    So I'm Ready to Order DISH . . .

    . . .

    New member - old sat hand

    Glad I learned about this site! I have been a DirecTV sub since last September after switching from DISH, where I was a sub since 1996. My goal for the rest of 2008 is to decide whether it's time to take the HD plunge. Have resisted so far because I just don't think the programming justifies the...
