Just about right. I have two X1's and a cable/phone/WiFi modem and the bill is usually $198. Not thrilled with the X1 but really isn't any worse than the current Hopper IMHO. It's one saving grace is the voice control is quite good.

No, I had Dish for many years prior to returning to them after a year or so with Xfinity. I had T120 package, one Hopper and one Joey and always stable bill at about $50 per month. I didn't have any premiums, but once in a while I would call and they would give me free HBO for 3 months, or once...

Had DISH T120 for years . The Hopper was fast and intuitive, and to be honest I was quite impressed. I had a Joey in the Master and couldn't be happier with my $55 package. Well, after a while, the price just kept creeping up... Pretty soon I was paying over $75 per month for the T120 and no...
