Well Just got my Bill for March service and now ,I'm paying $66 per month for Choice Xtra and 1 SD DVR:(
I hate to be the Guys that are paying $110 for Premier Pack a month with no HD or DVR.
So D* is Now up to $126 per month for 1 HD/DVR and Premier pack.

While even with E* price increase with Americas Everything pack with locals 2 rooms of DVR (1HD 1SD) $102.99 Add the Multisports pack for $5.99 HD for $10
For $118.98 per month.
Add a 2nd room with D* and your bill is up to $131 per month. WOW must be that Free Hot Pass.

peace of mind is worth every penny ;) :)

Piece of mind is also nice for me, knowing that I pay less with Direct for a comparable setup with Dish, have EI (which Dish does not have), have more locals in HD (8 with Direct, 4 with Dish), and more channels within my package in HD.

I don't have locals in HD yet with any providers.. Well charter does, but that does not count!! I got to see NFL i will get MLB.. I have choices!! Not all people like repeats of movies over and over. Heck i have a DVR if i want to see a movie and netflix!!

The only meaningful package for those who have multiple HD receivers/DVRs is the E* everything pack, else D*'s deals will be better because they do not charge multiple DVR fees and less on the per HD/HD DVR receiver fee.

But not everyone wants to pay for the top tier.

Thats it for me in a nutshell (without the 8 locals:mad:). It would cost me more for 2 HD DVRs and a comparable packege with E* than what I have now. (last I checked anyway)

I know how you feel, with my RSN, I have five.:mad:

Counting RSNs, I have 10 :p

Counting RSNs, I have 10 :p


:(:(:(:(:(

Counting RSNs, I have 10 :p I could have 10 if I paid $6 extra. But I don't! And don't really care . HD RSN's only benifit the guy with NHL NBA and MLB sports packs. For everyone else nothing but in market games and blackouts and Paid programming.. RSN's Repeat more then any Voom channel ever did. Wow! Your lucky:p

If I would have HD And at Least the Choice Pack for $65 per month, Or Family pack $(29.99)with Sports Pack$12) with HD Access($10) So to get these Local RSN's Would cost me Atleast $51 per month.

So if I thought I was Missing something
I'd Go with Cable and get the Other 12 SD locals that D* doesn't have at all.
But Instead I chose E*
because it cost less then D*
E* about the same Price as Cable +-$1
E* offers Superstation pack.
+ My area Quailifys for All American Direct Something D* can't and won't give me. So Thats another 8 locals I get with E*.
Premiums , Well I'm not even going to go there. SD or HD
Free DVR service with my Pack
YES Network with E* is an issue with me , But I'd rather pay Cable $20 per month then Give D* $51 per month for Yes in HD.
Great value. NOT!
