Draconator Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I am somewhat considering getting a new satellite dish, but I don't want Direct TV. I like watching newscasts from other markets, and basically select what I would like to watch, not choosing what some package offers. I watched a Bills game off of Satellite about 12 years ago, and Dan Dierdorf was drunk off his ass! It was hilarious. Anyone have any ideas? Tips? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild feeds, naked ladies, Al Goldstein's Screw Magazine show (later 80's), etc. Porno (XXXctasy), HBO, led the change (scrambling along with the videocipher from MA Comm - sold to GI).... Alas, those days were glorious but unfortunately are now only a distant memory. (drawback - large and expensive equipment required). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Your two choices are basically DirecTV or Dish. DirecTV has better hardware, better quality, better customer service. Dish is cheaper (by around $10/month I think). Both are good solutions. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great price, they have never raised my rates and lose reception very rarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 If you want the NFL games then you have to get DirectTV. I've seen the Dish network and it sucks. DirectTV is better all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
