Re: bah humbug
There's also building codes....I don't remember the details but in Queens I was prevented from installing a dish....something to do with the number of floors your building has....
And they are stolen everywhere...not just in the Ghetto...I lived in Astoria (which I notice you do now) for six years and I think my neighbor had his stolen three times.... |

AIUI, there are a few buildings where residents can choose between TWC and RCN -- but they're few and far between. (RCN is one of the only cable companies that doesn't require exclusive contracts with apartment owners/condo associations/co-op boards.)

Only if you're buying a multi-sat dish and then only if you buy retail.
Multi-sat dish at Radio Shack: $150

Round dish at Radio Shack: $50
»www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c···6%2D2608
Multi-sat dish on eBay: $100
»cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi···44041649
Round dish on eBay: $30

Just a couple of examples. Most have round dishes, though it still adds up if stolen multiple times. |

I paid $60 for dish and receiver. I declined the free install.
It has paid for itself already. |
