I wonder if I'll just get the 6 PPV coupons that I will never use because I am in the middle of the 3 month free Starz and Platinum offer and I also have Encore due to Top 250? My online account lists it as "Starz 3 months free" and "Platinum 3 months free" instead of it being subscribed to normally, so I wonder if that might help me keep it for a year? *wishing*
Not sure what to do?

Good thought. I'll have to ask them. I've been with them for 9-10 years and a spotless autopay record with them. It better not be a problem.
I'm a "whale" (AEP) sub too, and have been for nearly a decade, but I'd drop Starz to get it free for a year before I'd drop the Platinum package.
Exactly, I don't want 6 PPV coupons that I wouldn't use because they're not for HD use...I'd end up not using them and thus get nothing. So, if I drop Starz around the 28th of the month, I wonder if I'd get it back (free for a year) on 2/1, or do you have to have not had it for 30-days or some garbage like that?
"Since 2005, Starz has begun airing an increasing amount of original programming to compete with rivals Showtime and HBO.
Starz has announced it will double its original programming in 2011."
From wikipedia.
Great, just what I need more original programming which usually sucks!

HD Usage ?
Where did you get the idea that they are NOT for HD usage? I have two sitting on my account and they are good for up to $6.99 each.

I'm also in the middle of a 3 months free Starz & Platinum promo and wondering if I need to cancel Starz before Feb. 1st to avoid getting stuck with the encore package.
Sorry I don't understand. If you drop Platinum, then Feb 1 they add it back for one year free. Value $120 for one year.
Drop Starz keep the other three movie packages, get Starz free for one year. Value $24 for one year.
To me AEP + Platinum subs would be treated about well as other subs would be.
Obviously Dish customers that have everything including HD Platinum are getting screwed the most (me ). HD Platinum free for a year = $120 where 6 PPV coupons is worth a paltry $41 and change at the max. I don't like playing games with dropping packages (HD Platinum in my case) and then hoping that Dish will add it back on 2/1. One should not have to play games- period. Either give AEP + HD Platinum customers the Platinum for free or provide 18 PPV certificates! My preference is the Platinum for free. Get your head out of your ... dish!

and when someone opened a new thread about not being able to get Starz and got Cinemax free for a month he posted a link to MY post about what my dad went through that day (same thing).
good lord the world is coming to an end...either that or I should haul my butt to the gas station and play the lottery

No need to be upset about it, reread Scotts posts, you can just keep AEP and drop HD Platinum:

Great! for us. The new Torchwood might be on Starz and we were going to be disappointed since we don't have it now. Who are "Most Customers" and how do you get it?
Question here. So if i downgraded my package, i currently have the 250 thinking of going to the 200 or dish latino max. Would i still get the starz channels next month?
You damn right... they need to bring these channels back and that includes bringing us ESPNU in HD!!! $5/more a month for nothing new that I even watch is kinda pissing me off...but I'll accept that I'll be paying less for the next year since I won't have to pay for Starz during that time. After that year is gone I'll have to drop something and most likely it will be starz since I can stream everything on it through Netflix.
A few questions that have been asked but haven't been answered ,so I thought I would throw it out there again:
1- Will customers who are enjoying the 3 months free Starz still be elligible for 12 months free of Starz, or will they automatically get Encore pack?
2- Do Flex customers (who get no programming discounts and who also locked in for 24 months to get HD for Life) qualify for 12-months free of Starz?

I have no idea how this is going to work. It sounds like DISH will make the decision on what channels you get on an individual basis.
