"Must Have" channel verification

[Snoozer]

Planning on switching to DISH as soon as new Hopper is available. Wife wants me to be absolutly certain that I don't screw up access to her
"must have" programs before pulling the trigger. Called DISH twice and got two different answers about which programming package I need to order. Also checked DISH channel lineup and their Programing details as well as the link to AVS spreadsheet but I'm still uncomfortable, as they don't appear to be giving me the same info. The 8 "must have" channels are: E! - DSC - NatGeo - OWN - RFD - TLC - Style - We

Can someone verify what programing package will get access to all of these channels in the LA market?

Thanks

The AT 200 should have all of those.

Might want to check on style and national geo.

I thought they where in Top250.

IIRC NatGeo moved down to AT200 a while ago. I am not certain about Style. It was in AT250, but for some reason I remember reading about it going down to AT200 as well.

 

[Mr Tony]

They are all in AT200

According to their channel chart, all of your requirements should be on the Top 200 package. http://www.dish.com/downloads/Channel-Lineup/StandardHDChannelGuide.pdf

OWN HD - America's Top 200, Dish Latino Max, or Heartland Package
RFD HD - America's Top 200 or Heartland Package
TLC HD - America's Top 120, Dish Latino Dos, or Dish America

From the list of "must haves," it looks like America's Top 200 will be the best bet due to Style. I think your wife will be pleased with her "must haves" being in HD.

That's interesting about We. I don't watch it. But, it may mean we are on our way to IFC, Sundance, and/or Fuse in HD, as well. (I still can't believe AMC didn't stipulate this in their court settlement. Or, maybe they did, on an extended timeline.)
