I have Dish. I don't have bundles. I can choose tiers, 1,2, and 3. I have
tier 2 with about 200 channels. The majority of the good channels are on
tier 2. There are some on tier 3 I wouldn't mind having but I can live
without. Then you can add the premium movie channels to which ever tier you
want.
