I know Palladia is in the regular HD package but in one of Scott's post they said it was moving to Platinum. Is Palladia still available after you guys dropped the Platinum package?
I just dropped the Platinum HD from Dish Latino Max, and:
- My Account web page went through the whole change, including giving me before and after billing, BUT after the change, the web page still says Platinum is part of my programming, BUT
- Nevertheless my Platinum channels vanished from my Guide (not even in red).
- Every channel that is not also in SD vanished, except for HD-Net which is still there(I think this is due to an agreement with Mark Cuban back a few months ago.)
- As specified in the literature and threads, Palladia and HDNetMovies are now in Platinum, and vanished.
- Usually billing changes appear in the Account web page overnight, so I expect to see the change tomorrow.
- You will be charged $5 downgrade fee.
Each guy needs to evaluate the Platinum channels, which do make a good movie package if you want more movies on your Dish receiver, but I was happy to save the $10 a month.
PS I am still grandfathered in the FSCPlus (formerly Setanta) for $10 deal for Latino or International subscribers, so I am keeping it through the summer, to make sure that I don't have it go up to $15 when I want it again in August...
Im not able to login an hold times are too long so Ill just wait it out and see.
ok - now i'm thoroughly confused - i went online and don't have 'free' for anything! is this just for certain customers? i see i can do one of the two options but it appears some are getting 'grandfahtered' in - what exactly is the prerequisite for this - to be grandfathered in?
The prerequisite was having a subscription to the "HD & Platinum" package, which then changed today to HD Free package for $0.00 and HD Platinum package for $10.00.
There is a picture earlier in the thread of what this would look like at:

kstuart,
It looks like the HD free does not contain Platinum programming, the HD free is any of the metal packages? Is that why the Dish site offers two links, one for $10.00 and one free?
thanks - i have the following what appears to qualify:
HD 250 10.00
Multi Sport 5.99
HD Platinum 10.00
Service Plan (15/0) 6.00
3 Premium Package 31.00
America's Top 250 With Locals 62.99
DVR Service 6.00
HD Solo Receiver 7.00
$ 138.98
but i don't see what is in the screenshot on the page you linked above on my account. i see hd for life- but it says for either $99 or 24 mo commitment.
Existing Customer Accounts Already Subscribing to the $10/mo. “HD & Platinum” Add-on Before June 3, 2010 – Existing customers who were subscribing to the $10/mo. “HD & Platinum” package prior to June 3, 2010, will be automatically grandfathered into “HD Free for Life” without being required to enter into a 24-month “HD Free for Life” commitment OR pay the $99 HD Programming Upgrade Fee. These customers will experience no price change due to their participation in this offer; they will receive “HD Free for Life” for the life of their account and will be charged for the $10/mo. HDPlatinum add-on package.
HD Free is the HD version of every SD channel in your subscription (if that channel is carried by Dish in HD), plus also HD-Net.
HD Platinum is all the HD channels that have no SD equivalent.
I would call Dish, I have to believe that cases like "eddieras" deserve more consideration for free HD for life. Otherwise, it would make absolutely no sense, especially if eddieras is paying $20 a month for HD, Platinum. Sounds like a silly technicalityIt looks like you did not get grandfathered, probably because you had separate "HD" and "Platinum" packages, rather than "HD&Platinum" package, because you did not read this site regularly, and thus missed out on saving $10 a month by changing to the "HD&Platinum" package. Here is the info on grandfathering:
Thanks that was it. I wonder why they changed.
