I am a little surprised that there is not already a thread on this subject.
Last week, we started receiving the HD feeds of WE and Bloomberg. These channels are not in free preview. I was not sure if this was a mistake or not. Then, last night, Dish added four more HD channels to my Welcome Pack subscription.
The Welcome Pack channels we currently receive in HD:
*free preview (Note: although we have received AXS HD since the channel first launched more than three years ago, AXS is not officially listed as part of Welcome Pack. AXS is in what I like to call "perpetual preview mode.")
The remaining Welcome Pack channels, that have HD feeds on Dish, that we are not receiving in HD:
(Note: AMC was originally included in Welcome Pack, but was removed from Welcome Pack more than two years ago. It would be nice to get AMC back, and in HD.)
If I have left any channels out of the above lists, please let me know. I am not quite the "bluegras" of Welcome Pack: I only expect Dish to add the HD feeds of the channels that they are already carrying in HD. Hopefully, Dish will soon be adding the remaining HD channels to Welcome Pack.
By the way, it does not seem to matter whether or not you have HD Free For Life. I have HDFFL on both of my accounts with Welcome Pack, but my sister has never subscribed to an HD package, and she also gets the above listed HD feeds with Welcome Pack.
