It has to be a major monsoon to lose it all, and if so it's not ususally for more than a few minutes.
Anybody doing this and if so what is best way to minimize the cost?

We have Directv but I bundle with Century Link for home phone and internet. We have phone with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block and internet without a modem (to the curb) at 10mpbs download speed. The two together is $59.99 plus tax, which comes to about $75 total. You have to live below CR466A to get brighthouse, otherwise it's Comcast and Century Link I believe is throughout.
If you're new with Directv you can get specials, for one you can give them my account number and we'll both get $100 off our bill. As far as bundling, I saw on my Directv homepage a discount for bundling but when I signed up with Century Link last year it was only $5 a month for me. They have NFL Sunday Ticket this year for only $199 but it doesn't include 'Red Zone', that's $100 more if you want that. Also right now they have a free HD-DVR ($199 value) then you pay $8 a month more for DVR service.
