My biggest objection (and hopefully we'll see it change) is I wish I could add the Multi-Sport package.
you can use really any Dish receiver out there since the only HD channels you can get with this package are your locals (if available)
110/119 would work the easiest with any receiver so a D500 and say a 301/311 would get ya going. If you wanted a DVR you could do a 625 (dual tuner) as example.

I can confirm this. Yes. Any freeview channels that are available in HD will be in HD on this package as well.I've heard that any freeview channels will be in HD too if that channel is offered in HD. Can anyone confirm this?

I am sorry that you were given incorrect information regarding this promotion. If you would like to send a PM to me with your account# or phone# I will take a look at your account and assist you with the programming change.I just called Dish to order the Welcome Pack. I was forwarded to a "specialist" who they told me that the Welcome Pack was discontinued about "eight or nine months ago" and they could not even offer it to me because it's no longer in the system. They said my cheapest option is the Top 120 package, which is $39.99 per month without an agreement.
You're saying that the Welcome Pack has been reinstated, so is there something else I need to know or do in order to get this package?
