Dish Network HD Package Comparison Chart

[CK SatGuy]

Okay guys, since people here from time to time ask which HD channels are in what package, I created this little comparison chart for everyone here to use for future reference. A few notes first before you see the attachment.

1. It includes all DISH America packages and AT Packages
2. It does NOT include America's Everything Pak since everyone knows it has all the channels.
3. It does NOT include premium channels since they're either only in the everything pak or ordered separately.
4. The Golf Channel HD is located under the T's
5. Palladia HD is included in the DISH America pacakges but NOT in the AT packages.
6. Chart DOES NOT include regional sports networks BUT they're included in all packages EXCEPT AT 120.
7. NBA TV HD AND Tennis Channel HD are at the bottom of the chart because I almost forgot about them.
8. This chart contains all info to the best of my knowledge and may differ from what E* has on their comparison guide. (Although chances are my info is more accurate than what E* says)
9. FINALLY, this chart includes HD channels ONLY. If you want me to create one with SD channels, just let me know and I'll post one ASAP. Thanks.

One error that I noted:
National Geographic is not listed in the America Gold column. It is included in that package.

Don't assume that AEP includes all channels because it doesn't. The most important exception here being that AEP doesn't include HD Platinum channels. It also doesn't include some HD channels that can be had as part of the Multi-Sport package.

I'm not sure I like the idea that you avoided inclusion of the Platinum HD channels from an HD channel listing.

side comment: The magic of spreadsheets is that you can easily sort them long after the fact. Just make sure to select the entirety of the spreadsheet and click the header row radio button in the sort dialog.
side comment 2: Always leave the cursor at the top of the spreadsheet so the column titles are visible. It might pay dividends to lock the title row.

I know that AEP doesn't include channels that are in the multi-sport package like NFL RedZone and ESPN Classic. And the the reason I didn't include the HD Platinum was because everyone already knows what channels are in that package plus I think some people don't even care about it (but I could be wrong). Anyway the point of making this was to let people know what basic and standard HD channels are in what package in case people ever want to upgrade or downgrade their own package in the future because chances are that those are the channels people watch the most. Also, it could help other people who are thinking about switching to E* in the future too.

Big Ten is in AT120+ if you are in the right state. Nice comparision chart.

Yeah that's true since it would be considered a regional sport network. I should put that in the original post.

FWIW NickF@DISH Network (part of the Dish Internet Response Team) recently posted a HD Comparison spreadsheet in the linked thread.

Yeah but mine seems to be a little more accurate. For example, he doesn't have A&E HD under DISH America (just under Silver and Gold instead)

But his is prettier

ckhalil18, I think you have a few errors. For example, MSNBC HD is not available with the 'metal' packages. You also need to check HD Theatre and Palladia.

Actually they are in there. check E* website DISH America Silver From DISH Network

 

[yaz96]

You should add the Dish Latino packages on there as well.

Dish America packages are off, I went to Silver and no MSNBC there.

I asked Dish if they had a CURRENT HD comparison chart to include Latino Dos/Max, Silver/Gold, and 120+/200/250. They said they would send me some in 2-3 weeks. Of course they may be outdated by then, who knows.

Can someone from the DISH Response team make sure MSNBC is really in Dish America Silver because if it's not then you guys need to fix your website. (meaning E* website)

 

[milehighmike]

ckhalil18,

I have Dish America Gold with Platinum. I assure you MSNBC HD is not a channel I receive. I suggest that if you want to have your listing as accurate as possible, you also need to check how you've shown Palladia and HD Theatre.

There are well known errors in the Dish website for the DA/metal packages.. you CANNOT trust the Dish website for those.
