I, too, was on Absolute HD, and got $15 credits for 12 months + Free Starz Anni Promo + Free Platinum, which all ended last week. I chatted with Dish and asked what they might do to keep me as a customer since my bill was really going to go up this month (to keep Platinum and lose the $15x12 credits). They offered me BB@Home free for 12 months, so I stayed (I really wasn't going anywhere anyway). At first they spoke about 24 month commitment, but they nixed that. I have the chat transcript confirming no commitment. I also rechatted the other day with a different rep to inquire if I was under contract, and was told no.I ended up contacting Dish and was told this. As stated, some genius at Dish equates those random HD channels with BB@Home now with the addition of the one-disc plan. They tried to offer it free for 12 months with a new 24-month contract but I passed. I said "no contract and lower cost" was my goal and was offered 3 months free BB@Home + $5/mo credit for 6 months and I took it.

Switched from AT200 to the welcome pack last night. The wife was ok with losing Bravo, but we'll see for how long. We have been watching more Netflix and Amazon Prime together, so maybe it won't be missed by her.
Hope U like it cause you are stuck for 2 yrs now.I switched to Directv. Install set for 3/7 which is right after my final $10 DISH credit.

It is if you're stuck watching 30 channels in SD on DirecTV that you used to watch in HD on Dish. I don't want to endure that again.2 yrs isn't that long. I was with Dish since 04 or 05. But, it only seems like a year or 2!

You are barely going to see a difference.Well, from what i heard. I'll be getting a 1920X1080I picture. Don't know if thats possible through Dish anymore!

find me the 30.....oh wait you can't because there isn't. There are channels that one provider has in HD that the other one doesn't...so it doesnt equal 30
True the difference isn't 30, but there are about 30 Dish has the D* doesn't and probably the same number D* has that Dish doesn't. But the ones on D* just happen to be ones I never watch, and the ones Dish has I do watch. So for my viewing habits, D* is sorely lacking. I'm sure a sports fan would say the same about Dish.find me the 30.....oh wait you can't because there isn't.

I just called.. and they were only willing to offer $5 off for 6 mos + 1 free movie ch for 3 mos. she said she would note that on the acct.. so I wonder if I'm pretty hosed at this point to get anything better ? If this is all they want to do, I can switch to Direct, and get my 2nd TV to HD, and still be $13 ahead (net) vs. staying with Dish....
I'm looking to switch from Latino Max to AT200 but all I've been offered is the BB@home for 12 for free but have to go w/ the commitment for 2 yrs. I just don't feel it is worth it. My bro just dropped the BB@home as he said it really wasn't worth it. He was never getting the BR's on his cue. Going back under contract for 12 months of a mediocre 1 disc at a time service that isn't stocking enuff just isn't worth it. There is no BB in the area so no way to just drop off and get another quick. E* you are gonna have to do better than this.
