Alternatives to AT&T Cable TV?

[Braves]

I was taking my cough medicine when I noticed a couple sheets of paper on my dad's counter informing him that he would have to switch to AT&T Digital Cable soon if he wanted to continue to recieve HBO and a couple of other premium channel type things. We currently use a cable box thing with a crappy ass remote to get our HBO. To recieve HBO with the digital cable we'd have to pay about 10-20$ more then our current ~60$ I think. What's a good alternative to AT&T Cable, or is there a good AT&T Plan out there, or any hot deals on other cable services or satallite. Thx for any info

I would recommend DirecTV.

I recommend the rabbit ears.

is direcTV or TiVo expensive or difficult to setup? My parents are also unhappy with our image quality, because even after numerous house calls to AT&T a couple of our main channels (TNT, TBS, Fox, NBC, even HBO sometimes) are fuzzy enough to be unwatcheable.

TiVo is just a digital video recorder.

DirecTV can be cheaper than digital cable but they don't always carry all the local stations (usually just the major networks).

I love DTV. You can usually get a free setup deal by subscribing for a year. One of the reasons I like DTV is because they don't carry local stations (in my area). Network air television sucks.
