An alternative is and it's associated costs are: Direct TV. We seriously like Direct TV but do not kid ourselves that we are beating the ripoff costs associated with TV Cable Vendors in The Villages. The monthly costs are $175 if you want the Sports package + 2 movie channels. Once the Sports package is deducted you save $41 or go to $134. Since Direct TV is the only one that allows you to have the Sports package it can't be compared to the others. Then you add a special way of gaining AT&T home phone is $20 plus $39.99 for Comcast Internet support. Total is $235 with Sports Package and $194 without.
That is reality. Of course we can see all the football games and baseball games with Direct TV which we like.
Just an idea of what the real costs are.
