Default and the answer is . . . . it depends

We are moving down this fall, have had basic Comcast in our villa which we've been renting out for 4 years. No problems at all with Comcast, although the price is up to around $65/mo but we are huge OSU, Cleveland Indians, and Cincinnati Reds fans and they had no real options

So - when Ohioboy checked the options with Dish and Direct TV, he felt the only option was Dish - to get a package with the Big Ten network, SportsTime Ohio and Fox Sports Ohio - all necessities as far as he is concerned. We are planning on having it installed this fall, to take advantage of whatever freebies they are currently offering.

From everything I've read before on this site, seems like it will be a good idea to check out all the options (Comcast, Direct TV and Dish) again, just to try to beat down the price. We already have DSL internet thru CenturyLink, and a land line, and will probably get the triple threat package. The DSL has been fine - we have one of the higher, but not the highest, speeds (I think).

My only real concern is where they will want to put the dish, as I am NOT going to have it be the focus of my view from the lanai.
