I agree with Krispy. There are a lot of advantages for going with Cable including the internet bundle and you get almost every channel you could want in HD. I am partial to sports myself so I would lean more towards Direct TV but if you like Desperate Housewives or Lifetime in HD then you best stick with Dish. Its a buyers market so do a ton of research for providers in your area and match up the options before you jump in......then sit back and relax for some Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader auditions in HD.
