Someone else on this forum complained that DirecTV wanted to charge $75 for a pole mount and another $75 for a cable run from the pole to the house. Don't bite. Free installation means free installation (unless you live in a tree house or some other non-traditional housing unit outside The Villages).

So far, I'm very happy to be rid of Comcast and I really like DirecTV.
Thanks for the current scoop, logdog. DirecTV's coming out here in the a.m. to install our dish - hopefully, we'll get the same deal as what you got! We've been with them for a couple of years back home - having the antenna installed here as a secondary service address so we can switch back and forth between service here and in OH. One service at two different addresses (though they can't be served concurrently)......all for no additional charge from what our normal monthly bill is with them. Woo-hoo!
