I had HD4Life and Platinum HD for $10/mo. Yesterday I dropped PlatinumHD but Dish didn't remove the following channels:
Palladia
HDNet Movies
NDnet Plex
MGMHD
RetroHD
WFNHD
It's been 24 hrs. since the change and all the other Platinum channels were remove within a few minutes. Interesting.
Anyone else noticed this?
I think there's a free preview going on right now.
The best way to decide if it's for you is to pull up the All Channels Guide and look at the movies on the Platinum channels and see if there's anything you can't get on Netflix. I have Platinum and not really a movie fan but have seen a lot of old movies on there (very old) that I would watch. But, I have no interest in Netflix and the Platinum is free in my package.
Should be able to get most of the movies on netflix. Plus I don't think platinum is "free" any more. If you were paying the $10 for HD+Platinum, platinum was bundled in. If you have "HD for life", you can drop platinum and save $10/month
I have the Dish Absolute package and the Platinum has always been included in it at no additional cost.

I agree. I dropped my Cinemax package last week because of the end of the penny for a year offer and I'm glad I did. I think the Platinum pack is the best "premium" pack that's offered because of the $10.00 price and the number of different channels you get. With HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax, you might get more channels but they all seem to show the same stuff over & over just at different times. What good is having 5 Cinemax channels if they all play the same thing each day, but switch around which one of the 5 channels they show it on?

I think that it's worth the $10 just for the Epix channels alone. Everything else in that package is gravy.
Even if one has netflix?

dvrexpander said:If you stream in your netflix movies like I do over something like a Wii then its a tie since both have pro's and cons.
Netflix streaming :
Pro's - Near DVD Quality, Free with regular subscription
Con's - Hardly anything to stream worth a damn IMO
PlatinumHD:
Pro's - Great movie selection from many channels like EPIX ( Getting ready to release EPIX3), Multiple channels all in HD even if some of the shows are not.
Con's - As mentioned above some shows are not in HD widescreen format, Its $10,
I've got both and enjoy a little bit of both but then again I have that extra $10 to toss in there for it and I feel I do get my money worth out of it since I think anymore I'm watching these channels vs all the others.
