Name your town "Dish" for free TV

Since I live in a township and not a town, I'm not eligible for this one but you might be. If you can get your town to legally change its name to "Dish", you can win 10 years of satellite TV service from Dish Network. You have until November 1, 2005 to convince your local officials that the deal is worth it.

If you win, you'll have to add the HDTV programming package yourself because Dish is providing all town residents with their Top 60 package, i.e.: like basic cable. Then again, depending on where you live, you might get free HDTV via over-the-air (OTA) reception. Let us know if you think your town has a shot at this one; there are too many cows without TV in my area, but I'd love for a HD Beat reader to own this contest!
