DTV for the win here.
We ditched our Dish Network a year ago and really hardly miss it. Aside from the $100/month we were paying for all of those channels, which rarely had anything I wanted to watch anyway, the DVRs were each consuming about 28W each on average 24/7, or about 40 kWh/month.
If we want to watch something else, we stream it or rent it. Otherwise, we read.
