The real rip off is CABLEVISION in NYC, I pay $175 monthly for family package, 3 rented boxes, plus high speed internet.
Wish I could switch to DISH or Directv.

...My understanding was that both services have their sats
at 22,300 to 23,000 miles in orbit. They may have more or less,
or "better" or "different" sats, but I think the orbit distance is
pretty similar...
I'd love to see a link that suggests Direct is "closer" and thus,
"stronger".
