The bonus pack is probably cheaper now simply because they have 3 decent priced Latino base packs that includes lots of English channels as well.[I wish locals were included or at least no so expensive; however, I guess that is why there are disputes and rising prices. If it was so easy to get the locals with an antenna 24/7, I guess I could live and get one of the OTA add-ons for our 222. The bonus would be the subchannels that are not on satellite at all. The Hopper seems nice as well, but we are trying not to spend so much on satellite. It is funny since when we started in 2009 with Dish that AT250 and HD&Platinum did not seem so bad and was even a lot cheaper than cable and DirecTV; that was also back when you still got a $5/month credit for having the phone line connected. lol However, the economy (although I am not trying to get political or anything...just in general) does not seem the best where some people I know sadly are being laid off and losing their jobs.]
The most important part I suppose to both quotes:
Couldn't the Latino Bonus pack be added for $9.99/month to get the Sirius XM channels to the Flex Pack? I wish it could be added to the Welcome Pack, but apparently, you have to have at least the Smart Pack with the packages available as of today.
