Recently bought a new 42" LCD and right now we have cable for our internet and tv service. Here is our cable provider Northland Cable Television - Starkville, MS
Northland Cable sucks big time already but even worse for HD content. If you look under the services tab they want $75/month for the programming and $30/month to lease the HD STB which is a CRAPPY motorola DVR. So in the search for better TV I have narrowed it down to E* because I have seen D* and am not impressed whatsoever. My friends family on the other side of our neighborhood has E* with HD and I love it. They have a Superdish (another family with E* [no HD] also has a super dish) so i would guess that's what we would want. I have been looking over all of this and am a little disappointed that we cant get the HD standalone package anymore but I have looked into the DVR advantage and I would just like some insight on opinions and any tips or heads up on the added fees involved with this package.
DishDVR Advantage 49.99
HD Pack 20.00
Rebates -20.00 (10 months)
49.99 for the first 10 months then 69.99 after that.
Now I know it cant be as simple as that. Basically we would still want local channels and we would want a ViP622 receiver to start with (basically we want to see how dish performs and decide if it is reliable enough and see if it is worth dropping cable). so we would want the 622 hooked up to the one hd and one sd sets. are there going to be any extra fees like the "access fee" or "hd enabling fee"?
also, would the superdish hit all of the "spots in the sky" from zip code 39759? Thanks
PS
We would probably want to wait until August to get because of the supposed 6 months free of HD. How would that work. Any suggestions? Thanks again
