    Locals opt-out?

    When I was forced to change from the Absolute package, I went to the Welcome package. I did not have to get the locals at that time-and I would not want them either. I get them, including the subcarrier channels (2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc) with the channel data FTA :). I told DISH at the time that...

    Its' great that they are on board and appear to be very helpful. They helped me with my transition from Absolute to the Welcome package. :)

    DISH programming web page confusion question

    I have a question regarding programming that is stated on their web pages. When I go to DISH's home page, then click on the "learn more" tab under the DISH AMERICA package for $24.99-the green tab, the next screen lists the channels available through this package. Amoung these channels listed...

    Lost absolute now I have to pay to send their equipment back.

    Just a point of order! Several people have stated; "Read the contract that you signed, it says that you will be charged to return equipment..." blah, blah blah! I decided to look up and find my contract that I received many years ago. When I signed up with DISH many years ago-they gave...

    Welcome Pack

    I posted in the Absolute thread my changes but thought this applies here; I now have the Welcome package without locals-$9.99; the Starz Package-free for 1 year, then I'll add it for $13.00; Encore package-$5.00; and the Cinamax package-free for one month, then it will go away. I pay...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Your right about this for the channels but with what I have now-granted the significant reduction in HD channels, I will still be paying about $30.00 less each month for the channels that we mostly watch. I figured since they decided to stick it to us Absolute people, why should I give DISH...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Well I have to say Kudos to you guys for clueing me in on the Starz promo :). Actually the DISH people that I spoke with were very nice about changing things for me. As I mentioned earlier on this thread, I went from the Absolute package, PI's and RFDTV to the Welcome...

    Losing HD Absolute. Any suggestions?

    Well I waited for as long as I thought would be ok. I was not willing to see what DISH was going to switch me to. :( I now have the Welcome pachage without locals-my locals FTA are great, I added Starz and Encore so the $9.99+$13.00+$5.00 come to $27.99. I know I get a lot less of HD chanels...

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Simply put; DISH can not put up anything to replace VOOM, because there is nothing available out there to equal what VOOM had to offer-even with the many repeats! So Sad:(
