Satellite Versus Cable Television



I have cable television. When I signed up, I got a deal for twelve months. I have my phone, internet, and cable bundled together for one bill each month. It is easier to keep track of just one bill each month, but I gotta tell you. When my twelve month deal is up in August, my cable bill is going to go up a lot. I need to start looking now for a better way to get all the channels I want.

Junior is wanting to go with a satellite. We looked into Dish Network, and right now they are offering an amazing deal. They have a package that is only $9.99 a month. I think the cable portion of my bill is about $55 a month, so I would be saving about $45 if I switched. There are so many things I could do with an extra $45 a month! They are even offering free HBO and Starz for three months, or five channels of Cinemax for a penny a month for twelve months.

If you order now, they are also giving away some pretty cool free gifts, like an apple iPod with 50 free music downloads, a digital camera, or a digital picture frame. I have been wanting one of those digital picture frames, so that is just an extra incentive for me to give in and let Junior get his satellite.

That is what we have...Dish network. We have one of the HD packages so that is why we don't have Nick currently ;) But it's being added by April 1st supposedly.

I LOVE my DVR so I don't have to watch ANY commercials anymore.
