    Longtime Comcast/Xfinity Subscriber switching to DISH on 11/28 - What to expect?

    Thanks, Bobby! Looks like we're good to go on that one (yay!) ;-) The only sport we'll miss (and it is my favorite) is watching my beloved Tigers (College Hoops) when they play on CSS. However, those games aren't often (usually on a different network which we will receive), and I think that just...

    Yes, we only have two TVs - an lcd in master and projector in media room. Actually considering buying another tv for one of the guest rooms though.....so you have a point. I suppose if I do that at a later date it will cost more than possibly doing it at initial install....hmmmm....food for...

    Longtime Comcast/Xfinity Subscriber switching to DISH on 11/28 - What to expect?

    Answering my own question (I think). Googled and found this from Wiki: "If a local team is playing and the game is televised in the home market, the associated feed on League Pass is blacked out and unavailable for viewing" - Ok, so that explains why purchasing an NBA League Pass would NOT...

    Longtime Comcast/Xfinity Subscriber switching to DISH on 11/28 - What to expect?

    Not negative so much as hesitant ;-) And you hit the nail on the head as to why: I've never had to have a "contract" for video/TV content. So yes, that's worrisome. However, my justification is this (help me out if I'm wrong on this): We own a vacation home on the beach. I figure if for any...

    Thanks, Joel! Yes, the VOD worries me. We have very fast broadband though, and if DISH VOD is comparable to say, Netflix or Vudu, then we should be ok. If it's not, then we'll def have a problem (egads!) Glad to hear you think the HD quality will suffice!! We did get a pretty good deal new...

    We are long time cable subscribers making the switch to Dish tomorrow. Feeling a bit nervous about it, lol...I still have time to change my mind, but thought I'd through some questions out.
