Rick,
I would imagine he's talking Hughes satellite, it's also offered through DirecTV and maybe even Dish, don't know. Good I suppose if your area doesn't have any cable service or access to DSL. Download times may be acceptable (like DSL) but uploads are really slow. I have cable here in Lawton for Internet, TV and now phone. Not as fast as others (10MB down, 1MB up) but it's the fastest available here and since I do a lot of uploading for my web sites, DSL or satellite was never an option for me. You say you want to get TV from the Internet.how are you connecting to the Internet now if not by DSL, cable, or satellite? I have both satellite and cable. Satellite primarily for TV but high winds and storms here due knock it out occasionally and cable for Internet, phone, and those times when the satellite is knocked out.

No doubt DSL is a huge improvement. I have no idea who Hughes is, but I believe I'm happy that they don't serve this area. My wife is trying to convince me to go with cable internet (Suddenlink). I'm not so sure, I'm thinking that I'd rather cancel cable all together and get our TV 100% from the internet. Anyone done that yet?
