TurboHD no longer a tab on Dishnetwork.com...

[FitzAusTex]

You can still navigate to the TurboHD packages by selecting the Packages tab -> English Programming, but TurboHD is no longer one of the red 'tabs' at the top of their homepage. Wonder what this means exactly...maybe nothing, maybe a move away from those packages?

Methinks it is not a good sign. The reason I signed with E* instead of D* was because of an HD only package. I wonder if we will soon learn that Turbo will be discontinued, one year to the date it was launched.

That is a little peculiar and unsettling...

Tonight on Charlie Chat they announce (drumroll please) Dish Ultra HD, the first true all HD programming solution from dishnetwork (the package is in no way related to a similarly name channel no longer on our sevice).

I mean, it was about this time last year they went from Absolute to Turbo; time for another name change.
BTW - this topic really isn't a Technical Issue, shouldn't it be in the main dish forum??

I thought I had opened it in the main dish forum...oops.

Question, which HD channels are missing from the Turbo HD packages, which are available from the Non Turbo HD packages?

I just logged into my account, and the TurboHD tab is still there.

Looking online ... Nick HD is not listed for example. I don't see Fox News HD in Bronze either. Not seeing Speed HD either ...

Question, which HD channels are missing from the Turbo HD packages, which are available from the Non Turbo HD packages?

Off the top of my head, I think the following are the missing channels thus far:

In Turbo Bronze
- Nick
- MTV
- VH1
- Fox News

In Turbo Silver
- Bet
- FX
- Speed

In Turbo Gold
- Fox Business News

Ok, so I am finding the Turbo HD tab on SOME pages on their website. (either they are sloppy taking them down or made a mistake).

For Instance (trying to find the answer to Scott's question), I used the search box and typed "Gold HD" trying to find the HD add on channel page (which I can't find). On the search results page, the Turbo HD tab is on the menu bar.
