Dishnetwork should read this!

" Customers in Massapequa Park can start signing up today for Verizon's FiOS TV, a competitor to Cablevision.

The launch of the television service will be Verizon's first entry in New York. The service runs over high-speed fiber-optic cables wired directly to the homes.

Verizon offers an expanded basic television package, including local channels, 180 digital channels, 47 music channels and 20 high-definition channels, for $34.95."

Wow if you compare this package to Dish's new Stand-Alone HD Package at $34.99 I think they might be sticking it to us!

Great deal, but FIOS is, and will be, irrelevant to most of the US for a very very long time.

Very cool for those that can get it. But I think Verizion has a ways to go before dish or Rupert worries. I remember when we had cablevision in my area (the only area outside NY) and it was awful. People actually welcomed charter (like being lambs welcoming a wolf to dinner)

I know, I'm not a big fan of Verizion either but I think Dishnetwork is charging WAY too much money for their HD packages.

I guess that Dish is trying to pay the bill for the new satellite with all of these fees. By what they are charging their customers, they should have it paid off in 2 months!

FiOS is true 100% untouched HDTV, same as what program providers send out , not this trash we get from Dish that we pay a premium for

If Dish provided True HDTV, then I would have no problem paying these high fees and even higher ones
