HD channels not in TURBO HD Silver

[gopherscot]

Yes but the question is do the Turbo subscribers get the platinum thrown in-im guessing dish wont do that-its 10 bucks more

I don't believe the Turbo customers get Platinum HD. It is only available with Classic Bronze and above.

FWIW ... I tried getting Turbo Silver and was told it is not available. Lookslike I may need to call and try somebody different. Only channel I would miss is Fox News.

I think you should try again and be a bit for forceful. Unless things recently changed, the TurboHD packages are still available even though they are no longer being promoted. That said, I have heard that some CSRs don't want to seem to let people switch to them.

Have tried twice ... both said to call back after 2-1-10.

TurboHD will be changing names and the price will be going DOWN $5 a month (plus will include locals)

The new name will be DISH America. TurboHD bronze will just be called DISH America (dropping the bronze name) but the other packages will retain their metal names.

Looks like they will permanently be a subset of channels from the regular packages.

A friend of mine just called DISH this morning and switched from Classic 200+HD+Platinum (yes they were still charging him for that) to TurboHD Silver. Not sure why you keep getting the run around...

When I switched back to TurboHD Silver last month, the CSR kept suggesting other packages that I change to instead. Finally after three or four package suggestions, he went ahead and switched me to TurboHD Silver.

I sent it in online and just got switched after my request to ceo@echostar.com. Got the Turbo gold and Multi sports.

Can anyone tell me what SD channels, if any, might be included with the Turbo packages?

For example, any of the Public interest channels? If you add locals to the Turbo package, are the locals that are not in HD also included?

You get all the HD/SD equivalents ... so if it is HD you also get the SD. Same with locals, multi sports pack etc. Also get shopping channels and a couple religious channels.

If the HD channel also has a SD version then it is also included. Also, you can still watch HD channels on a SD television.

I assume that even Turbo HD Gold still has no Nickelodeon?

 

[Stargazer]

What channels do you get in Turbo HD Gold that you dont get in Silver?

That is correct. No Nick, MTV, VH1, BET, Fox News, Fox Business, Speed, FX, or MSNBC.
