much to my displeasure BET JAZZ has not had ANY JAZZ during the times I tried to watch in additiion to no HD.

Does any one know why there is such a wild differance in sound levels, not only between channels but during the evening on the same channel. My sister says DIRECT TV is the same way. I don’t remeber this problem occurring the past.

I have the absolute package too.

This was just a terrific surprise and I was ecstatic to now get Comedy Channel HD as I wasn’t expecting to get any more HD channels and this is the one I still really miss.

Dish AbsoluteHD is by far the best package around.

I was glad to see BET JAZZ. I had DISH turned back on yesterdaY. i spent most of the evening editing the favorites list, tho.

I thought the cost had gone up since I turned it off; but I am not sure about it. You are correct in saying they will not keep adding the HD without a cost adjustment some time.

Actually you are the lucky one, the Turbo HD only customers are getting screwed. The Turbo only customers are NOT getting access to the HD versions of FNC, NICK ,MTV,VH1 or BET. Only subscribers to the Classic + HD packages and the absolute subscribers are getting them. Some screwed up decision by DISH.

Turbo customers had the biggest rate increase in February but have only been given access to 3 of the new HD channels, Comedy, Spike and CMT.
