I recently moved back to Houston and close on a house in two weeks.  I have lived in cities outside of the blackout area for the last 6 years so I've always just gotten extra innings with my cable provider (Comcast).

I know that won't work here.  So I am exploring the best options for good HD cable/dish that also allow me to watch the Rangers on a regular basis.  The rental I'm in right now has comcast and I only get Ranger games when the Astros are off.

I'm pretty sure that Adam is a Directv guy, but are there other services like Dish Network or Att Uverse that offer the same amount of Ranger games and provide either cheaper or better (or both) service than Directv?

The Basics of what I'm looking for in order:

Ranger games (as many as possible)

HD content

DVR service

Cost

Internet - how do you folks using satellite manage internet?

Any help is greatly appreciated from those that actually have the service from these companies.  Honestly their websites aren't exactly helping me get the exact information I'm looking for and calling them is no better than me digging around on the net. 

Thanks.
