Turbo HD + standard def receiver?

Andy74 said:

I'm currently subscribing to GOLD HD (AEP). I have 3 rreceivers (722, 510, 311). If I downgrade to one of the Turbo packagages, will the SD receivers get any SD programming? Currently I'm paying too much for everything and need to downgrade my service.

The Turbo packages are only for new customers.

At least until February 2009.

I'm sure the details on moving to all HD programing from a previous SD+HD package will be provided before Feb 2009, or during the launch of that offering.

I'll tell you what though, it'll probably work fine. Here's why:

I've the TurboHD Gold package as a brand new subscriber. Technically it's an HD Only package, but for some reason the channels have both the SD and HD channels listed in the Guide. I can select "ALL HD" and hide the SD channels. In addition, some of my locals are still not yet HD and those are still provided.

Outside of the locals though, the only SD are the channel duplicates of the HD channels, and not every one either.

I have an all HD package and don't get all the available SD counterparts. Some don't even have an SD counterpart.

The TurboHD packages require all ViP receivers. You should not be able to have or add a 301 to your account with a TurboHD package.

You will be able to add a ViP-211 or other ViP receiver.
