We had DirecTV a few years ago and when we left San Bernardino (YEAHHH) for N CAL, we changed to Dish.
We got a 5.1 reciver with a HD built in.
We wanted to add rooms and to make a long story short almost went to the TIVO guys but stayed with Dish.
so what?
well, Dish now is going TIVO like.
this means you have to get the reciever but paya RECORDING fee (like TIVO).
This to me is the equiuvilant to buying a VCR and paying walmart a $1 everytime you want to record a show. I DO NOT LIKE IT,
Finally we were able to get DISH to scrounge up just a PLAIN HD reciever..it records w/o the subsctiptip "record fee"
yeah, yeah, we still pay for programming but the notion of the recording fee just bugs me.
just a thought
