[Husker] Dish vs. Directv - Thank you

[Mike Jaixen]

I'm also interested in others experiences with the various satellite providers, as I'm debating cutting the cord with my cable TV provider. My only complaint with my current cable provider is that they aren't providing any HD programming, as it looks like they'll be shutting down their TV service in the next couple of years.  There is another cable company in town, but last time I priced them out, they were charging more than the satellite providers with only a fraction of the channels on the dish.

I'm intrigued by TurboHD from Dish Network as they trim down the channel lineup for HD only programming packages at about 2/3'rds the price of digital cable or a full satellite package.  Which is what I'm interested.  Give me ESPN, ESPN2, regional FSN, CNN, WGN, and the Weather Channel, and I'm good.  Throw in Food Network, Cartoon Network, and Disney, and the rest of the family is happy as well.  Only concern is having to go with their top of the line package to get Versus in HD for the Big XII games and the NHL.

I'm not interested in DVR's and the like at this time.  I barely have enough time to watch the stuff I can watch.
