We got Tailgater and we really like it. Simple to hook up - took a good long while to get the account set up on the phone! Dish has a good selection of programming and you can do some ala carte - so we are able to get one of the Denver channels and don't feel like we're completely out of the loop. I think Tailgater advertises that it's only available in the Lower 48. Got our receiver and antenna box through amazon.com - merchandiser in New Jersey. Came in five days and was about $100 cheaper than advertised. We had DirecTV last year and absolutely hated them. Lousy customer service.
