I have had a dish since December 2002 and the service went from around $37.95 to now up to $52.00 total with all the taxes and phony fees thrown in.

I live in Southeast Florida. What other cheaper alternatives exist for decent programming that includes kid channels, Turner Classic Movies, History, A&E, TNT, etc.

I understand that they have to start offering a la carte channels instead of loading up stupid channels that nobody watches.

DirecTV ?

DirecTV ?

DISH Network

No, I was suggesting DirecTV as an alternative to DISH Network. Plus, you can get Tivo with DirecTV. I know many people who swear by DirecTV.

I will look into it because these people have burned their bridges with me. Every time there is a thunderstorm the thing goes off for a short time.

Oh, you will have the same problem with DirecTV then, though maybe to a lesser degree. Satellites lose reception for a short while whenever weather gets bad.

I'd look at digital cable since T-storm reception is your problem.

I will stick with cable if this is what satallite does. Roadrunner works well.

Does anybody know what all the alternatives are for my area, SE Fla.

cable or sat, they have you by the nuts. its why i don't have either, but i seem to have 45 bucks a month available for internet...HMMMM

either is running about 50 bucks a month seemingly. for basic. bend down and take it like a man, no matter where you get your tv, you'll end up taking it in the shorts.......
