Poll: How many options do you have for HDTV programming?

We've already discussed just how many HD channels you swell folks have on your current provider, but with the frenetic (through not nearly frenetic enough) pace at which alternate mediums are expanding, we're curious to know just how many choices you have. Granted, most everyone here in the US has at least two -- DISH Network and DirecTV -- and those close to local towers can toss up an antenna for some of that beautiful OTA action. But there is a certain sect among us with numerous cable, satellite and even fiber providers jockeying for their business, and yes, the rest of us not in this elite circle are immensely jealous. Toss in your vote below, and feel free to let us know which providers are available in your neck of the woods.

I have three choices: (1) Dish Network, (2) DirecTV, and (3) RCN. I have Dish Network and I have to say that I very happy about CNN HD, USA HD, and SciFi HD all being added in the same week. Better bang for my buck.

I got a few choices myself:

OTA, DISH, DirecTV, TWC, EverestGT (Cable), at&t

I go with only OTA myself, I still cant find enough HD shows on cable/sat networks to justify a $50 bill/mo. The shows i do want to catch i can usually find on-line in decent quality, of course only legal means ;)

I always find in funny how if you look at all sources of TV which one has the most HD programs vs SD? The free choice! OTA!

#2) Dish Network (sat) -- my multichannel provider
#3) Direct TV (sat)
#4) AT&T U-Verse (IPTV)
