No more cable

by clydem , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: No Local Channels
Well I got tired of paying for cable and not getting that many channels for the price and the quality of picture and sound. It would go out for 2 to 3 hours and 2 to as many as 5 time a month. So I decided to look into DirecTV Satellite. I found a deal...

Cable's Worst Nightmare

by mcjester , May 20 '00
Pros: Great picture, more channels, good price
Cons: Equipment a hefty one-time fee, local channels cost (a bit) more, can't get local PBS
Since getting DirecTV, we've cancelled our cable, because there's no reason for us to hold onto it. We can get our four major network affiliates for a paltry $5 more per month, and all we lose is a few local independent channels we never watched...

Pros: rates stay the same
Cons: no local channels
Almost 2 years ago is when I switched from cable to satellite television. The reason I changed was because every time I turned around the cable company was raising the rates. I got tired of it and started to shop around.

I found my best deal...
