Well, according to Dish Network's own webpage, you won't be able to get TurboHD as a current customer.
DISH Network -- Tools
I don't get why they would not sell TurboHD to an existing customer.
*shrug*
What are they going to do for existing customers that want to get HD? Make them stay with their standard def and pay $10 or $20 extra for HD access? I can't imagine them saying "you can't have HD" to current customers.

for existing customer :
Iknow this is a little bit confussing
Starting August 1st you can be Turbo-Charged and get the benefits and features of TurboHD for as little as $10 a month with our BronzeHD, SilverHD or GoldHD packages. If you are upgrading to HD or already have an HD package you can get more than 100 HD channels but depending on the package that you have like if you do have the AEP(americas everything package) you will be eligible to enjoy this 100 HD channels
Existing HD customers will be automatically Turbo-Charged on August 1st, they will not have to do anything to get the best HD service available,
stomers get the same great HD channels if they get our new or existing HD packages
All DISH HD customers can get over 100 HD channels starting on 8/1
Customers will get the exact same number of HD channels if they have TurboHD or an AT package with an add-on HD package
- For example TurboHD Silver and America's Top 200 with SilverHD have the same amount of HD channels
