Just a few years ago there was no such thing as a cheap
satellite TV system. A decent system cost anywhere from $2,000
to $10,000 for a satellite TV dish and the array of electronic
boxes that came with it. Not only that, it cost hundreds of
dollars to have a big-dish satellite TV system installed.
Today, because the satellite TV industry has become so
competitive, dealers are giving away satellite TV systems to
entice people to subscribe to their satellite TV service. Even
the installation is free.
So when it comes to finding a cheap TV system, you're in luck.
They're not just cheap, they're free.

The Bottom Line
Getting the cheapest price for satellite TV depends on whether
you want the cheapest service, or you want the cheapest price
per channel.
DISH Network has the cheapest satellite TV service. Their
starter package -- America's Top Sixty -- gives you 60 channels
of satellite TV programming, including your local channels, for
$31.99 per month.
DIRECTV's Total Choice program package offers the cheapest price
per channel at $0.31 per channel ($41.99 ÷ 135 channels). In
addition to 135 program channels, you also get your local
channels and 31 music channels.
If television is your primary form of entertainment and you
want a wide variety of shows, movies, sports, and news ... if
you're tired of fuzzy reception and want digital-quality picture
and sound ... if your cable bill is beginning to equal your
mortgage payment -- then I think you'll find satellite TV is a
real bargain.
