We are moving to TV 7/31/12 in new home. Cable TV more expensive than Direct TV. Is it that important to have access to the TV channel for local news? That's the only reason I see to go cable.

Go with Directv and u will be much happier. As others have said if u want/need Internet and phone, go with Century Link. If you r going to move in south of 466A then Brighthouse is another option. Stay away from Comcast if you can.

Local news is Orlando.

OK. That's a great start for us newbies. Now, do we order directly from the internet or from a local store. If local, do you recommend one? Thanks!

We had Comcast when we first moved here 6 yrs ago. I thought The Villages channel was boring. There are many other ways to find out what's going on in TV. I know nothing about Brighthouse.

We have Verizon home phone, cell phone and internet and Direct TV.

It's hard to believe Comcast is our only option for cable television considering the number of households in TV. My preference is cable because I don't like the looks of a dish on my roof.
