My fault -- you're right about DA. Only Gold and Silver have the little superscript 1 that says they're going away.
Re: AMC, I was following up Bob2011's comment about the Welcome Pack increase by asking if AMC was coming back to the Welcome Pack package. It's not listed as part of the Welcome Pack now, but I'd be more inclined to keep Dish around after the NFL season if that $20 did include Mad Men & friends. But since I'm prepay, I guess it's not such a big deal to drop service until next August and pay $20 (or whatever) to start back up. I'll miss my 211k monthly-fee-free DVR, however.
I wonder if the threatened cancellations and swaps to lower end packages here are representative of the Dish market at large at all. I'd have to guess no, or they wouldn't be jacking up the price. Guess it makes sense that the board's users are more comfortable with TV service alternatives.
Thanks for the info, Mojo.
AMC was supposed to end on 11/21 yet I still have it. Also HDNET Movies is no longer listed in the Welcome Pack yet I still have it.
My gut feel is that AMC will officially be back and HDNET will be gone the day of the price increase.
