Same deal for me years ago. Wifey hits the scene, had to have her telenovelas, so in came Dish. No real complaints other than I hated paying for it. We just switched to U-verse this year and are loving it. We got free install, some Visa-debit cards, a year or so of heavy discounts, yada yada. Whole schmeer...fast Internet, lotsa channels, unlimited LD/phone plan.

Six months in, I'm very impressed with what AT&T has pulled off on our household. Between the 3-feature U-verse and our two iPhones, they're probably getting $3-4k/year out of us.

As much as I love the DVR feature, I love torrenting even more. I anticipate making a move to eliminate the U-verse TV soon, and maybe the phone too - give magic-jack a shot, or just stick to the iPhones (reception blows in the house, though).
