    Where is the channel list comparing all packages?

    Man this thing is difficult to find for some reason. Dish use to have it on there site but now seemed to have moved to another way of showing channels for each package, and not comparing them to other packages. Does anyone have this list or have the link to dish that has it? Thanks!
