DirecTV Is Terrific!
You only need one dish. The DirecTV rep was very accomodating in placing it on my roof, out of sight from the street. If you order a DVR (digital video recorder) and if you wish to watch one program while recording another, you will need two cable lines from the dish to the location where you want the DVR. (Standard Villages construction is one cable line per room.) DirecTV will pull that extra line for a modest additional charge.
The breadth of service from DirecTV, particularly their high definition channels, leaves Comcast in their dust. I didn't spend a lot of time doing price comparisons, but I think the comparative monthly charges between the two are quite comparable. Once you drop Comcast cable TV, they will jack up the cost of their broadband connection to something like $65 a month.
And yes, the Big Ten Network is even better than I thought it would be.
