My guess is 249 for everything. 299 on d*

Yes I use it, and it is legit. It does have buffering issues sometimes, but it's better than the shady offshore websites. If you have satellite you can sub to their tv channel. It's 2024 on d* and 582 on e*. Better reliability but $5 more per month.

Hooray - D* is back with its high quality picture for its coverage of the Cricket Twenty20 World Cup. Boo - the programs are matches are showing up in the program guide 2 hours before they are played, and then you have to set manual timers to record them because you cannot recored them from...

Time was... Dish Cricket used to cost $50/month. Now all cricket is a la carte at around $3/day - so the subscriptions appear to be high (this summer from the UK cost $150 for 47 days). But remember each day of a match lasts 7 hours... lots of expensive uplink time. However if you are an...

My uncle who lives in Boca is interested in getting D*. The big problem is that he owns a listed building and cannot add any Dishes to the superstructure. The install would need to be for 101 and 95 degree satellites (an ex brit, he wants the cricket). Anyone got any recommendations...

There may only be 20,000 Cricket subscribers in the US, but I figured I'd speak up on this issue... which is the reason why I have a dish today! Murdoch (owner of Fox, Sky and most cricket coverage worldwide) has finally brought the hammer down on Echostar cricket in the USA. After 8 years...
