the fewer tv's you have on it the better the price is.

i have dish and considered switching to comcast, but it was more expensive for less channels. you can get dish's basic that comes w/ a couple premium channels embedded in (i think a channel or two of encore and tmc) for like $40 or $50. what kills you on satellite is you get charged like $5 for each extra tv and box.

when i only had 2 tv's in the house i had the everything package (there was always something to watch), 30 premium channels plus the largest regular line up and it was less than $100. the more you take the bigger the discount.

directv PWNS!! I never lost signal, well, the only time I lost signal was when it snowed like 6 inches, but all I did was go take off all the snow off the dish and its good to go.

i used to install directv, voom, and dishnetwork. as long as the intaller aims it good and doesnt do a half assed job, like when i aimed a dish through some bare trees noing they will loose signal in the spring when they fill out, it works like 98% of the time. i lost signal once or twice in the year i had it. it was only for a few minutes during really bad storms.

and comcast is way expensive. i get free cable
