We do LOVE Direct TV, however, our bills obviously went up as you have to "rent" the four DVR's??? Not sure what they are called. It depends on how many rooms you have t.v. in............also, after seeing the High Definition television on our not so old sets..........he decided to go out and buy four flat screen very large t.v.'s..........and the "package" monthly for Direct TV is much higher than Comcast who we thought was overcharging us..................not sure if you get Direct TV or DishTV in TheVillages, but one last note............although we love it, everytime we have a thunder storm which has been every other day this summer..........we lose our signal to the satellite...............something we never had a problem with while having Comcast..............I know this is "off topic" but just thought I'd ask in a roundabout way...............can you get satellite TV in The Villages.....??

You can get satellite TV anywhere in the world you have power, pretty much. Even ships at sea can pull in satellite TV, although not many stations. Maybe at the two poles you only get "snow" - but it's pretty to watch!
To answer your question both Direct TV and Dish Network will mail you an "unbeatable offer"
about every other day if you live in The Villages - financial services people do it
daily and even buy you lunch.
Just threaten to switch to a TV competitor and watch your rates drop for a year.
