If we carry them in HD, and you have the right equipment, you will get locals in HD
If locals are available in HD (and you have the right Dish) yes
also any freeview channels that have a HD counterpart you will get (like right now I have Style HD...not my cup of tea but whatever)
also if you add an add on item like Outdoor Sports or Heartland Package, same rules apply as freeview channels. Here is a thread when we found that out
http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/263099-mavtv-also-$3-month-la-carte.html
My Aunt on my third DISH account, has the Welcome pack + Encore pack (for the Western movie channel)and she pays $21.19 with tax included. She mostly watches network tv and she gets her locals in hd so she is happy. Back in 2009 I got her a 211k and added dvr software so she could dvr her soap ( Young and the Restless)every day. She also doesn't like paying more than $20.00 a month, so I eat the $1.19 cost and pay it for her.
A good example of the weelcome pack
, I alomost see the welcome pack as a "advanced OTA" good for those who want there locals and a few extra channels as well.thats one of the reasons I got the Welcome Pack. To get the locals and then use my OTA to basically duplicate what a DTVPal DVR does. (record 2 OTA shows at once...except its one sat and one OTA)
The extra channels are a bonus...and freeviews make it better

BB is no longer available to WP subs so yes you would be grandfathered in. You might have to PM one of the Dish (DIRT) folks to have them remove programming.
That is the downside of grandfathered packages...dont change anything

Interesting. I have Blockbuster Movie Pass and the Welcome Package and am getting NHL Network on 157. I'm not currently a Center Ice subscriber (was last year) as I dropped it in favor of League Pass. I can't tell you how long it's been there as I usually only display a favorites list (all subscribed channels minus shopping) that includes whatever is listed as Free Preview on 102 - which NHL isn't until tomorrow. Maybe a change was made and it was put in BBMP? It isn't listed / advertised if it was.

I wouldn't worry so much about the upgrade process. If you ask around you may be friends with someone that can recommend an individual who can install something. I know someone who is very good (and busy) so they are coming out today to check line of sight for 129. I would go ahead and upgrade - there are a lot of things I can't get because they are in HD only and I'm afraid they might add something I really want (WWE Network) in HD only. I didn't think much of it until seeing an NFL game in HD at my parents home and the difference was obvious.
On December 7th, DISH Network changed the eligiblity for the BBMP and it is no longer available to account with the Welcome Pack. I do apologize that it is no longer available on your account.
here in Minneapolis Comcrap has that. It costs more and has less channels
15.50 or something like that and it includes locals, CNN, TBS, WGN, C-Span, C-Span2, a few shopping channels and the public access stuff
If you have a digital TV you get the nets in HD, the subchannels in QAM and WGN HD so you dont need a box. Some of the lifeline stuff is up in the 100's or 200's so a box is needed
Dish still has the better bargain on that....they offer freeviews that you get. Lifeline you dont
Our local cable company has something similar that my Dad was thinking of moving down to. After I told him about the Welcome Package he liked it more. The DISH package has more channels than the local cable company as well. I love the package honestly and if WWE Network were to be offered a la carte or as part of a package I can actually add to the WP it will suffice just fine for me.
