Yeah it sucks when they give a new customer a deal but a loyal, longtime customer, they don't...makes no sense really.

After the details are known if it is only for new subs I think it would be worth trying to get it. You might have to offer to get a new two year contract if that is what new subscribers have to do...
I realize for other offers no way, but as I posted before this is a very small discount (granted off a smaller package). We also don't know if the $5 off is contingent on getting at least one add on. (thus the $44 - $5 = $39.99 no mention of $29.99 at least yet)
LOL, you don't need a two year contract to sign up for this plan, unless you are getting new equipment. I am sure when the dust settles, you will all be getting a $5 autopay credit because it will cost them $10 a month if you demand they mail you a paper bill and you send a payment that is a few days late.
So you are saying new customers will not need a contract? If that's the case everyone should get the $5 off with no problem with Auto pay.
Don't new customers need new equipment and installation? Please read my previous post carefully.
The family cabin account is coming up for its renewal. We're currently on the SmartPack at $37/mo and since we're using the ViP 722k, we need to add on the DVR Fee. Depending on how this FlexPack + first Channel Pack prices out, I don't know if we'd be inclined to change since the SmartPack includes locals and we wouldn't be using Autopay since we're on the Pay-as-you-Go Pre-paid plan, so no $5 discount.
All will be revealed tomorrow. Wait, wait, there's more! (waiting...)

So now read mine. If we find out only new customers can save the $5 my suggestion was to offer to do the same as new customer - tell them you will sign a two year contract. You jumped to some conclusion that I thought you needed a contract to get that package, never said that. And what Dare2be said too...

I would never do a contract extension for a $5 a month credit.
In fact I would pay $10 more not to have one period.

Seeing Flex Pack as an option for the main programming/package when I log in now. However, not finding much information on the site. More is still posted here; I guess Dish still needs some time. Also, not seeing credit for more than one add-on when attempting proposed changes just to try it out and see. Was hoping what Scott posted was true for all if we would decide to switch...I do see Heartland Package and Outdoor still as add-ons for the Welcome Pack.
It shows the logo on the dish page for the news pack

Huh..in mydish under details it isn't listed. I'd say dish will have a few kinks to iron out today.
Yeah, it's a shame they have channels that are only offered to customers on the lower package vs those of us in the at packages
I notice there is no mention of the MTV digital suite in the FlexPack channel listing.
Will be interesting to see if they are included in any other packages.
Also, looks like France24 English was removed from the EA and WA. I thought it was part of the News Pack, I was getting it in it, gone from 9864 now.

It now makes sense that they market it with a pack added if they are going to include it as core a package along side the Top packs as they are doing. Those all include locals, in fact all the core packages include them so comparing a price for one core package that does not include locals would be misleading.
The nice thing is now it is not misleading you get the package with locals, and if someone does not want locals they can get another pack - or no pack and lower the price.

Curious, when I select Flex + Locals only, they list my RSNs in the table. That must be a mistake, right? (You have to switch to text view to see the names)
Oh, and when I add the Regional Action Pack and not the Locals, the RSNs are not checked.
