There is another option. (as long as you don’t care about the Yankees or NFL ticket)
If you don’t care about those two things, then Dish Network will most likely be the cheapest alternative. The DTV wiring can easily manipulated to allow a Dish Network system to work without much change.
i have directv with hd package no dvr i hd receiver 2 reg receivers and no premium channels for $56/month. add on roadrunner lite for $15/month. after taxes it’s about $80/month for directv/internet.
Time Warner’s HD selection blows. I know you don’t need it now but with all the dog shit you’re going to clean up this spring you’ll be able to buy that HDTV in no time. Why not just go DirecTV now and save yourself the hassle of switching?
