If you like college sports and some high school sports it makes complete sense...... Not everything is about the overpaid pros....
Are any of them HD?

I bet many are blacked out even in SD.

Dish's RSN's were a Joke

When I had Dish and D* side by side, there was numorous time Dish didn't have the games and D* did!

Usually at least one game is in HD and that game is usually on multiple RSNs sometimes all of them. All games that are available on the RSNs are shown in SD on Dish. Any game that is on Direct RSNs are on Dish RSNs except, of course, the few channels that Dish doesn't carry. Your continuing hatred of anything Dish is getting boring and flat out obnoxious.

Yeah but if its on D* its in HD. With E* its a roll of the dice (and much like being at the casino the E* subs who want the game in HD lose)

For those not following the Retailer Chat thread, Scott is claiming that the free premium movie package will be Encore. I guess when they said "most" subscribers, they must not have a lot of subscribers to AT250. Another example of Dish doubletalk.

Well if you have top 250 I guess it would be smart to downgrade to top 200 and get the Encore channels for free. I don't have top 250 anymore, because I found that I really didn't watch the extra channels in that pack .

Same here. I really felt that the 250 was a real letdown for the extra bucks it cost. IMO the 200 is the best "Bang for the Buck".

Here is the answer on what premium channel people will get on February 1st.

The free offer will be Starz...free for one year; no call in to get it, it's automatic. If you already have Starz...you will get the Encore package (yes there is a separate package). If you already have Starz and Encore...you will get the HD Platinum package free for 12 months. If you already have all three (Starz, Encore & HD Platinum) OR if you have Starz, Encore and SD programming...you will get 6 free PPV coupons on the consumer web site. All of these offers will be automatically added to accounts and at the end of 12 months they will automatically drop off. No calling in to add or to cancel.

Whats the catch?

Auto Pay? 24 month commitment?
Sorry I find it hard to believe this will be an Automatic adding to customers accounts with no strings attached. Customer not needing to call in or redeem or anything?:rolleyes:

That would be great, But really?

Guess we'll see.
14 million people are going to get free Starz?:popcorn

What if you don't subscribe to Starz,Encore,or HD?
Still 6 free PPV.

Why bother with the Price increase then?

I would head for the hills and take cover ! NOW!!!:what

Oh for crying-out-loud... I have Starz, Encore and HD Platinum...I want one of them free for a year. I want 6 free ppv coupons like I want a high colonic. Guess I'll have to call or chat and see what they'll do for me. Never pays to be a high-end sub...

I'd think they'd let you drop Starz and get it free, if you have a good record with them.

I'm in a similar situation except I'm in my 1st month of 3 free Starz months. I do not want to waste this promotion by getting stuck with PPV coupons instead of Starz or Platinum free for a year. (I get Encore already as part of HD250.)
