But the idea is you get a standard package and then you add on the packs? Sorry -- been away from the boards for a week.
You can add these "packs" to most of the standard packages. The new thing is the addition of a new, low-cost package called "Flex". It costs $34.99-39.99 (that is apparently up in the air at the moment but on my bill, it's $34.99). The channel lineup it includes works great for us and many others. There are 5-6 add'l, new packages, ranging in price from $6-10/month that groups types of programming, e.g. locals, news, sports, variety, and so on that you can add on top. If you take the base "Flex" pack and add ALL of the others, it probably doesn't make much sense financially nor logically. You could pay as much as you'd pay for AT200 or so and not get as many channels.
Each person needs to look at each package and decide what channels they want or need, which package(s) they are in, and so on and do their own evaluation.

Has it been determined if Flex qualifies as maintaining a minimum level of programming?
Dubious. If an existing customer switched to mail pay , it would cost Dish at least $5 a month to mail and remail and have to wait for payments, which may never come. That's why they promote it for all customers. There are many customers who will not pay a bill until the second notice is received.
That $29.99 price will kill you.
He's dead Jim. Mike-C05 finally succumbed to the fees.That $29.99 price will kill you.
I swapped to Welcome plus the Blue Package with SlingTV for live access to the EPL. Drops programming down $420 a year. I keep the EHD access, and can record locals, including the NBC EPL matchup.
Though it just occurred to me you may not care about EPL.
Unfortunately thru the grapevine word is. The only way to watch BBC World News with the AT250 is with the dish anywhere app.
I suppose we'll have a public announcement from Dish on Thursday with all the details.

I might just do that as well, main reason I have NBCSP is the premier league

Not quite as good as getting Live Extra, but it gets you something while saving a good chunk of change. Won't see as much Stoke.
But I save money.
There virtually are no Western feeds of non premium channels on DISH. You can find a couple of Cartoon channels, at one time ION had it on the WA arc only. Did you have a particular channel in mind?
