I'd like to hear from various customers of all the different methods of
receiving TV stations regarding cost and service satisfaction. I heard there
is a current sale with Direct TV where you get service and install on 4 TV's
for $50. I don't know if this is as good as it sounds or if the sale is still
even on. Any replies are appreciated. Also does the best system depend on
geographic area? I'm in Phila. PA area. Sherry


I've got Directv and am happy with it. I've been with them for about 10 years
now and have only had a few episodes of signal fade due to extremely heavy
rainfall. Frankly, Cablevision had more service outages.

You should be able to find installation of four receivers for free if you're a
new customer. $50 would buy you TIVO for one of those receivers if you wanted
that. But for just four ordinary receivers: free. Of course, you'll have to
obligate yourself to a service contract for a year, but so what? You've got to
get your content from somebody, right?

Seeing as how you live in a city, you'll be able to get your local stations on
Directv. Not all markets do, but if Wilmington, NC can, I know Philadelphia
will.
