My wife an I just canceled our Dish Network subscription. We got tired
of paying over$100.00 a month for a boob tube.

If you want to get your money's worth from Dish you need to have their
so called HD package and a DVR. Their HD movie channels have some
great older movies and a fair amount of musical programming. As sort
of a bonus we get all of the Sirius music channels and a few others.
For another $10/mo we get a second receiver which we use on the boat.

Is Dish really $100/mo. They keep trying to say they are cheaper than
cable. I am paying Comcast about $70 for expanded basic, digital
starter and HBO.

My dish is about $42 a month, no HBO, the station selection sucks for 3
TV's. $5 extra for the 3rd TV. Looked at Comcast. $29.95 for 6 months
and then about $60 plus $13.95 for each extra TV from the get go. Direct
from Costco has a better station package, but is about $50 a month for my
desires. Will go up to about 60 a month after a year, but you can renew at
the $35.95 + extra TV's yearly.
