So, world cup soccer in HD! What is the cheapest option?

[chelseafan]

Is it calling E and leasing a 211 receiver for 99?
(If they send it to me, can I do the installation myself or does the 500 dish need tweaking?) I am really tempted to up my DishLatino Max to HD Dish Latino Max (Which would be gold, right?)
(I just don't want to shell out too much money for the new receiver)
Thanks for your replies
Go Spain!!!

All 64 games will be on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2.

Also if you're into spain, get the voom channels their WorldSport HD showed (and now replay) the spanish league soccer, lucky you!

Forza Azzurri!!!

Get the lowest DishHD package which is the bronze package to get to WC06 in HD.

If you also want FSC included then the HD Gold package is the one you want.

I would consider upgrading to the 622. The games will be broadcast around noon Eastern time when most of us will be at work. Get the 622 and record them to watch when you get home.

the only thing that sucks about the 622 is you only get 25 hours of HD recording

we need external storage... i suppose you could always save the better of the games... i also bought a cheap dvd recorder to archive shows... works well (not HD but very clean and preserves the 16:9/anamorphic image well).

The some matches will be repeated in HD at night.
