Free Satellite TV Systems -- No kidding!

You might think there are no real, honest-to-goodness free satellite TV systems, but you'd be wrong. You can get satellite television in no time for no installation fee and no cost for the dish system -- ever. Sure, the programming may cost a little each month, but no more than cable television does. And, despite the claims of the cable industry, a satellite television service like directtv easily rivals cable television in service, quality, clarity, and programming. And most systems include all the local channels.

Dish Network and Direct TV

The two biggest satellite television providers in the US are household names: Dish Network and Direct TV. Both providers offer packages with prices lower than most cable packages. DirectTV, for example, offers packages starting for as little as $29.00 a month, with DishNetwork coming in at $19.99 a month. What's more, both DirecTV and DishNetwork often have special offers that let you get started with a few free or low-priced months of programming. And remember, you never have to pay a cent for the system equipment, which in most cases is installed the day after you call.

And if I want more than the basics?

Satellite TV is all about choice. If you can afford more, both Dish Network and Direct TV have just what you're looking for. Not only can you get local television channels and premium channels like HBO and Showtime, you can opt to purchase season-long sports packages that let you see all your favorite ballgames. You can even get international programs. Ask yourself: how much is a great satellite system like this one worth? Well, whatever it's worth to you, there's no set-up price better than free!
