Channels

[rodder]

looking for a way to save some money. I have top 250 now but do not watch of the channels. I was looking at the new smart pack with the HD Channels Package can i get both of these together.

What's best really depends on what you want. I suggest looking at Dish's website and looking at what's in each package. Also, do you get HD Free for life? If so, most packages has HD channels.

 

[rodder]

i do not get HD Free for life. i guess what i am asking will i get all channels in both packages.

 

[rodder]

i just found out you can only get the HD add on with Top-120 Thru top-250.

If you need to save lots of money in the short term, consider pausing your account.

You would still get your locals in HD.

You can have Dish America... is almost the same channels as Smart Pack, but in HD, and you don't have to pay for the HD.

I'm pretty sure you can no longer subscribe to the DISH America package(s). Not certain, just pretty sure.

Dish America...yes
Silver and Gold..no

DISH shows seven English language packages on the dish.com website. Dish America is NOT among them.

They list:

• AT120
• AT120+
• AT200
• AT250
• Welcome Pack
• Smart Pack
• AEP

From My Account, the DISH America package is not listed as an option either.

I strongly suspect it has been moved to grandfathered status.

 

[Mr Tony]

still shows as an option in the mydish area

silver and gold are gone

 

[rodder]

shows in mine too.

Yeah, Dish America is not an option for new subs, but existing subs still can switch to it. As stated before, Silver and Gold are gone.

Two words, Latino Dos HD. It gives the biggest bang for the fewest bucks, if the channel selection is up your alley. You won't save a huge amount of money, but around $25, the bill will be lower than $60 a month, assuming a single rcvr.

If you go to the My Programming page (where you might effect such a choice), DISH America does NOT appear as an option.

It would appear that the other listing is for comparative purposes only.

I guess they don't like you. It shows as a choice for me, listed just under Smart Pack, and I can select its radio button.

i just found out you can only get the HD add on with Top-120 Thru top-250.

The HD Free for Life option or add-on is also available for the $37.99 Dish Latino Plus, $48.99 Dish Latino Dos, or/and $61.99 Dish Latino Max in addition to the America's Top packages.

I agree. While $25/month may not seem like a lot, it adds up to $300 savings a year. After the fourth year (if staying with Dish), that would be over a $1,000 savings.

Perhaps it is an Eastern Arc thing. AT120 appears under the Smart Pack on my account.
