I'm confused also....it doesn't take much. But, why have a HD receiver without having the HD pack on there already. I guess this is aimed at people that have cancelled the HD pack and still receive programming from dish. Seems like another way to make some cash to me. I'm a Directv sub and I dropped the HD pack from my package. That means under the new Dish rule I would have to pay an extra 6 bucks a mth to keep the Hd receiver active? Sounds like bad news to me. Nothing suprises me though.jeffwtux said:Wait, is ths $6 if you don't subscribe to AT60 or $6 if you don't take the HD pak? Why would you get a 211 if you didn't want HD programming?
