Plusses:

- I don't think there are any committments to make. With DishNetwork or Directv I think you have to sign up for 2 years now.
- relatively cheap per month rates.
Correct no commitments but if you pay annually you get a discount just like big dish pricing.

All valid points. From what I see on the guide for X4 for English programming it looks like a good across the board selection. Do not know if you can do Ala Carte but would imagine so. I know what I have seen is package offerings but also know you can do a movie pack from that sat for slightly higher costs than doing the C Band versions. Do not know if you get as many channels though. I have not look specifically at X4 channel lineup as I usually only buy movie channels. Just know it is a loaded with channels sat along with music.
