[mythtv-users] Dish gotchas?

[Michael Tiller]

I'm seriously considering a move to Dish Network in my attempt to get a
better picture than I currently get with analog cable.  I thought about
digital cable but it is really just analog cable for the channels I watch.

Are there any "gotchas" for Dish Network?  Is there a preferred receiver?
Obviously, I don't want a DVR unit but are there any important differences
in terms of channel changing, firewire potential, etc?

The main "downsides" I'm considering at the moment are:
1) Need for receiver on every TV
2) The fact that I'll still have to capture in analog mode with my PVR-150
(firewire?)
3) Hassles with getting program guide data?
4) Need to deal with IR blaster issues (both for MythTV and my mom's TiVo).

If I'm missing something (vs. analog cable), let me know.

Thanks for any assistance.
