does any satellite TV service combo it with hi-speed internet? Or is that just dumb?

Dish has a package for $32/month that seems to have all the networks I want, like Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, Lifetime.

If you have Dish, do you like it?

I'm using rabbit ears for the past month since I moved. The reception sux. I had comcast hi-speed and that was good... I can dl the few shows and movies I'm intersted in, including Britcoms that aren't available here, like Spaced and Black Books.

The issue is I can't watch the sports I want without service. The NCAA tourney is coming in with static and I want to watch TdF and other cycling which'll hopefully be on OLN again.

Excellent! Next move is to get rid of the TV.

Just get cable internet, get a splitter and run one cable to your TV and call it a day.

:stupid:

Someone on this board said that they can't split the basic cable signal from the high-speed internet signal, so you get basic for free when you get internet. All you have to do is run a cable to the T.V.

Of course, I haven't done this, because I hate T.V.* :rolleyes:

-S.S.-

*More likely it's because I'm a lazy focker.

Of course, you can't normally sign up for just cable internet service without basic cable tv... and if you can, it usually costs what you'd pay for basic cable + internet.

I just spoke with 'em and you apparently can get internet without cable and it costs $10/month more.
