Wasn't sure what forum to put this in
Anyway, I'm paing $170 a month for my cable service. Included is my cable modem (which is like $40 a month), and my phone service (I'd say $30 a month), which leaves around $100 for Digital Cable on 2 TVs, with every pay movie station available. Basically, it's getting too expensive. Not that I can't afford it but I really feel that what I get really isn't worth the price I'm paying. (I'm especially POed about them saying how it's digital and all, but it's got all analog connections and when I called about it once the people didn't know what the heck I was talking about)
So, I know that there's satelite receivers that can do component video and optical audio connections and all that stuff, and that's really the type of stuff I want connected to my home theater (and maybe a basic box for the other TV would be fine)
If I were to switch to a satelite, after it's all installed, about how much does DirectTV with all of the channels cost per month, for 2 TVs? Would I really be saving or should I just stick with wannabe-digital cable? I don't want to just save like $10, for that I'd just stick with what I have till I move someday
