I know Nickelodeon isn't included, Nick Jr & Nick Toons are included, though. I said one Nickelodeon channel wasn't included & we could live with that.

I'm supposed to get the G4 card for one of the 722k receivers on Wednesday & then will get the programming changed. Then I will be able to find out exactly what I do get.

You said "Who knows, maybe that Nick channel is also included in the Kids Pack."

I'm confirming its not in there.

I can guarantee that Root Sports NW IS included in the regional sports pack with Flex. I receive channel 426 in HD/SD on the other side of the state. Also using a 722K. Switched last year from AT 250+ to the Flex pack, no locals, plus national and regional sports packs.

That's what I wanted. I know many insisted the RSNs are included in the Regional Action Pack but all of the Dish reps insisted they aren't. You are the first one who could give first-hand knowledge that it is. By the way, I did finally find a page on Dish's web site that says in-market RSNs are included.

I contacted a rep on Facebook this morning to make the change (I had to wait for a new Smart Card for one 722k) & specified "the Flex Pack plus Kids Pack and Regional Action Pack, keeping the two superstations (KTLA & KWGN) & e-bill & auto pay" but they did not include the Regional Action Pack when they made the switch. I said I wanted the Regional Action Pack & the rep said "You want it even without Root Sports?" He was genuinely surprised that when he finally did add it that Root Sports NW was included.
