Rue, have you checked out DishNetwork? That's who I go with, and they are usally cheaper than Direct TV.

Direct TV wanted to charge us $15 more (once the introductory offer concluded) for virtually the same package.

what if in the rare case they don't want satellite or even cable tv? i know it's rare, but i know a few folks like that, even know a few that don't even own a tv.

I very nearly became a Dish customer when they were offering their HD-only packages in the $25-50 range. I probably would now if they still had them, but they scrapped them for some reason. Not interested in paying for any SD content.

I have thought about going back to Comcast so I can get the Liberty channel again and watch more Flames sports, but I think I would miss the way you can see what is on each channel at the top of the screen on DirecTV. I never could stand channel 99 waiting for the channel I wanted to see what was on to come scrolling across the screen. I have internet through Comcast so maybe I could get a better deal by looking into a bundle deal.

if you have the digital box you have that guide. Thats part of why i switched, my digital box broke and i spent 3 months talking to comcast about when they would fix it, and they never did and yada yada yada.
