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 switched to DirecTV since it had become cheaper than cable. (price had
gone up steadily since Comcast took over the local co-op) I love the fact
that I now have a dual-tuner Tivo instead of a single-tuner standalone one.
I like that I get Comedy Central on East Coast time, even though I'm on
the West Coast. I don't like that I have to plug the Tivo into the phone
(the standalone one I had before can use a network connection)

Is the $50 you mention the installation fee or the monthly cost?
If it's the installation fee, shop around. You can get free installation
for up to 4 rooms, at http://www.expertsatellite.com/ for example.
