No more TWC for the ScoobMaster household (except for my roadrunner cable modem, but that is only because I get a discount through work ;) )

I bought an RCA two-receiver system from TheSatelliteGuy.com that included an 18" dish, one DRD430RG receiver, one DRD450RG (dolby digital) receiver, and a full install kit (hardware and RG6 coax cable) for $39.99 shipped! Add to that free HBO & Cinemax for 3 months AND I get $50 credit on my account - GREAT DEAL!!!
It only took my friend and I about 3 hours to do it (and we are satellite rookies ;) ). The hard parts were drilling the four mounting holes for the dish in my brick wall (with a 12-volt cordless Ryobi - my aching arm - ouch!) and then running the cables into the house (lucky to have the opening from an old & no longer used electrical service through my foundation). 15 minutes of tuning time and I have a constant 91% signal strength!
The picture quality is FAR BETTER than the analog cable, and the sound is MUCH improved (finally, real dolby digital surround to my JVC home theater)!

And the best part - goodbye inferior quality TWC @ $42/month, hello beautiful digital picture and sound at $36.89/month :) :)

Now Now, Valhalla - I will have you know that I am an honest person - I do not wish to do anything illegal or immoral.

Zorro: No way, I am a family man. (I even had to go to the DTV website to see what was listed for 596 - I don't have that thankfully.)

In other words, it's too late for him. Ya gotta get DTV when you're in your 20s and still unmarried. ;)

Hey - being married CAN be a wonderful thing. My wife and I will celebrate our 7th anniversary on the 22nd, and we are still VERY much in love!!! We have plenty of fun together - in ALL definitions of the word ;)

It is probably a good thing for me that access to X-rated material was not as easy and widespread when I was in my late teens and early 20s (hey, I traded nudie magazines and such with friends - but it was not EASY to get access;) )
If I had had easy access to all the stuff teens do today, I might have made a mistake before I met my wife and got married!

595 is in full effect at my place. My wife is the one that ordered it.

The lady in DirecTV Customer Service was like, "You want to order what?! :Q "
