A friend is on "pay as you go" and wants new "FYI" network...

[radio]

formerly "biography" is it?

I'm all "FTA"....and the dish site is NOT "channel selection friendly" (hasn't been for a long time.)

Biography (or now, FYI)...is not in his package, and Dish site doesn't seem to have it yet in the listings due to it's rebranding being so new. Maybe I missed it?

Does anyone know what MINIMUM package for "pay as you go" would definitely include this? It doesn't show in ala carte, either.

Matt G. helped us set up my buddy's account from the DIRT team and did a great job...it's probably been a couple years.

Searched this site, nothing came up in "reasonable" amount of results, same with Dish's site.

Will pass along any info received, with thanks!

It takes Dish a while to update it's website, but Bio shows in AT250.

In addition to America's Top 250, Bio or FYI is in Dish America Gold (if you can still sign up for it...might leave DIRT answer this one as I cannot find an easy way to add it on the online account) ( http://www.mydish.com/downloads/cha...=guide-area-img-standard-and-hd-channel-guide ) and in Smart Pack ($32.99/month regular price) as SD only ( http://www.mydish.com/downloads/cha....pdf?WT.svl=guide-area-img-dish-channel-guide )

You are confusing BIO changing to a new name, with being in different packages. Package location has not changed. If your friend wants FYI, and the name has not been changed yet online, simply looking at the comparison of packages tells you where BIO is. I took a quick look and found it was in the TOP250, but also in the less expensive Smart Pack, as mentioned in SD only.
You are also confusing being on pay as you go. The packages are exactly the same whatever way you pay for DISH.

Dish is slow with this. They just sent the memo out to retailers today stating that BIO has been re-branded to FYI as of July 8th. The channel is available in the Top 250 and Everything Package.

On channel 119. First big series is "Married at First Sight" where contestants must agree to meet someone and marry him or her immediately.

Lame.

That's supposed to be entertaining?

Yep, just like Lizard Lick Towing and such on TruTV

Because it's SO real!

All this hew and cry about attacking "the institution of marriage" and someone has to top it with a show like this.

Unfortunately, a tattoo is cheaper and last longer than a marriage and this show is built on that principle.

99% of reality tv is garbage. Unfortunately I watch a little bit of it. Very little, but it does not change the fact that it is garbage. There is zero value in shows like Hardcore Pawn, and it just gets more and more popular. That is one of the ones I watch, but it's mostly just to see the fights. Always disappointed. I should direct myself away from it. Lol.

Pay as you go was only mentioned to compliment the DIRT team here on this site. Friend would not be a subscriber otherwise. He likes the freedom offered.
Thanks, all. I think this thread has run it's course....and at points been "off" course...but helpful overall. Thanks!

Your question was that. My answer still is pay as you go has the same packages as any other way of paying......
