Check out DISH's "This is how we do it" promo:
2 years with (IMO) a good HD DVR for $50/month. That's 190 channels, many in HD for $50/month. Are there a bunch of channels in that 190 that you or I won't be interested in watching? Yes. But is the rumored 25 channels for $40/month Apple bundle of channels likely mixed into that 190 too? Probably.
So, 25 channels for $40/month or 190 channels that probably includes those 25 for $50 with a DVR and free OTA local networks? Did I mention that the latter will not eat one byte of your broadband cap? Did I mention that it's very easy to hide upward of the 160 or so channels that "I'll never watch" so that only the 15-30 that I do want to watch would be all that shows in the on-screen guide?
So what's the downside besides the extra $10? In a multi-TV home, Dish will charge about $8 for additional boxes. But DISH also has a good iOS app that can airplay to

TVs hooked to those other TVs if one doesn't want to pay for additional boxes. I suspect a variation of their app will soon show up for

TV 4 so that one wouldn't even need to airplay.
It's not that I feel any particular love for DISH but, at least for me, I know which way I'm going even if Apple does roll out this 25-channels-for-$40 package in the next few months.
