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, youre in luck. Theyre not just cheap, theyre free.
Satellite TV Systems
Heres what you get when you subscribe to either DISH Network or DIRECTVs satellite TV service:
* A free satellite TV dish and mounting stand.
* Up to four free satellite TV receivers plus universal remote controls.

* Free DVR (digital video recording) receivers so you can record your favorite programs.
* HDTV satellite TV receivers (optional) for high definition reception.

Cheap Satellite TV Service
When it comes to satellite TV service, you can pay anywhere from $31.99 a month for 60 channels of programming, on up to $93.99 a month for 215 channels.

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 -- Americas Top Sixty -- gives you 60 channels of satellite TV programming, including your local channels, for $31.99 per month.
DIRECTVs 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 youre 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 youll find satellite TV is a real bargain.
