I have a pre-prepared text that I am going to paste into the chat: #1: cancel this.... #2: add this.... #3: keep these line items on my bill unchanged 
Two questions:
Will we get the public interest channels with this package? I never really watch them but there are some things that interest me and whn I cut back 100+ channels tomorrow I will probably be more apt to explore these channels.
What will my bill be with this package and locals and two 622's?
$34.99
$6.98 - DVR fee
$6.98 - DVR fee
-------
48.95 is my calcuation. What am I missing?
My bill right now is $128 a month for AEP (plus I think I still have the DHPP which I will finally be cancelling).

I only need four more channels to jump on this deal. SciFi HD, FXHD, SpeedHD, USAHD. Come on Charlie!!!!!! I'd drop the sd in a second, those are the only sd channels I watch.
I am leaning heavily toward this pack. I do get my locals in hd and will wait to see if I will get PBS, CW in sd as well with this pack. I will know tomorrow.
Im all over it if they add a couple of more. Ill do whatever it takes to get OTA HD locals for a $45 package 
I have the same set up, so I think you're missing the $6 additional lease fee for your 2nd 622, and I believe the DVR fees will still be $5.98(x2), so I come up with $52.95...not to mention your $128 is going up to $133+tax in Feb. You may want to account for HBO, Sho, Max and Starz, if you're planning on keeping them...could be $52.95 +$40, if you keep all 4. Even if you did keep all 4, would be around $100, instead of $140.

I know i read somewhere that we'll get all our locals if we subscribe to locals, even the SD ones....or possibly only SD version for the ones that have a HD version.
I didn't think that we could keep the premiums but that is a moot point as I plan on cancelling them for a while anyway. I have about 120 HD movies on my two external drives to watch and then maybe I will add them again. I am hoping to go Blu-Ray with the money I save (our local stores rent Blu-Ray and HD-DVD now) to supplement my apparently dying $100 HD-DVD player.
$130 a month for tv is just plain ridiculous....
I forgot about the lease fee, thanks.
Lots of hopes, but no facts, beyond the week ending December 08 Uplink Activity Report.

Where did you get that, the impression I get is that $29.99 is all you pay unless you add options like locals and or Premiums, no HD Enabling fee for this pack, this time around.
Maybe the first one to get this pack will post details on here.

First Impression of the new package
The call on the phone was quite painless, here is how my price package came out
HD only programming w/locals
34.99
Lease Receiver Fee
7.00
DHPP
6.00
DVR Fee
6.00
Total
53.99
It was immediatly changed on the programming guide. It is better that what I was hoping because you get the standard def version of every channel. I know that was a concern of people. You still get the 9000 range and the map downs. So whatever was happening in the 5000 range doesnt have to do with this package as of yet anyways. It seems pretty slick, I am glad I did it.
The only bad thing is, I was hoping they would have just taken all the other info crap channels out of there, but no can do. They even threw in QVC for free.

Thanks for being a very early adopter
Is the SD version of HGTV included? I ask because they have different programming.
Did they charge you a $5 "down grade" fee.
Thanks in advance - Talon Dancer
