I just got Dish, because my new roommate has a two year contract or something.
Jesus H Christ does it suck. No HD channels, no semblance of programming order (as much as I hated Time Warner, at least they grouped all the sports and music channels together), no Fox Sports (I actually had to waste time going to the UT game cause I couldn't watch it on my own tv), ESPN U costs extra, no option of getting any of the other Fox Sports regional channels, ESPN actually BLACKS OUT if whatever game they're showing isn't a sellout, no TBS/TNT on demand (that costs extra), etc etc On the bright side, it does have NFL network. I was wondering where all those anchors that ESPN fired ended up going --------------------   |

ummm I used to have Dish Network, and they had HD channels for an extra price each month (as with any cable or satellite provider). I don't remember the channel sequences though, but I just memorized the few channels I enjoyed watching.

You just have to get an HD Dish, Receiver, and Subscription, I think it is. http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/our_pro...oHD/index.shtml -------------------- Spam?

my roommate paid for HD for like 3 months before dish turned it on. I agree they group in a very stupid way.

I have DISH HD and it's only 24.99 a month for the basic package, then 5 for the locals, and then five for the DVR service.
Channel groupings are kinda weird, but I'm used to them by now. I think Will just ordered the wrong package and didn't do any research. GG Will. --------------------  |

I'm betting that Will didn't order or research squat, considering that it's his roommate that has the contract. Epic fail, Jim.
