I wouldn't sub to these channels at the add-on rate. Personally, I try to aim under $1/channel if I can help it. I imagine when Fashion TV HD (from the list at the beginning of the year) launches on e*, it will be in this pack. Other than that, what else is there that doesn't have an SD counter part? Guess you could add Wealth-HD, if you add those two to platinum then you are at 10 channels for $10 ('course it is hard to count BET-J "HD")
For full disclosure, I get those channel with Absolute, but if I were ever forced from absolute (or, somehow, a Full Time CSN
hilly HD were available) into a turbo pack; platinum would not be part of my subscription.

I get NBATV and NHLN without paying for the NBA or NHL packages. They are part of my normal HD package. I don't know who else gets them, but check 402 & 403, I think.
Not me. I have Classic 250 with HD gold. Last I knew NBA channel is only available in the Americas Everything pack. And the HD version only avail. in the HD Platinum pack.
NHL I'm not sure what the rules are , But I still don't get the channel either.
No kidding! I even had a poll when they removed the Voom channels from this package, asking if it was worth the $10.00 back then. Whomever didn't cancel it back then, well you've been ripped off by Dish.
It is available in the Multi sports pack (NHL and NBA) but only in SD. you are forced to get the Platinum HD to get the same channels in HD! Unfortunately I have to do both to get NBA and NHL in HD.
We cancelled this HD add-on as well. Never watched anything in there and the wife never went past Starz in the guide anyways.

No, you don't need to subscribe to the Multi Sports pack. If you subscribe to Platinum HD, you get NHL Network and NBA Network in both HD and SD.
You are right but without the multi sports pack I wouldn't get Fox Midwest and Fox North in addition to Comcast Chicago. So Ihave to have both!
HDNet is included in EVERY HD package. You can't have HD and not have HDNet. (However, HDNet Movies is in Platinum)
I don't understand what you're talking about. Platinum is an add on pack. It doesn't matter what else you have, its a specific list of channels for a specific price. Why would you WANT channels to be forced into a higher add on package?
That would explain it then. I've compared the packages and I get HD Absolute - which (right now) is equivalent to Turbo Gold + Platinum - Encore.
Sparks: I meant the Movies channel, which I watch quite a bit. My latter point is that I DO subscribe to Platinum, and I STILL can't get FBN or MTV.
With the present offerings in Platinum HD for $10 - I would NEVER subscribe to it: I concur: A RIP-OFF!!!
Yea its definetly not worth $10 a month.I cancelled it today and now just have 250hd package.They need to lower the price or put them in the 250hd package.
