Because if it was worth it I wanted to switch now. The major sticking point was my Internet connection but it looks like I won't save any money, get anymore service and it looks like I would even pay more for the same service on DISH that I am getting now with cable. So then I asked about NFL Sunday Ticket. Yes I know NFL Sunday Ticket is only available on DirecTV. When I asked about DISH vs. CABLE I was just saying DISH as in satellite.
This might be a good reason for dish: http://www.tvweek.com/news.cms?newsId=11336 NBCU, Turner, CNN to Launch HD Networks By James Hibberd USA Network, Sci Fi Channel, TBS, Cartoon Network, CNN and other channels are readying to launch simulcast high-definition networks by the end of the year. CNN announced plans to launch an HD network in September at its opening session at the Television Critics Association's semiannual press tour, while an NBC Universal spokesperson confirmed the company will launch a "suite of HD networks." NBCU would not set an exact time table. A Turner spokesperson also confirmed HD networks for TBS and Cartoon Network. The news comes a day after DirecTV's announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that it has HD carriage agreements with 60 cable networks. DirecTV cited USA, Sci Fi, FX, CNN, Cartoon Network, TBS and several other channels among the brands with agreements. The satellite provider plans to launch 100 HD channels by the end of the year as part of its strategy to expand its HD offerings. Though all major cable networks are eventually expected to have HD simulcasts, none of the networks DirecTV cited had previously announced plans to launch HD networks. CNN announced its plans Tuesday morning at its panel. Spokespeople for NBC Universal and Turner confirmed plans to launch their HD networks shortly after. A spokesman for Fox Cable Networks Group representing FX had not yet returned a call. The confirmations represent the largest number of networks to commit to HD upgrades all at once. DirecTV's launching of two new satellites in 2007, combined with the satellite service's push for more HD content, has been a tipping point for a host of major networks previously biding their time before taking the plunge to HD. The moves will dramatically expand the number of HD viewing options for consumers, who have long griped about the scarcity of HD content.
Anyone else with dish, are you getting the NHL league pass for free? I know we don't have NHL package, but I was just browsing all the channels today and I'm getting every single hockey game. I hope it's just a mistake.
Yes you do. Even if you get the full package, you still have to pay extra for FSN, which I still don't have. I think the Sports Package starts at 4.99 and gives you 2 or 3 FSN channels.
