A current customer is grandfathered to the HD channel choice made prior to 8/01. CAUTION: Before any change is made to that choice, whether it be basic or HD packages, make sure that those changes, which will remove the grandfathered cost, result in a better plan. Eg. prior to 8/01 top 200 DVR ADV/with HD essentials, 722 phone connected, $59.99. No price change after 8/01. HD Absolute prior to 8/01 received ALL HD channels that were available for $29.99, +$5.98 DVR fee, +$5 locals= $40.97. After 7/31, Turbo Platinum DVR Adv went to $59.99 for the same HD services. Obviously, the grandfathered accounts are better when it comes to HD only service packs.
