We chose OUR Services - for our new home -Closing 2/5- in Gilchrist. Did a lot of research incl on TOTV, a rich resource, thanks.
Our Choices:

Direct TV. $56.99 + taxes/mo for 1st year, then about $86.99 for the 2nd year. I had DTV previously and very satisfied. We signed up as a new customer under Phyllis' name as DTV has policy re resigning... We got the Choice package - which is middle/road and fine for us. HBO etc etc free for 3 mos, not a big deal for us and will cancel after the free period. I really did not want the sat dish, but cable TV choices stunk IMO and very $$$. Got the Genie whole house DVR with mini boxes for other 2 TVs.

Internet- Century Link. DTV had a bundle special. $39.99 mo - PLUS a $10 discount for bundling, a $10 credit/mo for DTV bill for first 12 mos. I will supply modem and wireless router, so no renting boxes. Modem - ordered new Cisco from Amazon, $26.

Phone- thnx to TOTV, found out about Ooma. Ordered unit thru Amazon = $128.00. Free, except pay monthly taxes - about $3.50 mo. Will pay for itself quickly.
