Ronbo,
I don't buy my satellite receivers. I lease them and they have a $5.95 a month maintenance agreement which I also get. So far they have changed out two of them for me at no cost. I do have the option to buy but just don't see why I should and then if something goes wrong I have to pay for it. As for all the stuff about Hi DEf and everything, I won't be here when that is finally settled. As for the billions in Coax maintenance and installation, that is why this cable company had to sell to a large one as they did not maintain the cable and the TV was off half the time. Now with their better improved service you can see the talk and buy channels well, but everything else is a pay extra type and the service is just as lousy. As for Fiber optic, the only cables we will ever see here are the ones that they started putting between the computers to link them. I don't believe that people in this area will ever see the day they run fiber to the homes.
Ron
