Out with Directv in with DishNetwork!!!

[hidefman30]

I think I got a pretty good deal with Dishnetwork. I have Directv 150 channel package, no premium or HD, with 3 standard recievers. I wanted to stay with Directv and upgrade but they wanted to charge me $300 for the HD box alone, and thier HD channel package with less HD channels. So I called Dishnetwork, they offered me a better 942 HD DVR for $250 and another plain DVR (622) for my master bedroom. Both are dual tuners so I will use them to hook up the two kids rooms without recievers! Plus I gwt all the premium channels free for 3 months plus the first month of service is free! My only grip is that they botched my last install date, by not having the equipment, but they made up up for it by adding another free month of programming. All in all my DN bill will be $75 for 180 channel package, plus HD and DVR. That's maybe $20 more than my Directv bill, but I am getting so much more. Bye bye Directv!
