I'd want the same with Dish, but on their site it doesn't say how much it costs to add HBO and Showtime or even if you can add it to the base package at all.
I npoticed that on Dish if you go from the 60 channel to the 180 channel all the do is add 100 music channels. I HATE MUSIC! I don't even have a radio in my truck, why would I want it on my TV?
I'm kinda leaning towards Direct TV as it is, bu weren't they under investigation awhile back for some kind of fraud? Or was that DISH? Or a 3rd company?

I have the total choice with the local channels and that has pretty much eveything we need (Over a hundred channels). The HBO pachage and Showtime are extra but don't know the price, wife and I are going to the movies or buying the DVD when it comes out so we realy don't need them.
As for the fraud, you got me. It's either another company or very old issue or one of those news stories that got by me...
Get the TiVo and watch out for those deals from the local installers on the free boxes. Direct will charge you $4.95 for every additional box. You can get the boxes as back up or whatever just when you need them call Direct and there on within seconds.
The very cool thing with Direct TV is when you call them to add or delete stuff it is instant. You don't go through the whole wait a week to have some guy come install a fiter on your line...
Billing is automatic, they don't send a bill and want your CC number so I just gave them the AMEX so I can earn points
