It certainly is worth it. Like was said earlier, you can practically get the dish for free, and can find the DSR-922 receivers on ebay for good prices. Here's a tip - drive around your neighborhood and go dish scouting. If you see one in someone's back yard, chances are fairly high that it's not being used anymore. Go up to the door and tell them that you'd be willing to disassemble the dish and get it out of their yard for free. Doing it this way, you could be pretty selective and find just the dish you want. I have a 10' mesh dish that I got that way, and I found my 922 on craigslist for $150. I went with NPS (National Programming Service) for my subscription. I hunted around online and they seemed to be the lowest cost. I also have a HDD-200 HDTV decoder hooked up to my system, but there aren't that many HD channels on DCII though, but for the ones that are there, it works great. If you want more hannels (both SD and HD,) look into getting an MPEG-2 DVB receiver that can do HD. You can piggyback it onto the 4dtv receiver. I've been more than happy with my system. Better picture quality than cable, and doesn't rainfade like Directv and Dish Net do.
