Make the switch. |
Well I don't know how different the prices is, but we're paying about $70 for the digital in the living room and regular in my room. Will it be around the same price monthly? I know it should cost a pretty penny to get the actual dish and stuff? |
The prices are pretty comparable to cable considering you get more channels, but you do pay more if you want HD. Dish is a little cheaper than DirecTV and the offer pretty much the same stuff minus some sports packages. They both offer rebate type deals on all the equipment. |
I'll have to look into it then. I'm already on a limited budget until I find a job this summer.

I hope so. For some reason, the Braves vs Phillies was blacked out last night in my area though (on ESPN), and I was not too pleased with that. I don't live very close to Philly... |
Any time I can watch any game with someone other than Miller and Morgan doing the broadcast I'll choose the other option. Those are the two most annoimg sports casters I've ever heard.

Didnt Congress pass some law here while back about only having to pay for the channels we wanted and not having to pay for a whole bundle?
