Are you still recieving the Platinum Package channels? Or did they go bye bye?

 

[EscapeVelocity]

More specifically, do you still get Smithsonian, Universal, MGM, and HDNet Movies?

 

[EscapeVelocity]

Looks like NHL Channel gone bye bye, replaced by Encore HD in the Platinum Add on Pack.

 

[EscapeVelocity]

Here is the new packages officially from Dish Network.

Looks like the Big Ten Network didnt make the cut.

Do you now recieve EncoreHD which is included in the new Platinum Package?

 

[kb7oeb]

I have HD Absolute+ HBO,Cinemax,Sho and can watch the new HBOs, the new cinemax, green, life time , LMN but I don't even see the new starz or encore under All Channels

 

[EscapeVelocity]

Ooops. Looks like they added NHL Channel back in to Turbo Platinum, and removed EncoreHD.

However EncoreHD remains in the Turbo Gold package.

Must have been a typo.

 

[James Long]

Encore HD should return to Gold. Even though it isn't the west feed that matches the AT250 program offering, it is listed on the website you linked in another thread as being in Gold.

I just switched to Absolute last week. I seem to have all i had before and the new ones including the ones you listed above. Don't see Encore though.

I sub to absolute and Cinemax and Starz.. I have all the new channels including Encore. But I wonder If I didn't have Starz would Encore still be available? and also it looks like i have all the sports channels.

In Central NJ, HD Absolute
got new HD channels and
ActionMax HD. Do not remember Encore HD. Will have to check tonight.
No channel 501 yet, but I am sure it is coming.

 

[Stewart Vernon]

I have DishHD Absolute + HBO/SHO/Starz/MAX so I got everything new, as expected, and also did not lose anything, also as expected.

Don't have the RSNs, but that too was as expected.

I obviously can't verify if EncoreHD is part of my Starz subscription or the Absolute package since I have both.

So much for all the freaking-out-panicking folks from the past week

I got all but EncoreHD. Don't subscribe to Starz though.

 

[smackman]

I have Dish Absolute with 1 cent cinemax.
I seem to have whats offered in Turbo Gold with platinum EXCEPT FOR ENCORE. NO ENCORE.
I am comparing to this:

Of course No RSN but I already knew this.

 

[Mike Kennedy]

I keep seeing this 1 penny Cinemax - seems like a GOOD deal. I have Absolute and HBO; do i qualify and how do I get?

You must go paperless and do auto pay.
If they are still offering it thats the "skinny" of it.
Call Dish and ask if 1 cent cinemax is still available.

I checked my setup this morning. Still have all the channels I previously had (including the "platinum" HD channels like MGM HD, HD Net Movies, etc.).

The new ones I see include all of the HBO channels in HD, the Lifetime channels, Planet Green. Didn't look for CBS College Sports but I assume it's there.

HBO Signature HD was playing There's Something About Mary this morning. The scene with Matt Dillon spying on Cameron Diaz but getting a glimpse of Magda's old, sagging breasts was revolting! "AIIEEE! First ***** in the armor, Ted!"

 

[EscapeVelocity]

So what is the final say on the EncoreHD? Are Absolute HD only customers recieving it, or do you have to have AT250 or Starz Packages?

 

[Bobby H]

I think you have to have the Starz premium package added to HD Absolute to get the Encore channels.

Encore here without Starz.
