we have DTV but you have to really watch it with them... they sneak sh!t upon you and you end up paying up the yang for it if you dont pay attention...

when you get the service, you will get 3 or 4 months of Showtime, Hbo, Starz and all that crap for free, like 45 movie channels, if you dont remember to cancel that before the expiration of the "promo" its like 50+ bucks a month for just those channels, on top of your "package price"...

also, they will give you a "free HD DVR", for a certian time, after that, they charge you 20 bucks a month for just that one device...

as for the service, i love it, the HD channels are great, they have been way cooler customer service wise than Comcast ever was... we are just about coming up on the 1st year here in a couple months, so i cant say whats gonna happen after that price wise, but i know that right now, its a good deal... we also had it at our cabin for about 4 years, and never had an issue there either with them...

just pay attention to when your promo ends, cancel things that were "free" before the trial expires, and you should be golden... DONT screw up on the contract tho if you agree to one, im not 100% but i think its 200 bucks for each month you have left if you terminate the contract early, which can be a hefty sum, and then any other cable company will make you pay a big ass deposit to them for service, because you are a liability..
