    AMC Channel Gone - Welcome Pack

    AMC was pulled without notice. They argued that AMC wasn't removed from Free Preview for months due to an error??? Give me a break. DISH doesn't give away programming by mistake. When I questioned the CSR months ago- they argued that AMC was never part of the Welcome Pack. They were either...

    Welcome Pack and AMC -- Did it just disappear (for real this time)?

    I had AMC yesterday, 6/11, and today I don't. Last year DISH dropped AMC and replaced it with HD Net. Since Feb 2013, they have raised my programming costs $7.00 p/m and removed BOTH AMC and HD Net. Wonderful way to treat a 17 year customer. For the first time ever, I'm seriously considering...

    Welcome Pack lost AMC & We

    This may have been mentioned elsewhere...... Prior to the litigation issue, AMC & We were included in the Welcome Pack. Now that the channels have returned to DISH, after the current "preview", they will be available in the Top 120 or higher package only. So we WP subscribers are losing both...

    Welcome Package + Blockbuster@Home Poll

    The BB package was available to Welcome Pack customers for only a few months - DISH then pulled the availability without notice. I called a week later to add it but they would not. Being a 15 year customer, I tried to explain that I could spend $10 with DISH or give it to Netflix, Hulu or...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Just got off the phone with the Loyality Dept. The CSR argued with me that the Welcome Pack never had AMC. She said only way for me to get a Roku was to upgrade to a higher package. Been with Dish over 15 years. Less than pleased.

    Dish now promoting Welcome Pack??

    15 year customer. Changed to the Welcome Pack about 3 months ago for economic reasons. When I signed up, I was told that the Blockbuster Movie could be added. Has that changed? If so, looks like I waited to long.

    ME TV - Any Chance???

    ME TV would be a strong addition to DISH programming. I live in Central NY State and can barely receive the Rochester signal. The channel has a wealth of classic programs. Some cable systems carry it - would DISH ever consider it? What do you think?

    Welcome Pack Addon's?

    Have the Welcome Pack with a 622 receiver. Tried the online chat twice asking if I can add the BB Movie Pass. First I was told NO then told Yes. I have a 61.5, 110 & 119 setup. Does anyone know the correct answer?

    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    Received the "Cinemax" letter today stating that the promo expires August 1st. My December 2010 statement was billed for a penny for one year programming. Shouldn't the expiration be Nov or Dec?

    Can one setup a new account with owned equipment self installed?

    I spoke with the CSR for about 15 minutes last week. She was very pleasant and did state specifically that a new account could be opened with a 2 year contract with the Welcome Pack only. Nothing was mentioned about opening with a higher package and then immediately downgrading. It appears that...

    DISH RETENTION

    I've been with DISH for about 15 years with clean payment record. Made decision to cut the cord and rely on locals, Netflix and my PC. Called DISH last week to cancel - was offered $10 per month discount for 1 year. Told them I'd think about it. Is this a typical discount offering? Or should I...

    Welcome Pack

    With all the alternative choices out there, like Netflix, Hulu etc., I'm considering reducing my programming package as low as possible. I know that the Welcome Pack was officially eliminated a while back. Has any current customer been able to change to this plan recently? I believe it's $9.99...
