Get DirectTV installed. Then go over to www.kingfta.com or call TOLL FREE (888) 701-KING- All you need is a reciever to program the codes into using a USB drive. I have the Viewsat Ultra V2, currently. You pay DirectTV for the cheapest package they offer and hack the rest of the channels using the codes you download from around the net. WIDE OPEN EVERYTHING 24/7! Something like 900+ channels from all over the world. BUT of coarse this is just hypothetical...its not like I'M DOING IT NOW! That would be illegal, right?!

ATT UVerse Fiber all the way!
can't complain about 6mb download and U400 for $140/month.
That's cheaper and satellite and I cancelled the house phone that was at least $60/month!

haha, oh yea? I wonder how hard/easy it is to get caught for something like that. You know if you hypothetically did it.
Yea suddenlink is my only internet source. Once I get into my apartment or a month before I move (around the end of July), I will start calling DTV and Suddenlink and seeing if it would be worth the hassle of having the 2 different bills.

AT&T Uverse is the only one that is true VOIP TV/Internet to your house. They only send the channel you want your house. Unlike cable they push everything to your house. Plus, with cable they are limited to the bandwith they have. They more that get one it slows down.
AT&T Uverse pluses.....Free DVR like someone mentioned, record 4 regular channels at once, record 2 HD channels at once, do a "search" for a upcoming program that you to record like a month in advance.
Plus, you can set up DVR to record your favorite show or shows anywhere in the world on the internet or AT&T mobile phone.
You can see use a mini guide that will keep your current tv program in full screen mode, and channel surf any channel with a picture and picture, will tell you what is showing, what it is about, and how many minutes is left, as well as what will be coming up next.
Plus, much, much more that cable cant offer.
I have Uverse and will never go back to cable!

I have a couple questions on that! First though, its NOT illegal! DTV and DISHNET have sued several times and lose every time because the signals they send are open for anyone to receive.
If you're using the box that you have, why do you need the DirecTV box?? And does this work with the KaKu (High def)?
