The HD enthusiast that wishes for HD only package can get it from Dish network starting February, the 1st with a mere $29.99 a month. The service includes more than 70 HD channels that are currently available at Dish network from Essential and Ultimate packages minus premium movie channels, sports packages, NHL HD and NBA HD. I’m a certified HD-freak, paid full premium at TWC just to get the 4 extra premium movie channels with an outrageous cost of $96 a month and I never once watched the extra hundreds of SD movie channels that come with it. The Dish HD-only’s offer is not good enough unless they throw in ALL the HD channels, I can skip SD and don’t mind paying extra but I do need a wholesome of HD-ONLY package as long as it’s within a reasonable cost . How many readers out there are with me?

I’m with you give us what you say you are giving us Dish!
Maybe a special price to add the premiums would be nice?

amen brother! dish thinks they are being slick with the way they organized the turbo hd packages. the bronze hd package are the same hd channels you would get with the “americas top 100″ (plus required $10.00 hd access), the silver hd package are the same hd channels you would get with “americas top 200″(plus required $10.00 hd access) and the same with the hd gold/americas top 250 and hd platinum/americas everything. it is a lose lose situation for the customer. after taking away the 22 hd voom channels, and jacking up the prices for the rest of the hd channels and not to mention they will never offer any fox owned hd channels and all the bogus fees including hd reciever, hd access, hd dvr etc…., you can not get hdtv for under $100/month. i tell my friends, unless you have a blu ray player, xbox 360 or ps3, do not buy into the hd bs. get your $40 coupon for the digital switch and save your money. directv is playing the same game as dish too.
