Just curious, what's on those 80 channels? I have digital cable here myself and can't imagine what the heck else could be squeezed on the TV these days (I've got, what, something like 300 channels here? heh).

Does the dish give you any trouble, are you still able to get local stations, and can you watch one thing on one TV and a different thing on another, or does everybody in the house see just one channel? Curious, I almost went the dish route a long time ago (bundled highspeed broadband Internet access sealed the deal on cable for me :p).

Wow. My basic cable service only provided about 50 channels. Anything else was premium stuff like HBO. Still, I'm not sure the cable service would ever have added up to 300 channels no matter how big your package was.

Every TV has it's own receiver--that's how you can get different channels. A couple extra $$ per month for each receiver over 2. So far no trouble with dish reception. We talked with several folks who were satisfied with the service before we got it. We have local channels but it's $4.00 per month to get them which seemed sort of weird. Some people use an antennae (sp) for locals and the dish for the rest, I've heard.
