Satellite Service? Which one?

[Tobolo]

My girlfriends parents asked me to look into getting them a satellite service. They only have one tv and NEED a DVR feature. They also want someone (if possible) that can include internet in the package.

So whats the best rated and most liked service out there?

And which ones do internet?

Thanks,
Tob

I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere
No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest
Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it's because of you that now I can see
So now I can run. I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom
But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me


As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
S-S-S-Satellite

It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it
genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
I'll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
Hey thereâ?¦I see you

Personally, I hate satellite as it's been nothing but problems for me. Where do these people live? If they live somewhere where its rains and storms a lot, then they'll probably lose the satellite signal whenever they get a bad storm. I currently have DirecTV, but as soon as my contract is up I'll be ditching it for digital cable. In good faith, I can't reccomend any satellite service because to me, they all suck.

Forget about bundling Internet, get cable or DSL Internet.

Dish Networks -
- They have their own DVR that is not as good as TiVo
- You can use one receiver for two TVs, so you pay less rental fees

DirecTV
- Tivo for DVR. Tivo good.
- One TV per receiver.

Price them out for how much it would cost for your setup and the channels you want. If DirecTV is cheaper, get it. If Dish is cheaper, decide if DirecTV is worth it for the better DVR.

(I personally can't get satellite at my current house due to big-ass trees blocking the LOS to the satellite 🙁)

Properly installed dishes shouldn't have rain fade problems. My Mom and Dad have Dish and they've only lost the signal a couple times in the ~5 years they've had it
