Patty, my tv package includes 200+ channels, HBO, Showtime, Starz, and now Cinemax/Sports; plus a DVR. Phone is unlimited nationwide from home. Total for all three mentioned above with tax/fees is $175/mo. Yours includes cell. My cell is a separate $15/mo prepaid.

No cable for me yet....The installer wouldn't install the demark box where I wanted it (even thou the last cable company put their box there) so I am waiting till Wednesday before I sign up with DirecTV again.
The installer wanted to install the box on the side of the house and run cable half way around the house to connect to my cables. I have seen their work and it looks like @%$#!

I have to admit their call centers sometimes drive me nuts. Yesterday they said the new package would result in a $17 increase; today when I made the switch they said it would be $10. I even challenged them on it; was that including everything? Only after the first bill will I know for sure. BTW, earlier I mentioned my cell phone was $15; that's true but that's every 3 months, so it's only $5/mo.

where would you like to have the demark installed at if not on the side of the house?
The supervisor came out today and said that they could mount it where I wanted it but there was no way to ground it but I called his bluff. There is a 10' ground rod directly below the position. He finally relented and the installer is coming tomorrow.
BTW, he also wanted to mount it on the side of the house and ground it to a faucet that in run in plastic pipe!?!?

I wanted it installed on the rear of the house. This is where my antenna tower is and it is where all of the interior cables are terminated.

For the record, Comcast is not the problem. I am dealing with Time Warner.
All of the distribution systems in our neighborhood are aerial. I have felt all along that there was no problem with what I wanted done, I just got an installer that didn't want to do the job.
