So, if I want to get the new channels (MTV, Spike, etc.) when they come out on April 1, I assume I will need to change from Absolute to Turbo HD.
So I did the math. My bill currently looks like this:
Absolute HD With Locals: $34.99
Encore Movie Pack: $4.99
Dish CD: $4.99
DVR Fee: $5.99
2nd HD Receiver Fee: $7.00
TOTAL: $57.96
After Turbo Gold with Platinum (to get the same channels as Absolute plus the new channels), it would be this right?
Turbo HD Gold: $49.99
Platinum HD: $10.00
Encore: $4.99
Dish CD: $4.99
DVR Fee: $5.99
Local Channels: $5.00
2nd HD Receiver Fee: $7.00
TOTAL: $87.96 or $77.96 without DishCD or Encore.
So, $30 more than my current HD only package to get 6 new channels? Wow.
Even more wow since I could get Classic 250 with HD for $95.98:
Classic 250: $57.99
Gold HD: $10.00
Platinum HD: $10.00
DVR: $5.99
Locals: $5.00
2nd HD Receiver: $7.00
TOTAL: $95.98
So, Classic 250 + HD is only $18 more than HD only now?
Is this right? Seems like HD only isn't that great of a deal anymore?
