But it's Platinum, is it not? He shouldn't have to pay extra for a channel that isn't even really HD!
Agreed, but that's the way Dish packages it, and they can package it any way they want. The best thing, if Dish won't budge from this, is to vote with your wallets. Personally, I just don't like that it is promoted by Dish as HD when, in fact, is in SD.
WRONG. It's Logo's HD channel. That's their marketing. Dish just passes it along, like their Cable carriers.
