Well... after two Dish reps "positively confirming" that KBS World is only included w/ AT120 or above via chat, I decided to downgrade my service to Dish America. Although I preferred to have KBS, Dish America had all the channels I watch for $10 less/month. From what I've seen in the forum, I was pretty sure KBS would still come out, but wanted to get official confirmation (which the two reps quite affirmatively said 'no').
The verdict? KBS World comes out fine after the downgrade to Dish America. As it was stated here, it seems like KBS is treated as a public access channel, but I assume it's possible b/c I started w/ a dish that was able to receive KBS when I first got it installed. I agree w/ the OP and Tampa8 - this should be clearly stated, and the reps should be made aware. Customers should be expected/forced to understand these details when the channels are advertised as part of the package.
