I went to Dish four years ago this spring to get FoxNews.
Many of the new developments in N. California aren't putting in Cable. They just have outlets in the house. Then Dish or Direct Tv can be installed for free and a better deal $ wise for the new home owners.
The Dish is what they ended up getting...we have "discussions" every other day or so about current events. I keep him updated about what's happening on the net, printing the most pertinent articles, funny things I think he'd like...mail them out every 2nd day or so. He's the most staunch Bush supporter. I've never met a man so devoted to this country.
