Given the paucity of non-sports HD content in the DIRECTV Premier package, one might equate it to adding the SPORTS PACK to CHOICE Extra.
Lot of the RSN in the sports pack now are carried in HD.
You should add teh dish sport pack to everything pack considering that premier includes it. But just as I mention in the other thread you play with the number enought you can see almost anything
I am just as an examp now show equipment cost as they are it would not matter who I had I would pay for the boxes i need
Setup mimics what I had with dish and now have with directv but I was nicer and instead of acounting my 3 722 I did it onthere site show 2 hd dvr solo 1 duo so 3 hd and 1 sd .
vs 3 hr2x and 1 r15
AT250 vs Choice Xtra

Choice Xtra with 250 channels
63.99+10(hd)+15(additonal reciver) 88.98
So here I can say switching to directv could save 120 dollars a year even more where i live do to less taxes.
Now I would be like dish and use microprice to show how i got at these numbers and the special circumstances at which they were calculated.
But again if I make some sacarfices I could make dish look better the direct.
