I totally agree with you.
 
I said in the other thread that they should roll the top 250 extra cable channels into the top 200 , roll Encore theme pack into Starz and or sell it ala cart. There is not enough of the top 250 to justify an extra $10.00 a month for. Encore channels alone are like $6.00 for ala cart ,so that is most of the price of the extra top 250 channels. I don't watch the Encore channels much because they are all Sd ,except one Hd channel. I don't watch much of anything in Sd, especially if it is a movie channel.
 
I agree, it's almost better to Just add Encore at the 6 month discount for $3 to the Top 200 pack.

Yes for 6 months. But the point I was making was that Encore channels are $6.00 of the price of the $10.00 you pay for the extra channels you get in top 250.
 
Does anybody have the list of channels we lose if we drop down to AT200?

Destination Anerica is now in the lower packages as well as Top 200.
 
Top 250 is pointless as far as my TV viewing goes.

Since I started moving away from paying for premiums I moved up to the Top 200 because there are a few channels my wife and I like.

Please do NOT encourage Dish to move channels to the top 250. They need to add more to the bottom levels, so we do not have to pay so much for more channels. Why don't you just drop to a lower level of channels, if you are not happy with the 250 package .

Agree the more they keep lowering channels in the Higher pack , make the lower packs more expensive.

GAC is also in the Smart Pack .
If he could live with that it would save him a ton of money.

oh god no. AT200 would work for him but he HAS to have GAC
So every year when Dish raises rates and he bitches, I tell him these channels you would lose if you dropped down to AT200 and "oh I cant get rid GAC"
(yeah dad...so you can watch the one hour of old videos every day at noon and they repeat it about every 6th day)

If FS1 was in AT120 (its not) honestly I could convince him down to AT120+ (he does watch FSN every now and then but FS1 is needed for NASCAR) but I keep trying to convince him down to AT200

As kindly as I can say it, when you reach a certain age unless you simply can not afford something because you won't pay your rent or have food, then $10 to have a channel or two I watch all the time probably is worth it. If not having it now, then when?
 
Reactions: flody1 and charlesrshell

That was me moving from 120 to 200. I tried 120+ for awhile but we missed some stuff. Now Top 250, that is a whole nother story for me because the channel interest is not there.Also, paying what the Premiums ask nowadays when you can get the content elsewhere caused me to slowly cancel. I used to carry all the premiums every month and not even worry about it, but it is just wasteful to me now.
