NO HD PACKAGE Without basic package

I just talked to 2 csr today.I currently have the old hd package and the VOOM channels.When I asked to upgrade to the 211 they said that I would have to go with the lowest package which is the Hd bronze package.This package includes AT60 and all of the HD channels.The thing is I dont watch anything but the Hd package.I dont want or need the AT 60 package.Its a real shame that you cannot subscribe only to the HD programning. :mad: :mad: :confused: :eek:We all need to voice our opinions on this matter.I dont mind paying a small access fee to receive these channels but this is ridiculous...

I was on the Dish website and they show a standalone HD pack for 29.99 that has all the new hidef channels and some SD channels, I wonder what this is?

Yes if you are doing a LEASE upgrade to the 211 then you have to have the AT60. If you BUY the 211 then you can just do the HD package.
