DB is a hardcore TV addict. No joke, he has to watch TV when he is prepping dinner, or when he gets home, the first thing he will do is turn the TV on. We have a TV in the dining room now and we installed a dish TV a month after we moved in. I was kinda against it but then I thought since he is paying for the bill, I’d let it go.
Having satellite dish instead of cable has its advantages and disadvantages. I much prefer cable because when it rains or any bad weather, the cable will not lose signal. Satellite dishes do, however cable has fewer channels than satellite dish. The cable company we had frequented usually comes with a package with internet and or phone. However this time around we just wanted TV channels, no internet and what not. So DB stuck on with his favorite dish TV provider, Direct TV. I left it to him to settle this “TV” thing since he is the who will be watching the most.
Direct TV do offer a few direct satellite tv offers. There are quite a number of packages to pick from. I had already told him to pick the minimal but that fella still insist on some channels like Fox Sports North (FSN), ESPN, Western and FX and some other channels I can’t even remember. I cannot remember which package he picked, I think it’s the Choice package, since it was priced very reasonably and the channels he wanted are there.
Since DB is paying for all bills, I don’t really care what he wants to order for channels but I still want a moderate looking statement every month. Anyway, he told me since we are only getting two receivers, the bill will drop tremendously compare to four receivers. I have to agree that the statement is better looking and I do like how Direct TV have their tv pricing fair with other companies with the channels we have and the price we pay plus it includes all the local channels, too. I’m up for that.
