Cable was expensive when I had them a few years ago but, I really didn’t know any different. I started working for Dish Networking and got a little bit of an education. I was fascinated by the amount of programming available at such a lower cost. My equipment is able to work two TV’s from one receiver which is awesome! Recently I choose to participate in the HD free for life promotion which is saving me another $10 a month. My husband is Brazilian so I was so excited to see that not only do they have Brazilian channels but 28 other languages as well. We are so happy with the change we made and are looking forward to getting a Sling Adapter which will give us our live programming everywhere through our mobile.
