mr_snerdly said:One more question I have is on the total count of HD channels. Peraps there is a link I have missed on this. I count 15 Voom channels, and 7 other Hd channels, which equals 21. Are the other 4 channels HBO HD, Show HD, PPV HD, and NBA HD?

THOSE BLASTED JERKS! I CAN'T STAND DISH! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WILL DO THIS TO US, AFTER ALL THE CRAP THEY HAVE ALREADY PUT US THROUGH! THEY DOUBLED THE COST ALMOST!juan said:another significant change

$29.99
$34.99
If this is an oversight by Dish, it's a big one. Sounds to me like an mpeg4 receiver will only be needed to pick up the HD locals. If you think about it, why would Dish split the Voom channels and entire HD package across mpeg2 and mpeg4 ( I know... mpeg2 with 4 headers ) Doesn't make sense. Wouldn't E* want to get the extra cash from the subs that's reflected in the new HD package price? This may be a way to try and spread out the existing sub hardware upgrades. We'll be inclined to upgrade when the HD locals are available in our area.HokieEngineer said:3. They didn't mention mpeg4 for the new voom, uhd, and espn2hd because they aren't in mpeg4 (currently). However you'll still need a new receiver to view them. This could change on Feb 1, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
relax ..did you not read the GRANDFATHERING part for existing HD pac customers?jsanders said:THOSE BLASTED JERKS! I CAN'T STAND DISH! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WILL DO THIS TO US, AFTER ALL THE CRAP THEY HAVE ALREADY PUT US THROUGH! THEY DOUBLED THE COST ALMOST!
Bronze package: 49.99 - stand alone HD Package $29.99 = $20, yet the AT60 is $35.99 which is included in the Bronze package! In other words, THEY RIP OFF STAND ALONE CUSTOMERS BY $16/MO! THEY ALSO RAISE OUR DVR FEES BY 20%
COME ON DISH! YOU SUCK BIG TIME! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!
