Somewhat beyond my reach just now
Just for laughs, I did some prowling around the Dish Network site to see how much it would cost for…you know…everything that I might want in order to satisfy my television needs. HD programming. A DVR. All the channels I want (keeping in mind that in order to get them, I’d have order a lot of crap I don’t want), which include all those movie and sports packages that we don’t get now. And say I wanted it for two televisions.
Holy schmoly.
Ninety bucks a month for the “America’s Everything” programming package.
Add twenty per month for HD programming (”only $20 since it’s being added to a “top” program pack).
The HD DVRs cost so much that they don’t even list the prices on the site! At least, not where I can easily see them. What do you think, two hundred dollars, maybe three? And that would just be for the box itself; the actual DVR subscription must be extra.
Damn. I don’t have the heart to look anymore. Let’s just say an entertainment upgrade isn’t on the horizon. What the hey, there’s nothing wrong with Bio, DIY, and Discovery Times Investigation Discovery, eh?
Oy.

The DVR is a function of receiver unit itself so they do not charge a subscription fee for it. We have regular dishnetwork(DVR) so I’m not sure about the cost of HD programming.
Thanks, txrad.
So that brings the dream a little bit closer…
