For $500 or less, get mini dish, a year's sub, and at least 50 channels. base rate after the first year is $25/month. Get 4 HBO's for $10/month, networks for $4/ month. I've got an Echostar DISH network system and will NEVER go back! See alt.dbs.echostar for ongoing discussion on this system. Lowest monthly rate, NICE tech reps. Only way to go. And no, I don't work there. Just a happy customer. -= bob =- bblondel@3rddoor.com
