Check out the HD-Only package:
DISH Network -- Dish HD
$29.99/month +$5 locals + $7 for 2nd receiver + $5.98 DVR fee each ($11.96) = $53.95 + tax
I've been living with this package for 2 months, so far so good. If E* truly adds the 25 HD channels that Charlie mentioned last month, it will be a very good deal.
You get the SD versions of any HD channel that has an SD version, and SD locals even if E* doesnt yet provide your locals in HD. You can also add the SD Public Interest channels (C-SPAN, etc) for free. You CANNOT get your RSN with this package, however.
I have kids, they will sh*t if they don't have Disney and Nick.
