I'm open to just about anything as long as it's cheap and easy. Been with Dish for like 10 years now and ain't paying them a dollar more. We used to actually watch a lot of the channels but everything has gone to crap now. You used to actually learn something watching The Learning Channel. Now TLC is nothing but trash. Even FoodTV has become nothing but reality/cake/cooking/competition crap.

Anyway, I appreciate the suggestions.

Since I use a regular IR remote, my wife doesn't even know a PC is running the show. She thinks we still have a regular DVR. She even aims the remote at the box she thinks is the DVR.

I agree that most cable channels are completely worthless now due to all the reality crap. It's a shame every channel has devolved into showing the same junk as everyone else. Surely the public will eventually get tired of it and the tide will turn again.

1) I have 4 hd tvs I want to hook up with the hopper however I heard you can only get 3 playing at once, is this true?
2) is there any lag between the Joey and the Hopper?
3) Can the Dish technician use my DirectTv mount?
4) Will Dish run a new cable line in my wall during install, I talked direct tv into doing it for one room but want it for another.
5) Does dish have something like direct tvs premiere pack or do I literally have to get their top pack and add encore and all sports pack. This can't be right though because I always hear how dish is cheaper than direct tv but my premiere is 130 a month and dish quoted me 100 for the first year with a similar channel lineup.

Thanks a bunch to anyone that has time to answer any of my questions.
