As babnmn shows above, the regular rates for 120 and 120+ differ by $5, but the price lock values differ by $10, because the 120 was discounted $5 more than 120+ was.
Yes, and Welcome Pack also gets hit with the $5 increase, and we never had the regional sports channels in the first place.
If you want to watch these channels in HD, you have to stream them through Dish Anywhere. In the Dish Anywhere Guide there is a switch at the top to toggle to show Live Stream channels. Then, select the channel you want to stream from the Guide.
Yes, that is correct. I explained all of this in my post number 65, showing the various discounts that each of the eligible packages get.

That is interesting. The link goes directly to the correct post, but the quote shown (in the box containing the link) is from the first post on that page, not my post.Yes, that is correct.

2020 Dish Price Increases Announced
This increase will push me to cancel dish after many years. Everything we watch we could watch on Philo for $20 a month. I am on the Flex Pack and I get locals via my antenna.
This proves nothing. This tells me that the cost of all the other channels that Dish carries has gone up. Yearly price increases are built into contracts with channel owners, even ones that aren't up for renewal for years.
And do you really think that it only costs Dish $1 per month to carry that RSN? (Or more realistically, that it costs Dish less than $1 per month to carry that RSN, since Dish would still want to make a profit on the channel, rather than sell it at cost?) The rest of the actual cost of that RSN must be coming from somewhere, and I suspect it is the cause of that huge sucking sound coming from all of our wallets.
No, but I think the RSN costs them $1 more than last year, but instead of increasing the package prices by $6 for some, and $5 for others, and even $8 for those with a $3 surcharge, they separated out the increases into surcharges for all it applied to.
Okay, but why is it $5 for others, even those who lost RSN's, and those who never had RSN's to begin with? Did the combined cost of all of the other channels really go up enough this year to account for the regularly-scheduled increase and have an additional increase on top of that, that would offset the savings from dropping the RSN's? If the increase is entirely due to the increased cost of the other channels, then shouldn't the packages with the fewest channels also have had the smallest increase? This should be especially true for Welcome Pack, since the bulk of the channels in the package (such as shopping channels and religious channels) are paying Dish to be carried. Surely Dish must have increased the amount per subscriber that they are charging these channels, just as the other channel owners have increased the amount that they charge Dish, right?
The surcharge will be added to the Regional Action Pack as a separate line-item. The box explaining the surcharge lists Regional Sports Pack as one of the packages that will be affected, as shown in this post:

Well, it better be prorated just like the regional action pack is, so one day of action pack should cost 3 cents in surcharge.
