Base Package Pricing
There are lots of changes happening with the DISH Network base packages! From name changes that more accurately reflect the included value to price changes in the upper tiers, these are all changes that you will want to ensure that you are familiar with. Even with the price increases, DISH Network continues to provide customers with clear and unmatched savings over cable and other satellite providers. DISH Network is also still the largest pay-TV provider of Hispanic programming in the U.S.!
Entertainment Package Name Changes - Effective February 1, 2007 - Since DISH Network's basic packages have 40-80 more channels than what is currently indicated in their names, they are introducing new package names to more accurately reflect the number of channels in each.
America's Top 60 will now be America's Top 100
America's Top 120 will now be America's Top 200
America's Top 180 will now be America's Top 250
America's Everything Pak will still be America's Everything Pak
Entertainment Package Pricing - Effective February 1, 2007 - For years, DISH Network has been the leader in providing the lowest priced all digital programming in America while offering a variety of entertainment choices that allow subscribers to pick the package that best meets their needs. Even though DISH Network has done their best to keep costs down, they have announced that they must raise prices to offset the costs of increased television programming fees.
As a result:
AT200 and AT250 will increase by $3.00 per month.
America's Everything Pak will increase by $5.00 per month. All of these programming packages are still a fantastic value when you consider the number of channels included. For example, America's Top 250 offers over 250 channels for just over twenty cents each!
America's Top 100 Pricing Unchanged - DISH Network guaranteed last year that AT60 (will be AT100), AT60+ (will be AT100+) and DishFAMILY (which is not changing its name) will NOT increase in price. Their prices are guaranteed until February 1, 2008!

Great Wall TV Package Pricing Unchanged - DISH Network does not presently plan an increase in the price of the Chinese-language entertainment package, Great Wall TV.

DISH Network is simplifying their DishHD packaging. Rather than separate DishHD packages that correspond to the America's Top Programming packages, DISH Network has repositioned DishHD as a package add-on for those customers who wish to purchase it.
DishHD Package Pricing - DishHD will be a $20.00/month addition to any of the America's Top Programming packages, or to America's Everything Pak.
This means:
DishHD Bronze, DishHD Silver, DishHD Gold, and DishHD Platinum packages will no longer be available
