Paying Too Much for Cable? The next time you get a bill from your cable provider, ask yourself, "What am I paying for?" You may be getting 120 channels, but if you only watch a handful of them on a regular basis, the service is a waste of money.  

These days, more and more people are parting ways with the cable company and saving huge amounts of money by switching over to satellite television for their entertainment needs. Unlike cable where it's an all or nothing mentality, with satellite you can customize the package you get to suit your needs.

Say, for example, you love sports and can't get enough of your favorite football, hockey or other sporting team. You can sign up for a sports package that offers a wide selection of 24 hour sporting channels, like Fox Sports Net and NBA TV.

If you're a movie buff, how about a collection of channels that show movie after movie 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  You can have your pick from what's playing on Showtime, Cinemax, HBO or the Starz Channel anytime you want.

And if you have young kids in the house, a family and educational package that includes channels like Lifetime, USA, Disney and Nickelodeon may be more your speed. There are also packages available for people who want access to programming exclusively in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and dozens of other languages.

When you sign up for this special deal being offered through Satellite Television USA, you'll receive free professional installation in up to four rooms, a free digital video recorder, access to the Starz Movie Channels for free for three months, a free $100 value gift and a lifetime warranty. Packages start as low as $19.99 per month.
