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

that same man claims there is a choice for cable in Manhattan.
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.)

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....
thank you Lev. that same man claims there is a choice for cable in Manhattan. not one person I know had a choice and I know people all over. |
