    Aug 26 '02
    Pros: Much cheaper than cable, wider selection of channels
    Cons: Lack Of Local channels

    Summary: When the price of regular basic cable in my town started to approach $50 a month, I knew I had to do something. I had always seen satellite ads and had friends with "the dish" but for some reason was always a bit leery. I would flirt with it and let ... read more

  • Cable will never get my money again!

    Jul 29 '02
    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

  • So many channels

    Oct 27 '01
    Pros: So much to choose from, get great picture and sound.

  • I want my Time Warner Digital Cable back!

    Oct 07 '01
    Pros: If you're a sports fan, you probably can't do better.
    Cons: No Star Trek Enterprise, Poor user interface, constant black-outs

    Summary: I had Time Warner Digital Cable in my old building and my new building only offers DirecTV. Initially I thought this was a great thing - hundreds of channels, more so than Time Warner Digital Cable. But now I see the problems after a month of usage. ... read more

  • Ultimate TV!

    May 09 '01
    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. Anyway, I installed it myself, as I'm pretty handy and have been in TV bliss ever since. Let me explain why.... ... read more

  • The REAL deal on this DTV stuff!

    Apr 21 '01
    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
