The home we recently purchase on beautiful Lake Martin does not offer cable TV access, therefore I am seeking recommendations on Satellite TV providers (Direct, Dish or other providers) in terms of:

· Satisfaction with overall quality of service
· Customer support
· Channel changing responsiveness
· Poor weather condition signal quality
· Local channel access, if any
· Price vs. features, number of channels, etc.
· Digital picture and sound quality for home theater system
· Ease of use / programming
· Any other thoughts / recommendations
· Internet connectivity, if anyone is using such

Also could you recommend an authorized reseller within Alex City or Dadeville?

Thank you in advance for your responses; they are most appreciated

There is ONLY one, Direct TV with TIVO. Record two at the same time, and even watch a third pre recorded all at the same time.

Trust me, i'm a TV junkie, and and electronics nut.

DIRECT TV WITH TIVO!!!

I don't think the others allow two shows at one time.

tell them it's a vacation home, I know the one I have for my Motor home is included for only $5.00 with my home residence service.

Or, get it for your home, buy an extra dish, don't tell anyone!!!!!

I started off with Direct but changed to Dish about four years ago because the programming was much better. I have been completely satisfied with them. I can't vouch for their customer support, because I've
never needed them. Unlike the old "big dish" satellites, channel changing responsiveness is almost instentaneous on both systems. Local channels are not available. I use a rotating rooftop antenna with good reception for Birmingham and Montgomery.
Go to www.dish-network-vs-direct-tv.com for a comprehensive comparison of price, etc.

PS: They both offer personal video recording (PVR)
