Cons: Lack Of Local channels

Pros: Outstanding picture quality and sound.
Great channel lineup.
Priced cheaper than cable.
Cons: Getting used to the new channel numbers, 200 through 900.
Summary: The directv satelite system is definitely worth your consideration. I was fed up with high cable bills, poor picture quality and frequent outages. I now pay $10 less per month and receive more channels with much better picture quality and sound. I have ... read more

Cons: bad weather can block out the signal

Pros: The best TV money can buy.
Cons: If you don't go with the best package, you may as well stay with cable.
Summary: I've had my Hughes Direct TV system now for about two years. I purchased it off ubid.com for $9 + $30 shipping, I know, great deal.

Pros: More channels for less money
Cons: a storm can disrupt the signal
Summary: Okay, here's the real deal. The dish is good, but at $129, you're getting robbed. Sure, you could go to any electronics shop and pick it up for that price. I'm not an affiliate for Blockbuster Video at all, but the honest truth is, you can get a ... read more
