    Dish vs. U-Verse (AT&T Fiber)

    I have had DISH for many years in the past, and currently have U-Verse due to the package I could get with internet. I have actually been quite impressed with U-Verse. For $105 a month, we get four rooms of U-Verse, 50/10 internet, for two years. That TV package is the U-300 package, which...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    It may be the fact that I already was getting those credits, so they can't apply the new offer until you get to that point. Seems odd. Did you try to see what would happen if you tried attempting to switch to the Flex Pack (go through the steps online)? Before you accept the final change, you...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    For anyone worried about losing credits on their account, I have a $5 three month credit due to the Tribune local channel issue on my account, and when I switched to that package... I still have that credit. I lost some of my credits (I think I had $27 a month) due to dropping the package, but...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    We are still watching channels through the OTA adapter on our DISH receiver (like the Olympics right now), but for the pure DVR purposes of my wife's two favorite shows, we are using the TiVo to schedule those recordings this fall. Yes, we could stream them via our laptops or our one tablet, but...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    So I hadn't been able to get locals from via my OTA adapter on my Hopper 2 to show program info without subscribing to locals, even though some have been lucky. I tried adding locals back for a few days and getting rid of them again to see if the tag "stuck" but they all went away again. So I...

    Channels Exclusively on Flex and other packs but NOT available on AT Packages

    When I flipped over to the Flex Pack + Kids Pack from AT200, I lost all my local EPG guide info from my OTA adapter, so I am unsure why some are still getting it while others (like me) have lost it. I tried talking to customer support, and all it got me was "we forwarded it to engineering". I...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    DIRT helped me sort it out. Chat, of course, gave me the wrong answer. They told me it would cost me more ($68) to have the Flex Pack + Kids Pack (which is every channel my wife and I watch in AT200). Only reason we were at AT200 is for Disney Jr, which is in the Kids Pack. With all my credits...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    Actually I would if you are. I signed up for that same 24 month price lock with free hopper 2 dvr about a year ago. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    Troch77... I saw a $12 discount on your screenshots too, even with the flex pack. By the way.. To get those screenshots, did you have to go all the way through, or is that the screen after you hit 'continue'? I want to see what the price is after my credits Sent from my iPhone using...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    Yeah it is. I was told by chat customer support that I would lose that... But some above screenshots say otherwise. I just want to verify before making any changes though, because $20 a month is significant in my budget (only reason I subscribe to AT200 is for Disney Jr.) Sent from my iPhone...

    DISH Introduces Flex Pack

    I saw in one of the posts that there is still a $12 off a month for one of the users, in addition to $5 off for the autopay. Where did that come from? I am in a 24 month price lock right now with AT120+ or above, free Hopper, for 24 months. However, I cannot figure on how to see if I would get...

    New Add-On Packages

    I'd say this is a cross between DISH America and Smart Pack, and price-wise it is very much that. I figured out for my parents, if they wanted locals and ESPN yet, the Flex Pack would cost $5 more a month than DISH America and they would get an extra 15-20 "useful" channels, not the fluff...

    New Add-On Packages

    Different strokes for different folks, in regards to this package! I was mentioning yesterday that my parents, who had DISH America, may have been interested in this package. Low and behold, they were. They are getting about 15-20 more USEFUL channels than DISH America by subscribing to Flex...

    New Add-On Packages

    I just did an online chat with DISH to check on this pack.. it is indeed seemingly available to normal customers. The customer support person was able to give me all the details, and some prices (particularly the National Action Pack with ESPN being $10, and the Kids pack being $10 too). The...

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    I ended up getting a $5/month for three month discount on service, which is good enough since I already have the dongle/outdoor antenna hooked up to our receiver and don't want another antenna sitting around our house. Didn't take too much effort either, so will take whatever I get!

    YES! DISH definitely dosen't want to lose customers

    I am confused by some of the comments above. Are people being sarcastic about the History and Food Network? Because those are indeed included. My first go around with DISH, I ended up on the Welcome Pack after a while... and found outside the fact that the national stuff was in SD (though that...

    Maybe Leaving Dish for DTV: Good or Bad Idea?

    When I had DISH first time around, in my second year... I was attempting to get discounts from DISH every so often, which they would discount 5-10 bucks a month for 3 months. I also eventually dropped down to the Welcome Pack for the last few months without issue. Standard def bothered me, but...

    Sling TV for Free, no subscription cost

    I like the selection. I am a 26 year old male who enjoys Food Network (Triple D!) and my wife and I like to watch HGTV and Travel Channel together for their Property Brothers, Hotel Impossible, etc. It would be nice to have those added others like TBS and TNT, and occasionally ESPN. I cut the...

    Dish Rumored to launch internet only TV package by the end of the summer

    I am on the center/slightly older end of the Millennial generation. I HATE watching TV on my smart phone which eats through battery power, and is on a tiny screen... same with my tablet or laptop. I also refuse to pay more for "unlimited" data to access things via that. Now, I am a cord...

    Cheapest way to get HD on TV2

    I have a 50 inch in the living room, and a 32 inch in the bedroom. I use the 722k, but coax seems to provide good enough signal to where, on my 32 inch LCD, I can change the setting to stretch it up and down. The picture isn't quite 100% HD, but it is close enough to where it doesn't bother me...

    welcome package new pricing question

    TBS, Food Network, and HGTV are our most watched channels... even when we had AT120. Sometimes I like to get into my inner child, and watch Boomerang for the classics. Not to mention Hallmark now has Home Improvement on, which is one of my favorite shows growing up. Add in the fact that we get a...

    I received the apology letter too saying there won't be any increase to the Welcome Pack.... I believe we are good there.

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    I agree... wish it was in HD... though everytime I say to myself "this picture isn't perfect like it used to be", I think about the money I am saving... it's the way to make myself feel better! Watched football and golf on our local networks over the weekend, so got my sports fix that way as...

    DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

    This is why I dropped down to the "Welcome Pack"... I refuse to pay for the sports programming I don't watch. What I do watch, I can find on my local channels. Lack of HD sucks... but the $30 a month savings makes it worth it.
