Will ESPN2 & Universal be included at no up-charge for those with the current Dish HD tier? Will the new Voom channels be added at no up-charge for those who currently pay for the 10 current Voom channels?
My understanding is that there won't be an additional monthly charge for the new HD networks but that you will have upgrade to a new MPEG-4 receiver to get them.
