I've had the $9.99 welcome pack for a few months. Love it. Glad I found out about it here and connected after they did away with pre-paid. Btw I LOVED PRE-paid. Wish they'd bring that back.

Never professed to know what was best for anyone. Everyone has their own reception quality and interests, such as Military or Sports. I was just showing others what I did without having to sign on to Dish, as well as what Clark Howard said. Best of luck to all. I'm thinking that a la carte will...

I think it was about $500 for the anntenna, mini-tower, amplifier and rotor. I counted my stations last night and I get 47. Those include a lot of crap channels no one wants to watch - kinda like DISH!:)

Navy: If the Food Channel, Documentary Channel and Military Channel are so important to you, then by all means, spend $49.99 per month to satisfy your HD appetite. Nice to see some are doing well in this recession.

I would say between 30-40 stations. Hard to say. Like I get 2 and 2-2 (all weather). I get about four different Channel 24's. I get a lot of Spanish stations, religious stations, educational stations. Only thing lacking is ESPN and regional sports. I'm with STEELERRULE, when pre-paid comes...

Ditching cable/satellite to get free TV on clarkhoward.com I'm with Clark. I installed a 30 foot minitower with a 12 1/2 foot antenna with an amplifier and Channel Master rotar. I get tons of channels and FREE HD on the local stations that broadcast in HD. I haven't tried plugging my laptop...

I hate that DISH eliminated pre-paid. I LOVED it. I refuse to go with Flex. If enough of us refuse either Dish or someone else will bring pre-paid back as an option.

What is included in the "welcome pack"? It's not listed on the DISH website that I can see.

Difference The only difference betwenn Flex and Dish Now is that you have more options in hardware to purchase and you can go up to 4 TV's. No, you cannot purchase Flex for one day, one weekend or one week as you could with Pre-paid and Green Dot Money Pack.

Need more info I am so happy there is a place I can get information as DISH provides very little. I just found out that I can no longer get pre-paid for a few days at a time, which I LOVED!! I still have questions about the flex: 1. Will the pre-paid receivers work for flex? 2. Can I get...

HELP, STEELERSRULE!!!! I have been LOVING the freedom of pre-paid for months now. Yesterday I tried to turn it on for the weekend and was told DISH is discontinuing the Pre-Paid service. What are we going to do now? I swore I would never go back to billing until they offered ala carte service.

I did it!!! After learning so much from this forum, and especially Steelers Rule, I finally got up and running. I first bought the receiver/antenna at Radio Shack for $99.00. Then I figured out I already had the dish antenna from when I had service before, so I just needed the prepaid...

Steelers: Still waiting to receive my 301. I was looking in CVS at all the different cards available. They have Master Card and Visa "gift cards" in different denominations. Only $3.95. I'm wondering if those would work like the MoneyPak. I'm going to try it. Maybe a longer life than 90 days and...

How do you replenish MoneyPack? Thanks Steelers! You're a great source of information. I am going to try this and bought my Green Dot Money Pack. But how do I reload it? I know I can direct deposit but I am self employed so no regular, set paychecks from an employer. Hope I don't have to go to...

Sorry but I'm confused. No one at DISH can answer questions accurately about prepaid and Radio Shack dealers are no better. I went to CVS for the Green Dot Money Pack. I found Green Dot Visa and Master Card. They cost $9.95 to activate. They had a Green Dot Money Pack for $4.95 but the manager...
