Jeebus fuck. My Dish bill is $113/month, but I have 2 receivers (one a 
2-tuner HD DVR), 250 channels, HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Blockbuster Movie 
Pass. Take out HBO/Sho, it's down to $84/month.

Actually, I just realized I still have a "protection plan" I bought last 
time I need a tech out here (it's cheaper than paying the per-visit fee of 
$95), which I can cancel this month or next to knock $6 off the bill.

It's no wonder my neighbors dumped Direct. Unless you "need" NFL Sunday 
Ticket, it's a giant ass-fucking ripoff.
