Screw DTV. Go with Dish Network. Get a HiDef DVR that will feed two rooms
(one HD, the other SD), free installation, plus, if you choose, you can pay
a one time fee and be able to add an external USB drive, up to 750 GB, for
additional HD storage. Plus free installation. Requires an 18 month
programming commitment, and valid credit card or debit card for security.
