Re: thinking about switching to satellite tv (??)
SBC sent me a package offer, phone service, DSL and satellite TV for one charge. The baby Bell in your area might have the same thing going.<br /><br />I am sticking with cable. The satellite had a habit of going out at inopportune times...like the middle of tornado warnings. <br /><br />I had satellite tv at my old house, it had to shoot through a mulberry tree for its signal, but was at 95%. I bought a new house 4 years ago, there are no trees in the whole neighborhood tall enough to block the signal. Best I could get was 85% and constantly lost the signal. Satellite company said thats too bad nothing we can do. Cable company is great, I get 3Mbs broadband, expanded digital cable and DVR for less than $100 a month.
