Cheap Satellite Tv -- Who Has The Best Deals?
By Brian Stevens
Just a few years ago there was no such thing as a cheap TV system. A decent system cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 for a TV dish and the array of electronic boxes that came with it. Not only that, it cost hundreds of dollars to have a big-dish TV system installed.

Today, because the TV industry has become so competitive, dealers are giving away TV systems to entice people to subscribe to their TV service. Even the installation is free.

So when it comes to finding a cheap TV system, you're in luck. They're not just cheap, they're free.

Satellite TV Systems

Here’s what you get when you subscribe to either DISH Network or DIRECTV's TV service:

* A free TV dish and mounting stand.
* Up to four free TV receivers plus universal remote controls.
* Free professional installation of your system in up to four rooms of your home.
* Free DVR (digital video recording) receivers so you can record your favorite programs.

Cheap TV Service

When it comes to TV service, you can pay anywhere from $19.99 a month for 40 channels of programming, on up to $74.99 a month for 350 channels.

* More than 250 program channels with digital-quality picture and sound.
* Up to 500 commercial-free movies per month.

The Bottom Line

Getting the cheapest price for TV depends on whether you want the cheapest service, or you want the cheapest price per channel.

DISH Network has the cheapest TV service. Their starter package -- Dish Family Pak -- gives you 40 channels of TV programming for $19.99 per month.

DIRECTV's Total Choice program package offers the cheapest price per channel at $0.27 per channel ($41.99 ÷ 155 channels).

If television is your primary form of entertainment and you want a wide variety of shows, movies, sports, and news ... if you're tired of fuzzy reception and want digital-quality picture and sound ... if your cable bill is beginning to equal your mortgage payment

-- then I think you'll find TV is a real bargain.
