I'm finding DishNetworks web site to be less than helpful, and their phone folks to, well, they're not much more helpful than DirecTV's phone folks.
So, a few questions:
1) Can I get TurboHD all by itself? We like the $25 price tag for Bronze. Is that an actual stand-alone price are do they need us to buy one of the non-HD packages and then add TurboHD to that?
2) What are the 'over 40' channels? The site states you get more than 40 channels, but they only show 26 logos channels. I assume they maybe are counting 14 VOD channels?
3) If we upgrade for the $5 local channels, is that ALL local channels? For instance, now with digital, we get 7 local PBS stations. Would we get all of those? If not, is switching between Dish and OTA antenna a pain or fairly easy?
4) Any of you use the $10 platinum add on? Worth it? Universal HD and HDNet Movies seem worth it.
5) DVR. What do I need to add a HD DVR to the mix? I can't quite figure the additional fees for that.
6) Who to buy from? Sounds like a good local distributor is the best way to go. Any suggestions for the Twin Cities, MN region?
I know that's a lot of questions. I appreciate any answers any of you can provide. Thanks!
