When I originally subscribed to Dish back in 2001 I didnt think I would be a subscriber from this long a time. I have a Dish Pro 301 Receiver and Dish 500 dish with the AT130 and HBO/Cinemax combo. Fast forward to now and I do have an HD tv set and I have a set top box to get the local HDs. I am now debating on if I should get a HD DVR or not with the upcoming confusing price changes. I did read that long long thread here. Is the HD content really worth it right now?
Which Satellites carry the HD channels? I read somewhere the new 118.7 has them but then I read somewhere else the 61.5 has them too. Do I Just a simple Dish for the 61.5 and be done with it? Or can I simply replace the feed section of my Dish 500 to get all the channels?
Is it just me or is Dish who has 10 satellites up there seems like there is no organization with where the channels are. Some people have two dishes like 61.5 and Dish 500 or some just got Dish 500+ etc...
Anyway I would probably stick to my exist package and get the HD I guess that is called HD Bronze today. Then adding HBO and Cinemax to the mix.
You know I cant seems to find any online vendor to cater to someone like me who was interesting in upgrading.... Specifically sayin in their website if your a present AT130 customer and you want to upgrade to HD Bronze this is what you need and what you can get. Not even Dish site has this, whats up with that?
Here is my other variable. I live in an area that just got Fios cabling installed on the poles. I am expecting that they will light that up Spring of 2007. However I did some programming checking and they wont have AMC one of my stations so that might be a major point against them but overall price will rule.
Comments, Suggestions please. Thanks.
