Message: [QUOTE="bhelms, post: 826814, member: 39323"] The fact that your parents are weighing-in has me thinking that perhaps you have other needs for that money. Agreed that it's likely a good deal, but certainly not a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. Prices will certainly drop and newer better models will always come along, so if you wait forever for those eventualities you'll never take the leap. But that said, is now the right time? Are there other more pressing needs for that money, like taking care of a family or tuition payments due? Are you already strung-out with other financial commitments like your car? And your upgrade to DishHD is not trivial in terms of the added monthly financial obligation - will that be a problem? If the answer to all of these is "no", then go for it...! (Sorry, but I am speaking as a father with a college kid who has to be restrained sometimes, and I just had to pony-up over $5k for his latest, ongoing tuition bill...!) [/QUOTE]
