Well.
Honestly there is a lot more value in Directv Select pack for $50 that has just about all the same channels as all those mini packs put together.
And if you need ESPN well that's Entertainment pack that's still only $60 ,And they don't have RSN fees in those packs either.
Just saying it's not that great of a deal.
I know all you guys still think it's great, but 2 Mini packs and I'm already at $54.
That already off set the cost of Directvs 1st room fee. And I'll have what looks to me like a better line up.
Com'on Dish this is nothing to Bragg about.
It's just another rebranding package tactic where Dish still picks your channels.

I'm curious as to why I can't see any of the new channels (mtv suite, BBC news) in the guide set to all channels. I also expect to get all of the new channels as part of AEP without adding a new pack since I seem to already get 99% of the channels in the flex and add-on packs.

That's just something they do now with channels you don't get, I don't have flex so they do not show up on my guide under all channels either, just like if you don't have MLB extra innings you can't even see the channels the games are on.
No, I like paying $35 for the channels I actually watch instead of much more to have a list of a bunch of channels I never watch. The only reason to do that is to try to impress friends and neighbors with your 'big channel count'.

Really liking this Flex Pack. Since I travel around so much, I'm rarely at home, so I downgraded from everything to the 120+ pack with HBO. Still had channels I didn't need, but going to Flex which still has the channels I want and just the locals pack, saving $25 a month!
All the channels show both an HD & SD icon.

Then head on over to DirecTV, I won't mind.Well.

I'll pay less to get the channels I want and not the ones I don't want, and see them using the single best DVR on the market today.

What is funny is Half you guys with the Flex pack I bet will have several of those add-on packs in the weeks to come.No, I like paying $35 for the channels I actually watch instead of much more to have a list of a bunch of channels I never watch.

Totally defeating the value yous claim is so great.
And that's exactly what Charlie wants you to do.

I would head on over to Directv if I'm looking at Under $50 packs, because they look like they have way more popular channels that includes locals and HD then what $50 will get me with Dish.
What channels do you watch?
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
Wife and Kids like the Hallmark channels, I have to have Velocity.
Locals are a must.
Right there is $60.
But Kids like Teen Nick, that's not an option.
What would have been the Flex pack everyone was looking for.
Would have been packages bundled by their owners like they used to have with C-band.
Discovery pack, Viacom pack....
This is just like any other packages right now.
The channels are predetermined by Dish, Put in packages by Dish.
And if you want to save money Dish again decides what you can have.
Really doesn't seem that Flexible.
I could do all this before.

You are incorrect in many respects. The package makeups are as much because of contract terms as are just carrying a station at all. So it isn't only Dish, it is the content providers also. Frankly I predict some pushback from the content providers on this, or at least some complaining from them.
And I remember all those C-band packages, I also remember having to diddle the dish position to get the various packages. I don't ever want to go back to that again. Actually I remember when you could pretty nearly pick the individual channels you wanted.

You can contact one my DIRT members for more details, as there are some restrictions, and requirements to go over.
Well as much disputing that goes on , I'm not impressed with the A la Carte options that come of it.
And you honestly think if bundling packs by the owners would mean you would have to move your dish?
Um No.

You are very good at misunderstanding. the moving of the dish was from C-Band days, or have you forgotten that?

The DTV is a great deal for the first year. Then it practically doubles in price the second year.Well.

I know, that kinda stinks. Why do you want it? In my case my wife is a Nascar Addict and about half of the remaining races this year are on NBCSN. At the end of October I will switch from the top 200 to flex plus locals and variety and save about $30 a month. I will not miss any of the other stations. I guess come next Feb I will add the action pac and then next august go back to the top 200 for 3 months
