Care to elaborate on that? lol

I thought the programming is pretty much identical. The reason I chose Dish in the first place is they gave me a free HD DVR and another free HD Receiver...

More than that. By like 50 dollars for 250 channels or whatever...

BB, I've posted about this in other threads, but DirecTV is uncomparable to anything else available to us mere mortals. I don't have anything to gain by promoting DirecTV, and for all the good things I've said about them I should get a credit from them or something, but I've been with them for 9 years running. First, you'll have access to the NFL Network, and their programming includes all of the 'Skins pre-season games (albeit on a delayed basis). Secondly, I have had nothing but good experiences with their customer service. You can't say that about cable TV...period. I've recv'd two equip. upgrades, most recently for HD, over the last few years, and the cost? Free, as long as I didn't jump ship. As far as the local HD broadcasts, I'm not sure how that works. But, I do know that when I watched a few pre-season games that had the "HD" banner in the screen, I didn't get the HD broadcast in my area. Could truly be a licensing thing depending on your actual location, so maybe "The Dish" wasn't blowing smoke. Anyway, if you like watching football, DirecTV is second to none (ok, DirecTV reps out there, send me a check or something for my endorsement). :-)
