Well, after a few months of paying a $100 sat bill and watching very little I decided that it was time to cut back or cut it off. I just did not seem to be getting my moneys worth.
I looked at keeping Directv, which I am VERY happy with (and have been since 2006) and just dropping down a package, but it seemed to net me very little in the way of savings as an existing customer. I also looked at getting them to give me a discount, which they always have in the past, but even then, the savings pale in comparison to what you can get as a new subscriber.
So, I did some looking. It appears that over a two year period, I can save right at $500. Now I am giving up some tuners versus my D* setup of 3 HRs, but I do not foresee many, if any conflicts, as I personally watch very little tv except sports (mainly football), the wife watches mostly during prime time, which this covers, and our daughter watches recorded content that usually records while nobody is home during the day.
Anyway, they are scheduled to do the install this saturday, they actually wanted to do it today, lol, I guess they are not busy in this area.
I am gonna give it a go and see how it is.
