    Directv deals for existing customer?

    I get very annoyed with service providers that offer better rates to new customers than they do to long time existing customers. As a potential new customer, I see how I will be treated once the honeymoon is over and much my business and loyalty means to them, not much. The cost of...

    Thanks schneid. I agree, especially with your last paragraph. That is the plan that I am working on right now, less the surround sound wiring. I am an old school, vintage actually, 2-channel stereo guy. I can do the home theatre surround sound wiring later when the time comes.

    Point me in the right direction?

    First off, sorry if this is yet another one of those newbie questions that has been asked and answered a thousand times. I have tried to do my homework but I am not sure that I have the right answer yet. I was just about to pull the plug on Comcast (can't wait to fire them!) and go with Dish...
