[MRP]

As a long time (15+ years) BUD user I'm thinking of moving to a small dish. As I have some interest in German programing I'm looking at Dish Networks as an option.
I haven't had any luck in finding out what the drive is to install the system myself vs. just have someone do it (other the aggravation factor and I get done the way I'd like it done). If I do install my own equipment who do I go to for a subscription, is this cheaper in the long run? I'm looking for a main viewing room with all the channels and 4 with just basics.
Any advice appreciated.
