dishNetwork deals?

[MalaCloudy Black]

So we're thinking about getting dish in four rooms in the house, currently they're offering a $50 setup fee for 4 rooms and $40 per month for 4 months.

My question is, though, after the 4 month deal is up, how much would we be paying for dishNetork? is it worth it?

It depends on which package you get. There are 3 packages. America's Top 60, America's Top 120, and America's Top 180.

Top 60 is $26.99 a month.

Top 120 is $37.99 a month.

Top 180 is $47.99 a month.

There's also a small fee to "rent" the recievers from them. If I find our bill I'll tell you how much that is, and if there are any other costs.

Edit: Apparently it's more than a "small" fee. Looks like it's $5 for each reciever.

Our bill is:

Digital home plan with America's Top 180, 4 Recievers - $67.99

Fox Network - $1.50

Superstation Package KWGN - $5.99

State/Local Tax (Sales/Gross Receipts) - $4.53

Total bill: $80.01

So, if you only get the America's Top 180 with 4 Recievers, depending on your state's taxes, I'd say it'll cost around $70 a month.

As far as if it's worth it, it depends on how much you watch your tv. Since I live in the middle of nowhere, and there's absolutely nothing to do, I watch a lot of TV. So it is worth it to me.

I've been thinking of switching over to dishnetwork also Directv is good but their prices are a little high

I used to have DirectTV, but customer support and prices were horrible in comparison to Dish Network...

My dad has had DishNetwork since they were selling them door to door, and they have since given him a DVR for being a loyal customer, and my mom recently switched back to DirectTV but hadn't had it a week before saying she was switching back as soon as the contract is up.

I wish they would have been offering the DVR when we got our system.
