I was going to drop my Dish service because of the price increase until I found these forums and this thread. Thanks for the info! I'd be happy just to have the locals for $15, the rest is just a bonus to me. With this package and netflix I'm set and saving money.

Wow, talk about sudden unemployment today and my wife a couple of weeks ago, I called and told them I'm gonna fall behind at almost 95 bucks a month.
I went with the Welcome Pack and Superstations...which means I cut out a lot of sports out with no Espn or CSN Chciago....but at least I keep a signal on till things get better.....
and the heartbreaker was forgetting to keep my PBS National feed as I had it for 14 years and grandfathered in and I like that channel and watch it often.....called back to say please keep that....and no dice

Like you, I have had the PBS national feed since I first got Dish 13 years ago and I probably watch it more than any other station.
We do realize how many people miss the PBS national channel. I went ahead and placed a programming request for both of you. It would be nice to get this channel back!!
I concur. Even though in SD, I watch it often enough that I would miss it. I will be extra careful not let it get deleted.
Dish Network has added the locals to the programming packages so it is no longer an option to remove from the programming.
Re: Welcome Pack/Locals only question
Hi all. A newbie to the board here. Just a quick question:
Is there still a way to just get local channels for $6 per month or must you get the locals with the Welcome Pack for $14.95 per month? Thanks for any help!

There may be a locals only pack, but it is not qualifying, meaning you would have to pay a fee on your primary receiver (even if owned). Probably makes the locals only moot, as I bet it is cheaper these days than even a 311 fee + locals.
I don't believe that you can get just locals anymore unless you are willing to pay $9.00 access fee for NOT having a programming pack. For the same price $ 14.99 you get 20 miscellaneous channels from all programming pack and your locals with the Welcome pack. Seems like a no brainer to me to pick the Welcome pack and get something of value for your extra money.
Locals only are simply not offered anymore. There's no way to get them (that I know of, I know someone mentioned having them after the change).
You'll have to get the Welcome Pack for $14.99 (includes locals), that's the lowest you can go
I may be remembering wrong but when subs could get locals only package, wasn't there also a five dollar charge on top of locals for not having a standard pack?
Locals only were 9.99 plus a (I think) $6 access fee. We did away with both those, so you get more bang for you buck with the welcome pack
The Welcome Pack is $14.99/month, and that includes locals. If you did not qualify for any locals (which everyone now does), it would be $5 less
Last news I had was Welcome pack was no longer available, only for customers that already had it up and running........has it changed??
Thank you
Thank you
