There's a lot of good information contained on this forum. Have you tried the Search function? It's pretty intuitive.

Look at the way the 3 months free is offered not 3 consecutive months but spaced out through the 2 year contract. Premier plus HD is about $110 regular price without any promotional discounts. Read about reception problems on 129 DISH's HDTV satellite.

I would suggest reading up on u-Verse. There are good and bad points to it. There is a U-Verse forum BBR at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/uverse

When it becomes available here I am going to try it out. They have a 30 day refund policy if you don't like it (or last I read they did). If I don't like it I will cancel and keep the 10M internet (presently have 6M).

Make sure you are getting all the channels you want, be aware that for $10.00 you do not get near as many HD channels as DirecTv, and as Boba says make sure you can get the 129 sat.

How many HD channels with you get with U-Verse?!?

[BobaBird]

make sure you can get the 129 satAn east coast subscriber like Morbius is more likely to have a separate dish for 61.5 instead, but it depends on where the HD locals (http://ekb.dbstalk.com/hdlocal.htm) come from.

They have about 44 channels that include locals & east/west feeds for the movie channels.

That's better than ComCrap around here...... Are those 44 channels available everywhere that they offer service? Because ComCrap or other cable companies vary per market.
