Weird screen when adding Starz at promo price

[Darrell S]

When adding Starz at the $5 promo price, I got the normal screen that tells the regular price when the promo ends. The strange part of this screen says I will pay 5 for something called Dish Gallery Scapes when my promo is over. WTH is this? Are they making the Dishscapes channel a premium?

I think we finally have an answer to this. A new app was just added today called Gallery. (The full name in the logo is "Gallery by Dish Scapes.") There is no word yet on whether there is any extra cost for this app. However, when I open the app on my Hopper Duo, I do not see any titles available.

Update: Dish just added a channel 198 for the Gallery app in the guide. The guide info on the right side of the screen says:
"New! Enjoy the Free Preview all September. Gallery by Dish Scapes has a variety of nature scenes, fine art & original DISH scapes. Regularly $5/month."

So, it sounds like if you take the Starz 5 buck promo (and maybe the Showtime and Movie Pack 5 buck promos as well), you get Dish Scapes thrown in as a bonus. If so, a great marketing ploy to bump up Dish Scapes subs.

If they could get it working at all on the Wally, that would bump up Dish Scapes (Gallery) subs even more.
