I posted this elsewhere, but we discontinued our Dish last year just before Christmas. I made an HD over the air antenna, and bought a capture card and 1.5TB HDD for our desktop. We record anything we like on local channels, and then use Hulu and Netflix to catch up on whatever else.
Saves a ton of money.
(We use a program called PlayOn to stream Hulu and YouTube and some other stuff to the ol' 360)
