I think there is only Dish America, a single package. They dumped Silver and Gold a while back except for those grandfathered. Dish America is $50.

Please send me a private message with your account number and pin so we can go over that change for you.
And it seems like yesterday they were offering attractive packages as low as $24.99.
But here we go again with Sling, only this time it's a streaming package.
My America's 120 just jumped to $59.99 + $7.00 "DVR Service" = $66.99 a month, which is twice what it's worth.
That package is the bare minimum that includes the radio channels, but is really not that good a value for the price on the tv channels it has. Lots of crap channels nobody watches.
My next move will be a Tivo Roamio, running OTA channels, and some streaming, and including FTA satellite. I plan on installing better outside tv antennas as soon as the snow goes away.

I don't know that I would say crap channels. It does come with Comedy Central, espn, USA, and quite a few nice channels. I think you mean it doesn't come with the star channels you want in the nature of DIY, H2, BET, regional sports or the like. Not saying that it isn't getting expensive, but the statement of crap channels was just false, proven by ratings. The desire to have more, as most anything else, costs more, which may someday be the reason of death for the traditional model, or may be the beginning of a all new TV pckaging system.
Same here, the basic Roamio has OTA and Cable Card tuners, I could jump back and forth with the same device depending on what cable would offer.
2 years ago Dish America was a great deal, 3 price hikes in a row just killed it.
At one point, people are going to say enough is enough.

40% increase in 2 years... slightly higher than the rate of inflation!
3 years ago when DA was 34$ I bought 2 receivers hoping to sign up. Those were the only channels I wanted and the price was more than reasonable.
Life happened and I never got around to signing up despite occasionally talking to both Dirt and Dish over the past 36 months.
Now its 49$, same channels w/ no guarantee it wont be 54 or 59$ next year. If I wanted to I could get a pretty decent cable package for that price.
As Vincent K McMahon would say, "no chance in hell".

You could apply the same argument to buying a car, or a house, or hamburger meat, or lot's of other stuff. We all balance what we need, want, and simply must have and the cost of it all. You obviously have found that you can live without that level of TV entertainment. Others find that they need the "All Everything" packages just for basic survival. To each his own.
I got one from Fry's this morning, 4 tuner cable or ota, $127.00
You can even hook up a eSATA. I'm just going to upgrade the HD inside with a 3Tb
