Been lurking here on and off for the past few years and finally had some questions.
I had Dish a few years back and really liked it. However, Comcast came around and gave me an offer that I would have been crazy to pass up. Now Comcast is a little too expensive and I liked the PQ better on Dish.
This is what I am considering through E*:
HD package - either silver or gold
VIP 622 receiver to hook my HD TV up as well as an SD TV in my bedroom
one additional standard receiver for spare bedroom
Are there any reputable retailers/installers in the Denver area? I really don't want to pay for installation, but at the same time I don't want a crappy installer since some cable will have to be run for the 622 (only one cable is run right now). And do any installers run wiring for phone jacks? I don't have one behind my TV. Will I have to get a different Dish than the one I currently have on my house, rather should I? Will it be provided? Is there any other information I should know?
Plus, I saw a decent deal on the net for $10 off your bill each month for 10 months as well as a lease of $199 for the 622. Are there any better deals out there? Is this deal available through any dealer?
Thanks.
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot to ask one more thing: Is it worth paying the extra $5 to get the HD locals, or just to use an OTA? I've read that if you use the OTA, you don't get the guide lineup for those channels.
