Heh. I just spent about an hour annoying a CSR online asking questions about Disney.
I have AbsoluteHD, and when the HD version of Disney cut off (right in the middle of recording Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), so did the SD version.
She kept telling me that Disney had pulled the HD feeds. I said "yes, but Dish Network pulled the SD feed from people with HD-and-matching-SD-only packages, and that was completely unnecessary if this is all Disney's fault"
She responded "I understand your frustration. Disney Channel is still available in our regular programming packages."
I asked her to show me which plan would get me Disney in SD.
She did, the 39.99 plan. I showed her the literally 20 "Premium" HD channels I have now that would go away if i dropped AbsoluteHD to do as she suggested, while at the same time raising my monthly payments by $10.
I said "that's not a good deal, is it?"
and she responded "But you would have Disney Channel"
I asked her if AbsoluteHD customers would have the channel re-instated if/when Dish and Disney work out a deal (which she mentioned was being worked on furiously many times in my chat session), and she flatly refused to respond to that question. She just kept pasting "Dish Network is working hard to get Disney Channel, ABC Family, Disney XD and ESPNews in HD for our customers."
I strung her along for a while, constantly asking questions, and then said "well, thanks for nothing. this has been enlightening. Toodles!"
