I got 36. If this package has the new lifetimes, CBS, and green channel, that's still only 40 channels including the PPV's. Anyone know what the 55 HD channels are?

according to the website:

Gold Tier - Dish Network Turbo HD
40 National HD Channels + 6 Pay-Per-View, Up to 14 HD VOD,and applicable HD Regional Sports Networks

so I believe the 15 is made up in PPV and HD VOD, your list is only counting PPV and HD VOD as 1 channel
It's been made very clear in the thread Dish channel counts. Dish, DirecTV and the cable companies either use "fuzzy math" or count in dog years.
