I need advice on what to get to get the biggest bang for my buck and get NFL Network at the same time. Please advise?

Based on some of your previous posts, I assume you live in Topeka?

I don't see what the big deal is with going to the local office at 10th and Wanamaker and picking up a digital box. 

I'd get DirecTV, but I don't feel like shelling out the $$$ for an HD-DVR, something Cox provides me for a small rental fee.

I have no problems with digital cable in Topeka.  From what I hear its crap in Manhattan, here its fine.  Don't know how much it costs for just cable, but if you get the cable, internet and phone through them without cin/hbo/showtime it'll cost you less than $150 a month for all three and they usually have some kind of promo if you get all three.

    It's good to be good again!
I have Dish and have been very happy with it.  I picked dish over direct because they had the best sign-up special at the time.  Other than that I didn't see much real difference between the two.

I can't vouch for it but someone elsewhere said that Wal Mart has a 30-day no-hassle Dish Network trial.  Roll out the Wallyworld, pick up a Dish Network package, install said Dish, watch free Dish Network TV through bowl season, return dish to Wallyworld and get a refund.  Sounds like a plan to me.

Cox Digital Cable in Manhattan leaves something to be desired.  The channel selection is great but I still miss dish.  Dish gives you 100% pure digital audio and video and even though you have digital Cable through Cox not all of the channels are actually digital.  If you really don't care about picture and audio quality being as good as it can be then go with Cox.  Cox's advantage is their bundle which simply can't be beat if you need digital cable, digital phone, high speed internet.  IMO
