I have had directv since 97 and love it. I forget what the current rate is around 42-45 with the family package, and locals too. I also have comcast internet and don't have the expanded basic or better. I think they make you pay like 57.95 if you don't have any cable tv service at all. I believe I pay 42.95 for internet and 9.00 and change for the very basic 4,5,7 38, 56 etc. If I want to drop the basic (9.00) I will have to pay 57.95. which is more than the ~51 I am paying now so I am sort of locked into keeping basic. Which if I even cared about you can get anyway because it is sent into the house with the cable internet. THere are a bunch of ways of looking at it, so I pay 51 with internet and basic(which I don't use) or 57 for internet alone.
Confused?
Exept for extremely heavy rains, Directv is great! THey don't raise thier prices every january like comcast and picture and sound are great. I am still using same sony reciever I bought back in 97.
I am even happier now that I bought a sony HX-715 Hard disk recorder. It is like a tivo with no subscription. It will work my sony directv recorder and digitally record anything, and you can offload to dvd discs to permanently save stuff
