Even the non-HD channels look a lot better, at least on my set. Much less pixelation and crawling edges over HDMI than over S-Video. Also the new DVR is a lot snappier to work with.

Definitely cheaper than cable. The same/similar cable package is about twice as much.

I've got Dish as well and am very happy with it. I used to have Mediacom cable and compared to it, picture quality is MUCH better and the service costs about half as much. I used to be a fan of cable but now I realize that it's just junk.

Just a little caution. I think DISH is good but be very aware of the Terms and Conditions before you sign on the dotted line. This sounds like a great price for 12 months but the agreement is usually for 18 or 24 months. So you're paying whatever the price will go to after the introductory price .. and usually more for the extra equipment and local channels after the introduction .. and they won't guarantee what that price will be so you won't know what you'll eventually be paying (already asked) until 13 months from signup. Also, this is a DISH reseller not DISH itself. FYI: Their Terms and Conditions page is "Page Not Found" at the moment. Be cautious.

I love Dish Network. No problems at all. I have the dual room DVR and I don't know how I lived without it all these years.

Confirmed what I thought to be true. It's a 2 year service commitment for a 12 month promo. So the first 12 months is $25 but what does it cost after that .. anyone's guess. How can they ask you to commit to months 13-24 when they won't? Heck .. I'm good with 24 months at $30 as long as I know it will be $30 fixed for the full 24 months that they've asked me to commit to their service.
