Hey Dirty ,Maybe we just had a bad experience but we found ,after being told that similar programming to our existing package would be less expensive ,it was actaully going to cost more.
The guy who came to install left a birds nest of cables ,almost impossible to hide.
The picture sucked compared to cable.( I realise this can be subject to a number of variables but this is just our experience.
We have three T.V's and were told we would need a box for each one or only be able to watch the same Channel on each T.V. With cable we can at least get the basic channels without an extra box.
Finally we had a huge hassle getting our money refunded ( it was an offer we took up from the company we purchased our new T.V. from for a free trial with approx.$ 200 deposit on the equipment )
Despite having all the information regarding invoice numbers etc.They refused to make a simple phone call to confirm the details and we had to arrange for copies to be faxed before they agreed to cancel the amount outstanding.
All in all we just heaved a sigh of relief that we had not discontinued cable !!
As I said earlier ,this was just our story and I know there are plenty of people out there whom are perfectly happy with satellite dishes.
