I'm basically happy with Dish.I've had it for probably5-6 years. The only thing that annoys me (though it is good business) is they run specials to sign up new viewers, but when I asked about getting some break on upgrading to a new receiver (one that is TiVO like) I got no break. I said what about all of us loyal subscribers? They said no deal. AT the time it tweaked me enough I considered looking for other options, but I've basically been happy enough I've stayed put.

I've only had to call Tech Support a couple of times, both times I got someone who knew what they were doing and solved the problem with that one phone call. (But like many other tech businesses hold times were pretty long.)

I'm not a big sports fan, but I think there are (or were)some differences in sports programming.

Call around to the independant dealers in your area.

I picked up the PVR 500 for 200 bucks, I thought it was a steal. It was about the cost of a good VCR but oooooh BABY is it cool!
