Dish to offer HD only package - Club CDFreaks

*CDan* · 10-01-2008

Hope this is in the right forum.

Starting in Feb, Dish Network is slated to begin offering an "HD Only" programming package. Rumored fees are as follows:

All HD package $29.99
HD Premiums $10.00
Locals $ 5.99

No SD channels are included.

Presumably, receiver and DVR fees will be extra, and a 2-year commitment may be required. The HD premiums pack is an exceptionally good value, if it includes them all.

I don't know . . . is your post in HD?

Interesting. They need to load it with documentary channels to get the most out of it.

I just made the switch, from Dish Top-200 + HD + showtime to the new HD-only package + showtime. With the receiver, tax and DVR fees, my monthly bill will go from $93 to about $63. Plus, I'll be getting several HD channels that I wasn't getting before on the 200 package, like NGC and Science channels.

Finally, I'm rid of 200 channels of useless crap.
