
