I see to Dish Lation Welcome Pack attachments. Did you get the standard Welcome Pack screen shot?

17 new HD channels are coming on August 1st!

And new HD Packages as well!

Now from 29.99 we are inching upto $40, I know eventually dish has to raise the price as they keep adding more HD content, but what happened to the promise at the beginning of the year when they said they are freezing the prices?

Make that $50 for 47 channels, plus locals for $5.

Maybe if you keep the current package until the prices go up then you have to switch over to that package in february

I wonder what the new 17 new HD Channels are?I also wonder if these new HD Packages are replacing the current HD Packages?

Damn it thought I captured that screen and posted it...

The new channels are all the HBO's and Stars plus two lifetime HD channels and possible another one. Let me rewind and capture it.

Plus DVR fee, phone line fee, etc, etc.

[james_k_p]

Wowsers! I am a happy man come aug 1st! Thank YOU DISH! WOO HOO!

Scott, what does that cinemax one say? I can't read that yellow at that resolution. Thanks!

 

[Cokeswigga]

great... I get one extra skinemax HD channel

well I guess thats better than Monster channel

 

[nath12]

I guess I'll be adding HBO again!

 

[jayn_j]

Typical DISH marketing.

No real content. Change the package names to generate excitement and hide a price increase. Yawn.

I assume that the HBOs will only be available if you spend another $15 on HBO and won't be available on the HD only top package.

 

[jself1982]

hmmm, I was hoping for the Viacoms!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok rewound to get missed screen shots.

Now fast forwarding to where I left off. Sorry for the interuption.

 

[Peter Parker]

Here we go...

What is the Cinemax channel i cannot make it out

 

[kennya]

Cool on the 17, even though I dont get any of the movie channels. But I guess that means no agreement with FOX yet....

 

[whitewolf8214]

Scott, how does this new pricing go in terms of the new hd only packages if we were to get the movie channels ?thanks
