As a Dish Network dealer since 99 I can tell you that the black out rules and DMA (designated market areas) are a pain in the rear. Dish Does offer a Fox Sports package for $4.99, where you can get just about every FOX sports channel. Again, you are still subject to the black out rules-so you will get little in the way of Professional Sports. You could always try it out for a month or two and if you don't like it all you have to do is drop it from you package line up ($5 downgrade fee).
As a side note for Dish Network Customers- they have improved there upgrade policy for customers wanting to add an additional or replacement receiver. Now for either $50, or $99 (depending on what you qualify for) , you get a choice of a standard receiver, DVR (digital video recorder-like TIVO)$4.98 mo. fee, or HD (High Definition) Receiver $9.99 HD pak, and this includes installation. If your wanting to add an additional receiver as a third reciever the upgrade includes the quad LNBF ($149 value) at no charge. Check with Dish Network or your orginal installing retailer for details.
