I agree. I looked at dropping down from AT250 to AT200 doesn't work for me either. Too many movie channels like the Encores, FXM, also Logo, NatGeo Wild, etc. would be lost. The extra $10 a month is worth it for me. I called and got the price freeze for 2 years and HBO for $10 a month for nearly 2 years and the Movie Pack for $5 rather than $10 for the next 6 months. I feel Dish is really trying to satisfy their customers and keep them. I have been with Dish since 1999, and no others have what Dish has and the price is less. What I do not get from Dish, like BBC World, France24, DWTV, etc, I get streaming off the Roku.
