Re: Not likely

Now taking what you just told me..

If I add $34+$39+$35=$108 is what I get that way.

Now if you upgraded as you say to the $59 pkg

$59+$39+$35=$133, so how you get $110 out of that is beyond me.

Now I am not sure on the High Def. pkg but if I have to use my DirecTv as an example (theirs is like $20) I would pay the $61 I currently pay plus $20 for the addon HDTV pkg.

So mine would be a $61+20=$81 for my current TV channels plus the DirecTv pkg. I don't think you can even order DirecTv's just HDTV pkg not without having another package.

I will have to ask them and find out.

Exactly, you have hit on my problem, they are advertising all 3 packages for $79, but charging me $108 as you illustrated. I'm not trying to be unreasonable, I know that what I have will be more that the base package. My problem is that they are charging me $4 less for 2 of the 3 services that they advertised, and continue to advertise at $79 for all 3.

Ok, I think you might have actually answered your own question. Now with what you are telling me, and keep in mind this is just what I am going on.

Now here's what I crunched(keep in mind basic numbers here):
$35=DSL
$34=phone
$59=Upgraded tv pkg
$20=HDTV add on
---------------------
$148= Total

Now if you did all of that I get $148 right there. I didn't add any taxes to this, so this would be about in the ballpark estimate. Now keep in mind this also is including the upgrades you made.

$35=DSL
$34=phone
$34=tv pkg offered
$20=HDTV add on
---------------------
$123=Total

Here is the estimated price I get if I just went with the HDTV upgrade only, and stuck with the basic pkg. I can't say for certain if you can just pay for say Discovery HD and not have to purchase Discovery. I don't know if that works or not or if you have to pay for the channel. That would be something dish would have to answer. I can't say I have tried it as I have no HDTV's in my house. I have a 25 inch sanyo that works just fine for TV. However, some people enjoy their TV more than say me. I think what happend was you went outside the pkg with the upgrades. I am willing to bet that's what happend. I don't think dish would sell a $59 for $34, If DirecTV don't I don't expect dish to.
