Dish or Direct?

[AndrewP]

I apologize if I wasn't clear. We have different setups. You have two HDTVs and I have one. I've done the math for my setup, and that TV2 output saves me money. I am wondering what this fee for the receiver is that you insist I have is. As with DirecTV, the first Dish receiver is free and additional receivers carry a fee. That's my point. I don't need an additional reciever. I am, however, happy that you are able to save money with DirecTV with two HDTVs. I will remember that when I invest in a second one and I appreciate your advice.

Maybe it is changed, but when I had Dish 2 years ago, I had HDDVR 622 with $5 receiver fee.
In Feb - March both providers change pricing and it has to be seen who wins price war.
