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.

We had all that too, Wayne. but about $1500.00 a year ?

to us, television isn't worth it. Besides, once you get used to not
having a TV, you really don't seem to miss it.

Suggestion: Get a broadcast antenna.

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.


It depends on the package you get and options.

Dish ,, the best deal in television.

Why is it the best deal in television?

Because THEY SAY it is the best deal in television.....

We thought it was worth it just to get rid of Comcast, plus we were
able to add the boat for another $10/mo. Try that with Comcast!

Does Dish allow you to temporarily move your receiver to a boat or RV? I
have a $3500 automatic tracking antenna on my RV that isn't being used
because I'm too cheap to pay for Television.

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.
