The added HD channels the last few years has been a big plus but I am with you all mostly
I am going to pass on it this year for financial reasons.
I can watch my fill of games on ESPN/ESPN2/Fox
The only thing I worry about with Ala-Carte is that I tend to like the big, well-known channels and that the price of those channels will be the most expensive
So, will I really save if I have them all?
There are people on other forums (such as SatRacer on DBStalk) who work for D* and are generally correct (not everytime but high majority) that backup what he said.
