Yes, Absolute HD package was taken away. I suspect it wasn't a widely subscribed to package though so only a small # of customers were impacted.
Absolute HD wasn't even advertised that I'm aware of. It may have been created for VOOM subscribers that moved to Dish but I don't remember now.
Well if they take flex away, i wonder what our options will be, go down to welcome pack or pay more for at 120. I love the h3 but if it'll cost me more I'll try my teeth on sling tv/PlayStation Vue.

If Dish drops Flex Pack, people will just move to DirecTV Now or SlingTV. It ain't going to happen.
Some people might, but I won't be one. I've tested nearly all the streamers with multiple channel offerings and they just are a PITA to use in comparison to the H3. If they drop the Flex pack I suspect it will get some grandfathering as most discontinued packages have over the years. When the grandfathering goes away I'll have to figure out what to keep going forward.

So was that pretty much it from Team Summit? Amazon was pretty much the only major announcement?
I think as long as you continue to pay the bill you can keep it.
Don't pay your bill, upgrade equipment, do a dish mover they will take you off if it.
I had a lady on Dish pix which was pick 10 channels for $15.
She held onto that palace forever. She paid for lots of what should have been free upgrades and Dish movers to keep it.
I was curious about your test. Was it random quality? Receiver to Network via Wi-Fi and then Network to Amazon Fire via (Wi-Fi)? Distances from devices matter? Someone else streaming or the Hopper recording or playing something at the box?
Despite two floors, I have a very compact set-up now with everything stacked together. I could consider getting a Hopper 3 if the Fire option worked.
BTW I emailed the DISH PR folks about the Flex Pack and have not received a reply as of yet.
So we still don't know whether Flex Pack will continue to be offered in Puerto Rico?
My attitude is to just wait and see what Dish offers to replace Flex Pack. As long as my bill doesn't go up, and I don't lose too many of the channels that I actually watch, I will be happy.
Hopefully we will be grandfathered until the 2yr discount runs out.
In a way, I would like to see that, but on the other hand, I would like to see them substitute a higher-priced package for the same price.
I am just afraid that if we are grandfathered, then we will no longer be able to add and remove Channel Packs.
You have a point, changes usually mean losing grandfathered status. I really don't want to go back to paying for sports & kids programming, waste of $ for me.In a way, I would like to see that, but on the other hand, I would like to see them substitute a higher-priced package for the same price.
