Couldn't One Sub to TWO Core Packages Not Too Long Ago?

[eacalhoun]

Am I totally delirious, or was it not too long ago that one could subscribe to TWO core packages? My "dream" package (for channels and value) would be the Smart (formerly Family) Package PLUS the Welcome Package. I PMd a DIRT member recently about this and was told "no". And maybe 10 years or so ago, didn't Dish offer something called "Pick Your Pack" or something similar?

The only "Add on package" would be the spanish package (I forget the name) to an AT package (like At120)...Latino Bonus Pack or something?

And maybe 10 years or so ago, didn't Dish offer something called "Pick Your Pack" or something similar?

They had Dish Pix which started when Dish started. It was 10 channels (minus Disney) for $10. You picked them
Then when Dish went to multiple packages it was still 10 channels form the "basic" package....last it was $15

That is no longer available

At one time, I think I remember being able to combine the Family Package and 120. You can no longer do that. They did have DISH Pix which was the ability to pick your own channels. That was long ago discontinued and those who were grandfathered in were recently switched over to the Welcome Package.

Thanks for the link to the old thread, Iceberg. I read through the entire thread and it's right at two years old - September, 2010. Hard to imagine how much has changed in just 2 short years!!

but to think if it was still available. I went through that and the 3 main channels I watch are part of that
