TV pretty much sucks; just get high speed internet. Most of what you’ll want to watch is available on the Net or by way of Netflix. More and more, we listen to a.m. radio for sports.
I install both Dish Network and DirecTV. If it were my money, I would go with DirecTV. Hands down better equipment and they have much higher standards for your equipment to pass initial setup standards. Dish Network does not have such high standards. What this means is the tech who is going to install your satellite has much more training than the Dish Network guy. It also means your dish will be aligned properly and you will experience very little signal loss. I highly recommend going with HD service and that people get a DVR so you can watch what the heck you want to watch when you want to watch it. If you want to get a referral code, you can use the following number: 1-888-869-0616 Use Promo Code “26962” and this will get you a Visa check card for $100 and a friend a Visa Check Card for $100. If you do not know of anybody who has DirecTV, see if Jim (owner of Free Republic) has it and send the offer to him as a thank you. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a private reply.
