Ok, it took me a while to take the plunge but i did, and have no regrets..so far

I got the DX-5 package which includes the dishplayer 7222, which is a freakin awesome piece of equipment and a slave 2800 receiver..just check out the details.
Anyways, $180 for package + $20 shipping -$200 dishnetwork rebate = free! the only pain in the ass is that you have to install it yourself, which is not brain surgery but definitely not as easy as "installing a ceiling fan" which I was told.
For me dish was a much better deal with equipment and programming than any direct tv system...check out this thread also which has pretty much outdated information, but some good links for comparison and information:

Also, I like like 12 miles away from my local transmission towers so i got the terk tv-42 clip on antenna also for $60 and i'm impressed with the reception! i also got my locals on dish for $5 extra a month, but want the antenna for non-network channels, upn..etc.
