If you only have a SmartPack with a la carte FXX you will loose the channel today, and need to upgrade to at least the 120+. It jumped my bill about $50, which seems steep. Whatever happened to grandfathering? Oh, and the RFD channel is not on 120+, so another $5 add-on to get back what we had yesterday.
FXX a la carte ends today

Those channels are really slick. If you don't hold on tight,they get loose.
Why would 120+ be required?
You mean 120?
Or is this FXX the old Speed channel that used to be a sports channel, that no longer is?

FXX is what use to be Fox Soccer
FS1 is what was Speed
FS2 is what use to be Fuel
MTV is a station that use to play music videos
No, FXX is the new Fox station that airs The Simpsons 4 nights a week now, and other content. It is an a la carte channel on FiOS, I guess to recoup what they paid for The Simpsons.
It has been about 12 hours since I called in to make the change, and FXX remains 'Not Authorized' error 013. I was the first to call it in, and they escalated to engineering. Hopefully tonight's update will fix it.

looking at the dish site 120+ is required for FXX (or above)
Seems odd it isnt in 120 but with Dish they make some odd decisions as to package placement
I'm guessing the reason it's still in 120+ much be contract related. Because it really shouldn't be since it isn't sports anymore.
That's really the only difference from 120 -120+. It's just 120 with the added Multisports pack.

Dish site says otherwise. Under AT120+ it says "locals and regional sports network(s)
Under Multisport it says "Get Multi-Sport Pack from DISH, including over 35 channels of your favorite sports networks. Multi-Sport Pack offers sports fans the very best coverage at an unbeatable value. Only $13/mo with minimum subscription to America's Top 120 Plus or above or DishLATINO Max."
Very well could be then, It was Hard for me to tell the difference between the packages when I signed up, because I had 120+ for all of about 5 minutes, until I upgraded to 250.
But you are probably right.
I could have swore I had SEC Longhorn and a bunch of other Root sports channels.
But it makes more sense than it would only add your local RSns.

What if you don't have any?
I wonder if that why I had all them RSNs.
Dish was trying to trick me lol.
Because so far I only saw FXX as the only difference between 120 and 120+.

Called again. There is an issue with programming on the Dish IT side. I imagine it only affects commercial accounts, so there must not be many of us. I have accounts in 2 different locations, with 120+ and neither of them work for FXX. All the other channels are working fine. Perhaps tomorrow.
