    3 Months free Starz & HD Platinum

    Just off chat. I got both Starz and Platinum for 3 months free. She also threw in 3 free ppv coupons. That was easy. I am already paperless and autopay.

    Winter break, want to get HD for about a month. Help please!

    With Charter they have a 30 day money back guarantee and no contract. They will come to your house, set you all up, wires and everything. They don't have a ton of HD but some.

    Any luck going back to turbo after upgrading?

    Is there some kind of 12 month discount to move to classic silver+HD? When I upgraded, it was at regular price making it about $20 more than what I was paying before.

    Any luck going back to turbo after upgrading?

    Everyone hass their own channel preferences. We are lucky to be satisfied with turbo silver. I also get quite a few discounts from dish right now that makes this package very affordable for us. We only pay about 35 dollars.

    Any luck going back to turbo after upgrading?

    The above list is accurate. The only way to get FoxNews, FX, MSNBC, MTV, VH1, Nick and the platinum channels(there may be more) is to subscribe to the classic package plus HD.

    Any luck going back to turbo after upgrading?

    Nope. When I upgraded, the platinum channels were there. When I downgraded(back to turbo), they were gone.

    Any luck going back to turbo after upgrading?

    Just wondering if this is possible. I upgraded last week and really regret it. The SD channels look awful on my TV and there are just too many channels. How should I go about getting my turbo back? Can I?
