Anyone have it? What are your impressions? Costs? Problems?
It turns out I can get free programming (single receiver) through the company I work for, as long as I buy the dish and receiver.
As an IT guy, my preference is hard-wiring, which in this case means cable. I'd have to stay with cable for internet service, but if the DirecTV service is "good enough", I might be able to save a few $$$ off the cable bill.
Around here, Time Warner just bent us over for another $3 monthly. It's gone up at least $10 in the last 18 months. I know that's mostly due to the additional programming choices, HD/digital, etc., but I don't subscribe to any of that, so I'm not seeing any benefit for my added $$$. :808993-banghead:
