They used to have the no-contract option when I signed up. Dont know if they did away with it completely. Only thing was you had to pay $99 for installation. I had a ClubDish referral, so they waived the $99 for me anyway.

yeah, that basically makes the cost too high to be worth getting. I think I pay like $125 for cable and internet through att. I prefer it over TWC.

i know a tree remover

i just signed up for directv, free hd dvr box, and after the AAA discount, its running me about $40 a month for a year  
i combined with verizon dsl and home phone, so the verizon triple freedom is saving me an additional $35 a month.  
much better than the $200 a month I was paying before with TWC + Verizon home phone.

Easier to zonk duh. Can you still get dish cards scanned and get it for free?

Cable you’d have to open the cable box in your hood, which could be risky.

Nope. Nagra 3 put an end to that. Nagra 3 being a way to encrypt channels for satellite. Dish Network just adopted it over the summer and ended the Free to Air craze for the time being… until someone cracks it.
