Yep, guess so on the movies for Halloween. Missed bunches of episodes when Dish pulled AMC off the air.
I think we lose in the end. We now have to pay for carriage of IFC (which isn't an Indie channel anymore and I don't watch) and WE (which I never watch) and Sundance (a channel that is nothing like it used to be and I don't watch). I don't gain much from this at all, so we all lose in this deal.

You used an awful lot of 'I' in a statement that ends with 'we.' You are not everyone, some people like the programming on those channels....
Hm. I'm on Dish America now, and I've been considering bumping up to AT120, since it's only $10 more. But do I have to pay an extra $10 to get AT120 in HD? I notice when I log in to my account on the site and go to my programming, if I tick the AT120 box, an additional "HD Add On" box becomes selectable below. So I assume if I just change to AT120 without also adding the "HD Add On", I lose HD channels, huh? That's pretty lame. I can swing an extra $10 for a few more channels, but having to put an extra $10 on top of that to keep HD is pretty irritating.
I would prefer a single channel that is true to the original Sundance and IFC missions, rather than two channels that have strayed from them.
We could really use a true independent/art film channel with little or no commercial interruption.

Autopay and paperless billing is your other option to get the HD free for life, or pay a one-time $99 fee for HD for life.
Yes, if you do not already have HD FOR LIFE you need to get that, or pay the $10 per month. HD FOR LIFE is free, ends the $10 per month charge, if as Dare2be mentioned you agree to autopay and paperless billing. OR - as he said you can pay a one time $99 fee and not have to use autopay or paperless.

When Sundance went off Dish, it was commercial free and unedited. Of course it had just left the Showtime package. Is it now watered down and commercialed?
After Sundance left Showtime, it disappeared for a while. It then came back in the watered down version and was removed a couple of months before IFC, WE and AMC. It was showing a lot of similar programs and movies to IFC, complete with commercials and overlaying graphics.
So, if I log into my account, go to billing, turn autopay on and paper billing off, does that count, then? Or is there something else I would have to do? If/ when I actually switch my package to AT120 via changing it on "My programming" through site, will that "HD for life" automatically take effect?

is there a reason on my guide for AMC it only goes about an hour ahead. Do i need to update or something. I have a hopper
D'oh. I hate calling places. I wish things could be as simple as just clicking a button. v_v
It's worth noting that I've been a Dish customer for roughly 10+ years, and last year, I signed up for a new agreement to get HD receivers and I took the Dish America package. I *thought* my deal was a two year thing, but I can't remember. Would I have any problems upgrading my package before that "agreement" ends? I mean, it's not like I'd be canceling my service completely, and in fact, my bill would be going up a little bit.
You can get a higher package now with no problem, generally it's you that loses a little because a higher package at the time of signing might have yielded a little more discounts.
Egads, I just got a robo call from Dish telling me that AMC is back on... They really want people to know AMC is back on Dish.
