There is no way they will go back on the credits. Just like customers leaving, credits are a cost of contract negotiations. I'm sure they knew exactly how much they were willing to give out before they dropped the channels. If they told you $10 per month for 6 months you will get it for 6 months. That is just an example. I'm not sure what credit most people got.
If they are smart, they raise the package prices by no more than $5, tick up DVR/protection plan/other services by $1 or $2, and give free Starz or some other "bonus" to offset it in the minds of their customers.

Look at a handful of their profiles and I'd say "yes". I used to enjoy going on their page to watch people bicker and to see what gpollock was saying for the day. The bickering got old and Gregory got a job.
It may only be a minor PITA for folks like you and me. But, what about the vast majority of users?
Why are consumers so often willing to accept poor decisions by the entities that provide our goods and services, as opposed to questioning them? In this case, bringing back AMC on a different channel than the one it held previously may be minor. But, it's still inconvenient, confusing, and makes little sense. Why not just bring it back to its original position in the lineup?
lol!!!Look at a handful of their profiles and I'd say "yes". I used to enjoy going on their page to watch people bicker and to see what gpollock was saying for the day. The bickering got old and Gregory got a job.
I just gave Dish's facebook page a view and it's hilarious. There are a lot of people who comment before they think.
Know since Dish is the the mood to kiss and make up it is now time for the Disney dispute to be put aside as well! First Big Ten network,then Amc, and now disney hopefully! That would really be nice!
If Dish settles all their outstanding disputes and litigation, someone is bound to theorize that it's being done so Charlie can sell! 
---wait,,, did someone say Charlie is selling Dish?

Now, which package is AMC included in? There's conflicting posts on their Facebook page, from DISH themselves! One CSR it's saying AT200+, another is stating AT120+. Which is it??

It's in Freeview. Again for everyone who keeps asking, it's in FREEVIEW - that means everyone gets to see it. Officially it may be in the same packages it was before, so AT200 could be a correct answer. In fact if you asked me what package it is included in, I would say last I saw Top200 and above.(And I think one other lower package, not Top120)
What package is it in right now however is a different answer.

I understand that it's in free view until 11/21. I was asking (as we're others on the Facebook page) what package it would be in AFTER that. And we were given two responses, as I posted above.
I don't consider free view a "package", as its only temporary and changes frequently.
Did Dish on facebook post it is until 11/21?
And that is not what you posted here as a question. You asked NOW what package is AMC in. See why you get different answers? NOW is not AFTER......

Good questions. According to Dish, "Yes." Seriously, I just visited dishnetwork.com and AMC doesn't show up in AT120, AT200 or AT250.
Its listed as at120 and above on the dish website now.... http://www.dish.com/entertainment/packages/americas-top-120/#channels

If you called up Dish and asked them to subscribe to the "free view" PACKAGE, would they be able to help you? Can you subscribe to that PACKAGE via the website??
Since we're talking details...FREE VIEW is not a "PACKAGE".
