Houses are wired for either cable or tv connection.
Have Direct TV using cable connection and needed to have comcast supply a new line for internet - cost was $52.95 and they were able to go through attic.
Installer told me if attic was cluttered they would have needed to drill a hole in side of house. Sure didn't want that, keep attic accessible for room you need internet in.

We have a CYV bought new in July and it was prewired for cable and telephone. Century Link has our home phone and internet. The internet is called 'to the curb', no modem is required. We had a phone jack at the end of the kitchen bar and I said that's where I want my router. So he made a second jack, one for a telephone and one for a router and I can take my notebook computer anywhere in the house. Total installation about 90 minutes.

Directv connected the satellite dish to the already installed coaxial cable and we have HD TV in the living room and MBR. Installation took about two hours.

My triple play for $119 has no contract. You don't like it after 30 days they take it out. No harm trying it out.

Default OK

Like the idea of no long term contract. That makes it easier.

If you go over the trial peroid does it them go into a contract or is it Month to Month Jim

Month to month as long as you like. Lot of the competition uses this vehicle to make Comcast look bad. You have to due your own research. They are hard to beat for the convenience and price.

Welcome to TV...............and TOTV!!

Unless you want to deal with a DirecTV reseller, you're best to call their national 800 number for starting your service - - - 1-888-777-2454

Or for general questions, contact Customer Service - - - 1-800-531-5000

If you'd like to find a local retailer - - - DIRECTV - Find a Retailer Scroll down for their Retailer Search.

Smile comcast

We are getting CenturyLink for our fiber instead of Direct TV and Comcast. We were told that Fios is not in The Villages area but CenturyLink has fiber. Our friends just switched and their TV picture is so much clearer looking than Comcast. You can record 4 TV shows and watch one at the same time.
