I think that really is the bottom line, they have introduced more choice to enable saving money each month but get very close to or even as much of the programming you want. If you need to add four five etc add ons it may not be the best choice.
It should attract some people it's kind of almost most like a Sling Package Programming except your not streaming everything..
RSN's are in an add on package unless I am not understand what you mean. I do think it could be a great add on to be able to get the Multi Sports Package I don't know if DISH is able to to that or not.
It's thoroughly retarded. There's NO WAY for ANYONE to get all the MTV channels, because the Flex pack doesn't include MTV itself, MTV Live, or according to Dish's website now, MTV Classic. And speaking of music, it's offensive for Flex customers to have to pay for a sports pack to get AXS, the only source for uninterrupted and uncensored concerts.
Would someone in Dish HQ's jurisdiction please go down to the courthouse and file a petition for an involuntary mental health evaluation for whoever thought this one up?
You forgot you dvr fees and additional room fee with your dish pack

That includes the Joey. I also thought it didn't include the DVR fee but looking at the DISH site that is the cost with one Hopper and one Joey. If you can find they are adding a DVR fee that would of course increase the prices. I honestly would not be surprised if the DVR isn't showing up but I can only go by the final cost at check-out.
Your order summary
Due Monthly $56.99 + taxes
Monthly Charges$56.99
Flex Pack w/ DVR (includes eAutoPay savings) $39.99
Hopper (Primary Receiver) $0.00
Joey (Secondary Receiver) $7.00
Locals Pack $10.00
Monthly Savings$0.00
Due Today $0.00
One Time Charges$0.00
There is not temporary discount, this is the two year price guarantee.(My words not theirs)
So you want to use Promo prices now?
Sorry the facts are laid out .
Flex pack with just 2 add on $10 packs cost more than the Select pack with a Hopper and Joey for existing customers.
Sorry $5 more for Select but yet includes most all of those Dish channels and far more.

I get it now, you won't admit what is a fact so you make up things. There is no such thing as a Select pack with a Hopper and joey.
As for Promo pricing, this is very different, this is apparently available to all customers not just new ones that changes everything. I'm agreeing with you I would want to make sure the total I show at check out is correct, but if so you are way off base saying this isn't a savings, yes even with two add ons. Every time you mention more channels is every time you demonstrate you really don't understand, more channels means nothing if you don't want them.
I am showing you they are saying 00.0 as first receiver and not showing a DVR fee at the final cost as check out.. Again, I too am skeptical but that's what is showing.
I will dig deeper and see if I can get a final answer.....
Who in the world would agree to a $20 month etf for 24 months to "save" $5? And if you are really price conscious you will flip to the DTV or cable and get the intro offer. I got a letter in the mail that will pay my $200 Visa Card to switch.
DIRT tells me there should be a DVR fee showing. So two rooms with Flex and locals (or your choice any one add on) Hopper 3 and Joey would be $62/67. Without locals for those that don't want or need it $52/57. Still below the $81 for the Directv comparison made if you don't want or need those channels and it's 16 tuners. As has been said from the begining the more you need to do add ons the more the Top packages may be better.
And it is also true even if you add another add on or two if you only do that for a specific time period, as I mentioned I only need NESN a few months, then you are saving and getting what you want.

Yeah, 1 add on.
It's the customers that pick 2 or even 3 more than its no longer a value.

After how many posts between us - lol - We finally pretty much agree. I think two can still be saving money, and if you only need an add on for specific time period you can be saving. But generally yes.... And it's that choice that DISH is giving. If the Flex Pack didn't offer so many wanted channels it would be less of a deal. But as is for anyone really trying to cut back but does not want only online streaming this is a very good first start.
I do agree with you.
Where I actually really think the pack is a good idea , is for someone who Likes premium movie channels.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
Yeah, it helps keep the bill down while letting you use the savings on Premiums.
My bill :
Flex Pack = $34.99
National Sports = $10
Locals = $10
Hopper 3 = $12
Total :$66.99
Then I have Premiums:
HBO = $10
Max = $5
SHO = $7.50
Movie Pack = $5
Total : $27.50 for all premiums except Encore. Netflix & Amazon cover that very well, Starz is covered via VOD with Movie Pack.
Grand total: $94.52 after adding in the $0.03 FCC fee
Pretty cheap for all I'm getting I think.
Compared to D* it is a steal! At non-promo the bill with them would be $81+Premiums and their Premium prices are higher in most cases, and of course, the RSN fee.
