I am quite impressed so far with many of the DISH network services. The Dou DVR 722 converter box is awsome. It is better than any sat box I have worked with, and works better than TIVO. The Sat dish, The LNB’s, and the reciever in combination work excellent. Even at low signal strengths I get great picture with no interuptions of service.
The instruction manual is easy to read.
Then they send me a Qualified Sat Technician/installer that doeas the job like a true proffessional installing my system, and explaining it. A real proffessional. They even give me direct tech support from the field service techs which is outrageous.
Best of all they give me a channel line up that is fun to watch, and interactive programmining that is
excellent with potential for growth. It cost about $690.00 to lock in one year of programming of
top 200/local channels/HD/and DVR, and it is worth it. I have never been happier, and my familly loves it. DISH NETWORK IS QUALITY. I can,t wait till they offer there own Broadband internet capability.

This is a good deal for most viewers. How many channels of TV can a normal person actually make use of?
My only complaint is that I paid the extra $6/mo for local channels, but the “local” PBS channel is actually the national feed, rather than KCET (I live in Santa Barbara, and we got KCET from our COX cable service). This makes absolutely no sense to me, but DISH is a large company, and can’t be bothered with this oddity.

Turbo HD rocks! I cant say enough about this service. Left Time Warner cable two months ago for Turbo HD, and couldnt be happier. Not only is my bill about $50 less than with TWC, but I dont miss a thing when it comes to channels. Sure I lost some shopping networks, but anything worth watching at all is on the Turbo HD gold lineup, and the DishDVR rocks too.

I actually like these packages. I really don’t care about 90% of the channels provided by cable or satellite. Lets face it, if you have time to watch all these channels you probably need to get a lfe.
I am thinking of subscribing to the TurboHD because 1. Its cheap, 2. It has all the basic channels I want and 3. Its all in HD.
On top of that, I can get a two-room dvr so I can watch the few shows I like in either my family room or bedroom.
Not everyone needs or wants 100 channels.
