Is satellite TV service still worth it?

<div><p>For customers looking for access to more channel variety and better DVR capability, satellite TV service is absolutely still worth it. When you consider that the cost of cable TV service averages $65 per month, the $70 per month you’d pay for satellite TV seems like an obvious choice, especially since the service is considered superior by most customers. Plus, satellite TV is available in far more areas than cable TV, so it’s not only worthwhile but sometimes the only option for customers in rural areas.</p></div>

I think what Windstream does is provide land line and internet. Then they piggyback dish. I can't think of any problems that we've had. I've been with them for three and a half years. I guess the telephone service isn't extremely expensive. But when you tax this and insure that and put a fee on...
