SBC/Dish Network satelite systems

[ndurbin]

I was just wondering if anyone out there has/is using the SBC/Dish Network satelite program. My parents have had Dish Network for awhile and I like it.



The problem is if I try to goto an independent satelite company they want an 200-400 buck deposit (which I cant go pick off the money tree to give them). Does SBC still want a deposit if your already an SBC customer? How is the service/prices? if it's anything like the phone bill it seems to change month to month.



TIA

Dish Network has a special going on in Dallas/Ft. Worth right now where you pay a pay a $49. 99 Activation fee, then you get a $49. 99 credit on your first bill, making your activation free. I believe this also includes all equipment and a DVR.



I've had Dish Network for 9 or 10 years and I love it. The DVR will change the way you watch TV, it's great, and I think it helped my marriage. When my wife comes in and starts talking, I just hit the pause button until she goes back out of the room. It is also great for watching sports because you can rewind and and get really ****** when you see how bad the referee screwed up a call.
