New dish network packages- flex package for 34.99 per month.

-6 Deal Score
22,944 Views
Yesterday I switched to the new Flex Package for $34.99 a month. Add-on packages are available--Locals Pack, Regional Action Pack, National Action Pack, Kids Pack, and News Pack are $10 each. Heartland and Variety Pack are $6 each, Outdoor Pack is $4. You have to call customer service to the Loyalty department (866-974-0769) to request this package. They aren't posting it anywhere yet and no lineup is available online.

Note: No Fox Sports RSN is available at this time. Multisport w/Redzone still requires Top 120 Plus or higher to add, hopefully this changes in the future.

Here is the lineup from what I have:

I might pay the $10 for a single package, but the base flex package is more than I need or want.. Broadcast TV has a lot to offer. Pluto free TV app also has a lot to offer for free! I wont forget to mentioin K0di for the obvious reasons. TV packages are so 1990..

Can you tell how you got that? We are 12mo into a 2yr contract and medical bills are piling up after our oldest had a $47,000 helicopter ride and a week long stay in PICU (yes, we have insurance, but calculate even 10% of that...plus deductible). All the reps would offer was the "$35 for bare minimum" channels. Hubby wants NFL and Nascar, kids want Disney, Nick, Boomerang... all I want is a bill under $100. LOL

Probably the best thing you could do is cancel your Dish contract, pay the ETF and then go to DirecTV which has that great free NFL Sunday Ticket for new customers. If you look hard enough DTV will pay you enough of a prepaid card to cover the Dish ETF, plus you get the bargain DTV rates for at least one year.
