It has alot to do with the HD, once you get HD you won't want to watch regular digital. Dish has the locals but not in HD, Direct has local in HD. And their HD packages are pricey compared to Direct. Additionally thier dvr system is cumbersome, too many settings you must set, not just options if you want. Oh and all these stupid system integrity checks Dish does, or constantly having to download the program guide, just irritating stuff. I do however like the fact you can set 2 tv's off one box, can't do that with Direct.
Right now I can get DSL from Bellsouth/ATT but when we move back down to the river...oh about 5 miles no more DSL will have to go with Satellite like you. And like you living relatively rural I can't just get oh say Cox cable and bundle everything like they can in NOLA. So it just keeps me...

FTFY...but yes can't wait until it's available in my area..but I think it will be a long time. It would sooooo simplify all my tech needs.
