I watch movies on HBO fairly frequently, haven't used HBO Go much since I can only use it on my laptop or cell phone (my desktop PC is old and the processor is slow enough that the vid is a little "jerky"). Seems like with just my wife and I in the house, our viewing habits are varied enough that Premier seems to be our best fit.bigglebowski said:
Netflix is a different animal for me. I used it's DVD service and the local library to backfill my "library" with titles I'd bought on VHS and couldn't transfer to dvd because the tape had degraded badly. I'm down to 5 or 6 dvd's in my queue and most of those haven't been released yet. On the other hand....I've got about 150 titles in my streaming queue, MANY of those are TV series. prior to my retirement a few years ago I worked many years on night shift and so missed "everything". :lol:bigglebowski said:
The ONLY really good thing about it, is if you are a grandfathered Premier sub, which included (at NO extra charge) the DVR service as part of the package.CarolinaGuy79 said:
I agree with BAHitman, it depends on your viewing habits. If you are a movie buff and like sports then upgrade to Premier. Throw in HD Extra Pack and you'll have it all minus the Sports packages.CarolinaGuy79 said:
What channel?Carolina said:I used to think that the Premier Package had all channels included. I'm not talking about special things like MLBEI, ST, etc. But I wanted to record a movie on a channel, but I got a message that the channel was not part of the Package I had. I called D* about this and they said the only way I could get that channel was to downgrade my package????? I said, of course, I didn't want to lose a bunch of channels to get one channel. I didn't think to mention that I didn't think D* wanted me to downgrade my package because they would lose money. But I did think to mention that I thought the Premier Package being the top Package should already have that channel! The CR said she would pass along my request to have the channel to the programming department. But I still don't understand why the channel isn't there already
It was probably a channel in the HD Extra package. There are no channels in the lower tiers that are not in Premier. If it was a movie it could have been on Hallmark Movie HD, MGM HD, HDNet Movies, Sony Movie Channel or Universal HD."Carolina" said:I used to think that the Premier Package had all channels included.

No I have the HD Extra Package. Another case of a CR that hadn't a clue what she was trying to talk about. The movie was on a DNS channel. And, of course, since I have my local channels I don't have DNS channels. I didn't even know that I had this channel :lol: In the Search Guide the movie was only listed on the DNS channel so that is why it wouldn't record.bobvick1983 said:
