Got a sweet deal too:
$24.99/mo local channels +60 cable channels + HD + Free equipment/installation/activation
$100 rebate, $100 gas card
18 month contract, perfect for two seasons of football.

Beats the crap out of the $50/mo Comcast wanted, even though Ive had them for cable+HSI for over a year now. FU comcast, now to find a cheaper broadband provider.

Dish has the NFL package now? I thought that was a direct exclusive?

DirectTV has the NFL Sunday Ticket. The games on NBC, FOX, ESPN, etc.. are enough for me, especially in HD.

Then why didn't you just watch them OTA in HD?

Yes and no. You need to have the wiring, but depending on the provider they won't require you to sign up for 911 and all the other crap that goes along with using a phone line for voice calls.

It's up to the provider though.

I was going to go with Dish, but didn't like the idea of paying $200 upfront for a HD-DVR
