Good question. I ran into a similar problem with DirecTV.  I was totally satisfied with their service but when they started advertising a 4 room system with 2 receivers and DVR for a special price that was only available to new subscribers I called and asked about it,  They told me they couldn't do anything for me except sell me the extra equipment...no price break.  I cancelled and went to Dish...same package for $20/mo. less.\nYou might want to shop around if your service agreement is almost up and if you get a better deal, take it!

Yes.\nHere are some options:\n\nCABLE  \nRequires professional installation of coaxial cable, cable boxes, splitters etc. \n\nPros - Fast download speeds, most cases wiring is already in place, less costly package deals available if purchased w/ phone and tv programming.\n\nCons - Slightly more expensive than DSL\n*Contact your local cable provider.\n\nSATELLITE\nRequires professional installation of a small dish w/ ability to send and receive signals. \n\nPros - Makes internet accessible to remote or rural areas where DSL or Cable access is not available.\n\nCons - Most costly of all options. Download speeds limited. Telephone line needed for initial setup in most cases.\n*Contact Dish Network, DirectTV or your local provider\n\nWIRELESS\nMany municipalities across the country provide or have plans to provide, free wireless access. Your town may fall into this category. Check with your city hall.\n\nHOTSPOTS\nFree - local restaurants, snack shops, bookstores and coffee houses. \n*While using a vendor's free "hotspot," be sure to make a purchase...it will keep you in their good graces and insure that you'll be welcome on your next visit. \n\nCommercial - Requires a subscriber fee or paid account. Some  offer "Pay As You Go" options similar to cellphone offerings.\n\nShared - Neighbor (within 150 ft.) with internet and  wireless router or AP. Offer to pay a small fee to share neighbor's broadband via his/her AP. Just make certain that you both "turn off disk sharing" services and that the arrangement does not violate any provider defined "terms of service."

My hubby works for a cable company.  He is always running into people stealing cable.  Actually he makes most of his money turning them in and re-selling to them.  \nIt's easy to spot and I don't recommend anyone doing it.\n\nYou may say that it was on when you moved in but a good persistant sales guy will keep checking to see if you have reconnected and keep cutting the lines back until you either pay or get satillite.  There are a few honest people left.

Call me crazy but I have both.   DirecTV for the Football, Cablevision because I have the VOIP & Internet.  \n\nI must say though, nothing beats DirecTV with Tivo!

i don't know -- direct tv wanted a $300 security deposit cuz they do a credit check, but you get $10 off your bill every month for 30 months if you stay current

although directtvnetworks.com does have a lot of stations (boasting 2500+), most of them are not worth watching ie: college stations, public access, religious channels, home shopping and crappy music video channels. of these 2500+ stations, only about 200 are US ones. the rest are international, ranging from malaysia to slovenia to vatican city to senegal. additionally, international connectivity is not even guaranteed, depending on the speed of the country's server and signal distance. many of the channels don't work and some will even crash whatever media player you're using.\n\ndirecttvnetworks, however, does have a lot of news networks. legit ones like ABC news and CNBC. in my opinion, not enough for it to be worth it.\n\nit's only $2 a month or so but it's because the channels are free anyway so what you're paying for is the tidy interface. additionally, there is also a $50 1 year minimum subscription requirement.\n\nin so few words, don't do it. it's a waste of money. i hope this was helpful. : )

Ok, your sentence fragment leaves us wondering what you want.\nI assume you are looking to get either dish or Direct TV?\nBoth have similar programming.  If you want HD you will need to ask each company what their plans are for adding programming to that effect.

Cable, Wireless if there's a company in your area, or satellite Dish.  \n\nDirecway is the most popular right now, it's not part of Directv, but it's owned by the same company.  It uses a larger dish than the TV and has a microwave transmitter so it needs to be out of reach of people.  Not dangerous but it has the potential to be.  It uses an adapter (modem) that connects to your computer via ethernet cable so you need an ethernet card, and windows 98 or above supports it.  There is no longer any software involved so nothing is done to your computer except maybe get rid of old software from DSL or cable that sometimes won't allow it, and disabling the firewall for  the computer to pick it up.\n\nThere's also a company called "wild blue".  They are new but seem to have a very good product.  Roughly the same idea as direcway.\n\nDirecway can be roof mounted, wall mounted only if the dish can be up high enough and facing the satellite in space (there are several), and pole mounted by a professional installer only due to the safety concerns.
