I got one theory
E* knows you want these channels ,so He's making you pay for them.
Thats Business.
Same reason channels in the top 250 pack aren't in the top 100 pack.
It's underhanded, slimy, used-car-salesmanesque business.
They used the Turbo packages to win over people that wanted HD and were willing to go with Dish to get it.
Then they raised our rates and stopped giving us the rest of the HD channels.
Yea, it's business. But it's bad business. They're not winning a long-term customer by doing that in this house.
