I have the 250 package but no Movie Pack so it must be part of AT250. Also probably Heartland along with the other Hallmark and HMM.

+1 I can relate to that.

I thought FL taxed direct to home satellite at just 11+ percent with no extra local tax? It used to be 11.44 percent with no local tax on DBS. Don't know if that's changed lately or not. I know they changed the communication tax rate for some things. I just don;t know bout DBS service. I...

My SiL's boxes took over 3 weeks to arrive. That was a cancellation and not an upgrade though.

When they undid the multitude of mixed arc installs some time back, they moved those of us in the Tampa market to western arc so I'd think that is likely the preferred arc..

I've had both fios and dish the past 4 years at my FL home. I haven't used the unit you mentioned. Picture quality is very good but the internet can be slow at times in serving up pages due to Verizon's use of it's own servers. You have to navigate a phone tree to get to support most of the...

Are you getting the dollars off per month from the regular CSRs or are you speaking with Loyalty to get the goodies?

I sure had to pay a fee for my first DVR, a 508. Been with Dish since 1998. I think it was $150. Same here. Also had to pay for the 508.

My Fios package doesn't have ESPN.

I'm thinking the same. That's a 10%+ increase overall for me and for what? I expected some increase in programming, but the increase in the pure profit DVR fee for VIPs is disappointing to put it mildly. At least with Fios I can use a cablecard and avoid their crappy DVRs and fees. I'll just do...

The internet providers are all going to place caps on service to squeeze out more bucks so it remains to be seen how that will affect UHD streaming. I've had unlimited forever on my 15MB wireless service but was just informed any changes to the account will result in having to choose one of...

I have a Fios subscription that doesn't include ESPN. I doubt Verizon is paying Disney/ESPN the $6+ for me.

But doesn't Sprint's chain get yanked by a billionaire from Japan. I don't see that working with Charlie.

I have Verizon Fios in FL and they have an option to be called back with a range of times which is what I use when no one answers straight away.

I think you've mentioned the differences above. The only other difference is that the programming applies to the entire household so more than one person can be viewing. Isn't SlingTV just one viewer? I don't see the Select TV package listed so I guess they've dropped that one which was a good...
