I get Dish Network. It offers up two choices, the "big amount" and "small amount." Big amount's a crapload of channels and small is a crapload of channels.
I get small and I don't find myself missing much.

The only channel I wouldn't mind getting is FX.

However it doesn't interfere with my normal channels(Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and PAX and all that), and I can also get "local" channels from other areas in the states(I get a station based in Colorado, one in new jersey area and another someplace around california).
