Everyone seems to offer cheap or free DirectTV systems but require at least 1yr service contract and premium service. Anyone seen ads for good deal to buy equipment only w/o service?


Thanks. Love.

eBay is a good place along with checking the newspaper, garage sales, etc.

When I bought my 1 room Directv system about a year and a half ago it cost me $99 with free install at Radio Shack
and that was with no commitment. Which was good because a few months in the cable company screwed up and
started giving me all the cable for only the basic $14 price so I cancelled the Directv. Then the neighbor moved and
they fixed the box so I had to go back to Directv after about a year free cable.

Tomorrow I am going with digital cable for the whole thing since I got a hdtv and dont want to buy a $500 box for
satellite. The cable company is giving me $150 for the system so Im happy :)

Yea, but how many of those channels are really digital... that's what the cable company doesn't want you to know.

Last year BlockBuster Video had a promotion. Free installation and equipment. No contract needed AT ALL. You need to find something like that. Oh and by theway, post these in th "I WANNA" thread.
