No, sounds like pulling the package is PREVENTING drops for the rest of us.
So a group like NBCU, Time Warner/Turner, Discovery or Comcast, which had deals (or deals for some channels) BEFORE Absolute came out want their channels out of the package.

I would accept a deal as long as they didn't make me sign another 2 yr contract...but I know that isn't going to happen. So I think it's time for me to hit the road. The few channels I watch is not worth it to pay this much.
Think I'll snag the the cable co's bundle for a bit... with no contract...maybe try out a cablecard tuner for the HTPC and get it going again.

I dont think they will require a 2 year contract, as your not getting any new equipment. Giving you Discounted program is cheaper then them trying to find a new customer to replace you.
If you can believe what the lady who called me said, she said that there wasn't a contract.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that platinum HD add on that they're throwing in for 6 month is going to cost another $10 a month when that plays out.

might be just a money grab, E is excellent at that..
I mean you can try to defend it if you want, but all defense is speculation.
we know E has the bean counters running the show..... sub numbers reflect their hard work, although profits are up...

That goes both ways, Bob.
Offers?
Scott would you please confirm what will be offered to us, also date of the cut off. I've 6 more months on my contract so can't leave until then at the earliest.

Hey the beancunters have obviously taken over.
maybe someone should start a poll of number of subs lost this quarter. Closest guess wins something nice.
I might fund the prize it would be worth it
Ill help fund it. Maybe we could do a 50 dollar dish store prize twards a directv system! Funded by the Bob's!
And to think I nearly signed up for Absolute when they had it but my wife was pissed she wouldn't get just 2 channels only available in SD so I never made the switch..
No matter what anyone says, Dish should still look at offering some type of HD only package to those of us who only want HD. I've had the Absolute package since it began. Why? Because I do not want the other crap!
I started with Dish several years ago because they had the VOOM networks and we know what happened there!
Now they are looking at dropping this HD package-:rant:
Just do not know if their crap is worth it anymore. I will continue to look at this thread and when they call me, hopefully I be prepared to either accept what they will offer or cancel them.

I think the key here is that you guys don't get signed up for a contract. I think they're offering you a good deal for another year but all depends if there's a contract or not.
legacy
I'm a VOOM legacy too. Not happy about this. But need to see the offer that will be available. It's also a WTF is SD almost anymore. Watch less than 3% in SD now. 1 thing is will have music channels again.
