Whie the Dish folks are Celebrating...

If you go to the DISH web site. Total up the new HD Platinum package w/ HBO, Max, Showtime and Starz, it comes to $155.00 for your programing. Go to DirecTV select their Total Choice Premier (using new price of $99.99) and their HD package (new price of $9.99) it comes to about $110.00 a month.

That is an extra $45.00 a month for a few more HD channels. Am I right or did I figure something wrong?

You did it all wrong, The platinum package already has all movie channels in it, you're adding $$'s that don't apply by adding HBO/Max/Show/Starz all over again.

It is a bug on their web site. It shouldn't allow you to add those services to your package, if it is already in the package.

so Dish is actually cheaper 104.99 for E* and 109.98 for D*. Also E* will increase there spot beam capacity after E10 is moved to 110 and either E6 or E8 is freed up to be move to a new location. Maybe 129 to provide more capacity there.
