Bag the cable company. ANY cable company. For $500 or less, get mini
dish, a year's sub, and at least 50 channels. base rate after the first
year is $25/month. Get 4 HBO's for $10/month, networks for $4/ month.
I've got an Echostar DISH network system and will NEVER go back! See
alt.dbs.echostar for ongoing discussion on this system. Lowest monthly
rate, NICE tech reps. Only way to go.

And no, I don't work there. Just a happy customer.
