What do you mean spread to satellite?
You have been able to get free installs for awhile now.
Every time I have looked into getting satellite based HD service I have always been asked to buy the boxes. I don't know if that is still the case now though, as I have not looked in the past few months, so maybe things have changed.

Let's go on the assumption that I would still have to purchase the equipment. Even if I got the one box at a discount I would to purchase at least 2. That alone would mean a significant outflow of cash out of my pocket.

On top of that, if I decided I did not like the service, then I would be stuck with a box that would not work with any other provider.

Actually with the way DirecTV and Dish work, you have to return the receivers. You're not buying them, you're leasing them.
