i got dish 10 years ago when i lived in the desert. the town
had cable, 11 whole channels for 39 buck a month. dish had
49 for 25 bucks. a no brainer. i stayed with them even when
cable was around because they are loyal to me and give me
new stuff including dvr's and a long term customer discount.
screw cable.
