Newbie signing up for Dish for first time, some questions though...

[scott78945]

I am going tomorrow to most likely sign up for Dish Network for the first time. I think I have decided to get the 625 receiver for 2 rooms and then the standard receiver for the other room. I plan on getting local channels so I need the SuperDish also. I have been reading some posts and had some questions. I had already read up on the snow issues as I live in central NY so I am not too worried. Are there any hidden costs to this? I am sure you are all aware of the deals they are currently running with the free movie channels for 3 months, the free first month, and free DVR upgrade. Is this a good deal? I havn't been looking into this that long so I am unsure if this is that great of a deal and I am relying on everyone's expertise here to tell me if it is. I would love to hold out for the HD DVR but I don't want to spend the $250 for the lease so for now I am going for the regular receivers with DVR. Is the monthly charge for service worth it? Will I still get customer support without it? Should I just wait for an HD DVR deal to be coming but who knows when that may be. Thanks all for any input you have.
