  • Anyone here have Dish Network?

    We are thinking of getting it.

    I was wondering if anyone had it.

    Is it any good?

    I hear good things from people about it.

    The package I am looking at comes with 120 channels, 4 rooms, 2 DVR's, and installation is free, etc, etc. For about $53 a month.

    The way this is going to work is, currently, our cable and internet is on one bill. It comes packaged together and it is $70. Now, our phone service is about $60 a month. It is from SBC. We get only 200 local minutes. Long distance is extra. It is ass-rapage.

    The company we get our cable and internet from, Wide Open West (WOW); they have these packages where you choose 2 out of 3... cable TV, cable internet, or internet phone service. I am going to switch from cable TV and cable internet to cable internet and internet phone. The price will remain the same. I've already checked. And then I will get Dish Network.

    So basically, I will be getting better phone service, better TV service... and we will be saving $7-$8 a month.

    But I want to know how good this satelite service is.

    Does anyone on Poly have Dish Network?

    Also, I'm thinking of getting the NHL Center Ice package. It's only $100. No monthly fees or anything.

    Since I'm gonna get the DVR's I'll be able to record a lot of the games and I'll watch what I can.

    Man, that's a lot of hockey!
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      I wouldn't know since I already get all the channels and fast internet connection for free.

          My girlfriends parents have it and they seem to love it. They have three rooms with it. They have had it for a couple of years so they dont have the dvrs but I suppose they could get them. From my experience with the service, it's great. I'll be moving soon and intend to get it at my new place.

            I don't use it much, but I like it, and my dad absolutely loves it. He catches tons of sports. The only problem is that VERY occasionally you lose contact with the satellite, in very bad weather and suchlike.

              I have it, and I love it. I get all the channels, though, plus some porn, so it costs me ~ $150.

                and this is strange... my credit score is amazingly good despite not having a job

                I guess it's because I have like no debt and pay all my bills
