New Website and TurboHD

[browerjs]

Nowhere on the new TurboHD page on dishnetwork.com do I see that the HD only packages are for new subscribers only. Am I missing something?

DISH Network -- Dish HD

Yes, but nowhere on that page does it say available to new subscribers only.

It is, whether or not the website says it. I have an e-mail from the executive office that states it's for new customers only too...

Call and try and switch to it. Or use the online chat.

Many people are saying that after Feb '09 (6 months from now) it will be available to current customers.

I have the same information from the executive office as well as the Feb '09 date quoted. I just think it's strange that it's not on the website. When the website went up earlier then it was supposed to, didn't it have the new subscriber info there?

I'd try changing, but I'm on Dish Pause for another month, so I can't... Guess I'll try later.

I have tried with CSR roulette and they aren't going for it

Strangely they list Encore HD in both the gold and platinum packs. I have AT250 with HD Essentials and am getting all the channels in the gold pack today. No turbocharge screen on my 622 this morning, so no 1080p VOD yet.
