    If you can get Dish, why not? Better than both on 100%. Later, QD.

    That's a good suggestion. See who has what receiver and ask them how they like theirs. I've been a Dish subscriber for almost 10 years and wouldn't think of ditching them. In fact, this past July, I went ahead and upgraded to full HD with the 250+ channel package and HBO. I pay about $90 for all of this shit. Later, QD.

    I have cable just because I could bundle all my stuff into one bill (cable, internet, and home phone), but my parents and my wifes parents have dish. I believe they both love them great quality and alot of hd channels. I will switch once they get local channels in HD.

    That's why I was asking why the dude hasn't switched, lolol. I've had HD on Dish since April and have always had local HD channels.

    Comparing U Verse to Dish and I pay about $10 less per month and get about 20 more channels. That's comparing the U Verse's U-200 (HD and HBO) to Dish's Top 250 (HD and HBO). U Verse is about $98/month and I pay $88/month for my Dish. But as far as the price, you're right. Anything under $100 is good, lolol. Later, QD.
