So, I am finally getting my own pad 🙂 The only question left… DirecTV or Cable? Those are the two options i have, and the wiring for both is installed and ready to go 🙂 I want DVR but not HD at the moment. I was looking at both websites, and I think I want to go with DirecTV. **Anyone here a supplier/seller/someone that can help/lower price/give advice?** Thanks 🙂 ---

Why do you not want HD? TV can’t support? ---

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. PM me if interested. I’m an installer. ---

every time I price it out time warner wins. what I need = all the normal HD channels + HBO and I also need high speed internet somehow. no phone needed. dish and direct always cost more because I have to get crap I’m not interested in. I’m paying $130 right now with TW. ---

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?
