New Add-On Packages

[cruiser83]

I am super happy to hear about this package. I have got to bring my bill down but I was having a tough time deciding between Welcome and Smart packs for the channels we like but the Flex pack fits the bill perfectly! The kids will lose out, but they can just stick to Netflix. I am going to call this weekend and see if I can make the switch.

What channels are in the add on packages does anyone know?...Never mind, I found the first post, forgot they were on there

Well now everyone knows how to get it . Go through cancellations and ask for the flex pack department.

Are you receiving the new music channels in the 360s?

I talked to two separate CSR, NBCSN is not included in the flex Pak, NBCSN, FXX and a few other channels is on free preview for this month

Not sure that is even correct, FXX doesn't show as being in preview.... We really need to wait for an official list to know for sure. Can DIRT give us one?

If anyone has the Flex pack and didn't spring for the $10 locals add-on... Do you still get any guide info on your OTA channels?

Go to 362. I swapped to Flex Pack and a couple of the add ons to try it and I show the MTV channels on my 211K and my Hopper 3 system.

I got the locals pack. But I know that my old 211k that is still hooked up to the sat dish, but not authorized gets all ota guide information for the channels that DISH carries. Something changed recently that allows it to see the guide information whether it is subscribed or not.

Speaking of free previews, I have (2) channel 103, one being free previews (indicated as SD) and one as the Hopper channel. Problem is, I can't view the previews channel. When I select it, it takes me to the Hopper channel.

Just got home a bit ago and wrote down what channels show up for the base "Flex" package. Note the ones I crossed out - they showed in the guide but after a reboot, they went away. When I spoke to the two, he indicated I'd only get CNN so when I saw Fox News, I suspected something was wrong.

Here is a lineup update I put together with information:

The new Flex Package is now available on Dish for $34.99 a month. Add-on packages are available--Locals Pack, Regional Action Pack, National Action Pack, Kids Pack, and News Pack are $10 each. Heartland and Variety Pack are $6 each, Outdoor Pack is $4. You have to call customer service to the Loyalty department (866-974-0769) to request this package. They aren't posting it anywhere yet and no lineup is available online.

Note: No Fox Sports RSN is available at this time. Multisport w/Redzone still requires Top 120 Plus or higher to add, hopefully this changes in the future.

Here is the lineup based on what I am receiving (excluding Freeview channels):

I certainly may have missed channels as I quickly scanned visually

Hallmark is listed under General and Heartland. This may be true, but I wanted to point it out

 

[fishman316]

I guess dish will use these packs as a way to lower your bill when you threaten to cancel now instead of being so generous with the monthly credits like they are now

 

[fishman316]

Wonder if they will offer half off the add on packs if you try to cancel them online like they do now with heartland,movie pack,premiums

 

[KG4KBU]

Is weathernation included in the pack ?

I would say not likely.

FXX & NBCSN is running free for now, but it is not listed on channel 103, maybe it has to do with the local dispute, i can see them on all of my low tier account

 

[Tampa8]

LOL now my head is spinning from the different lists..... I sent a message to DIRT earlier but no reply to get an actual line up. I didn't go down the DISH phone CSR route....
