| Cable in my area is a high-priced joke, so I got DirecTV. You can't beat it for the price. |

The higher the prices for broadband in your area, the more companies you'll find making an effort to provide service. Well, at least in theory.

Which is exactly what I did about 3 years ago. Time Warner is the only cable co. in the area, and rates kept climbing. I just tired of being screwed, so I've been a DirecTV customer since..... |

The bitch is that I can't watch my local sports teams play without Comcast cable. Can't do it with satellite. Feels like Comcast is the one hitting me with a hammer. |

| Why not? The only network you wouldn't get is YES. |

Cherry Hill, NJ | Comcast philly doesn't make their Comcast Sportsnet channel - which broadcasts 90% of all Sixers, Flyers, & Phillies games - available to satellite providers. These games are also blacked out when subscribing to sports packages via the satellite provider. |

Umm.. many residents that live in apartments cannot get satellite due to restrictions on installing the dish. |

| Actually the FCC says differently. |

The FCC grants you the right to put a dish in common property, but if you have no view of the south you are NOT allowed to just put a dish anywhere on the apartment complex's property.

stick a pole in a 5 gallon bucket of cement and mount the dish on it. Point it out the southern window. |
