Looks like DISH is offering an HD only package for $29.99 a month:

No need for any base packages.

Read the last line. You must have at least the America's Top 100 package.

How does TWC respond to this?


Maybe an all free HD package just screw on the cable:rof:

Oh well TWC should have a field day with this one regardless, btw it is 29.99 you do not have to have ANY additional programing with this.  Just did a dish builder on line.

indicates that there should be additions to it in the next 2 weeks. Speculation is:

MGM
Smithsonian
CNN
Tennis HD.

etc.

In addition, if you auto pay, you can get Cinemax for $.1 cents for a year.

Is FXHD and/or USAHD one of the etc?

[Chinatown]

They claim that they have been testing them, and others........just have not yet opened them to the subscribers...............

I read on their website that you can plug an antenna in to the back of the box to get your locals in HD, but there may be a fee for that.  Is there a fee to get your free locals using their box?  I'm not talking about getting the locals from the dish.

I think they only charge if you get locals through them.  You will only get guide listings for OTA if you subscribe to their locals though.

Yes, that is correct................However if you do get locals from them, you then will be able to implement the DVR, for programming.

Coming soon................All of the attached will be added to the HD only programming.........
