We're trying to decide whether or not to switch from Cox to Dish. This has been truly helpful. We have had such issues with picture distortion and cable outages in our area. The jury is still out, but your input has been invaluable. Thanks for giving us your opinion! We’re trying to decide whether or not to switch from Cox to Dish. This has been truly helpful.

Modem or internet service is minimal $250.00 a month. So I call b.s on the satlight tv rep 1 Cable does not go off everytime a thunderstorm passes in front of the dish.

Your luxury entertainment provider isn't top notch?! It's hard for me to accept such a cruel, cruel world, for the fortunate and well-to-do.

I've heard of people living sheltered lives, but Holy crap! You haven't watched anything but public tv for a couple of years. Not only do I found that hard to believe, I find it insane! As for the post, I found it very informative. I've been back and forth myself with tv, phone and internet providers. Things always look good for the first month or two. Then once the new wears off and your locked into a contract, Woops, my bad! That's gonna cost you more if you want to keep that service. Like you said, they have us right where they want us! To our very strange individual who thinks $25.01 is just too much, I bet the gas prices are really getting to you. Are you walking now? How about a cell phone? Electricity? But I do see you obviously have internet! Is it dialup? Or are you using your neighbors signal? Wow man, you are my hero! Mr. Good Cents himself! C'ya Are you for real.

How much is that crap anyway? I call BS on all forms of pay tv. sat, cable, phone (that's a good one I don't understand *at all*), yada. I gave up the sat tv when they tried to raise my basic above $25/month. That was my limit so for a couple of years I've not had any tv except when I feel like pulling out the rabbit ears for some good local public broadcasting and that is rare. I could say I'm saving $25 or I could say I'm saving $100 or whatever price you're paying.
