VMC Satellite - any gotcha's

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

VMC is fine. i bought my DishTv equipment through them and had no problems
at all. They are just a resller for dish. Your install is done by Dish
staff. However, DirecTv seems to work much better. With DirecTv you get
fully functional Tivo and you own it as opposed to Dish where you lease a
non Tivo DVR.

Per the other posts, VMC must be a dealer of DishNetwork. OK, no problem.
DIRECTV offers HDTV receivers around $300 and Tivos starting around $100.
Both Dish and DTV charge $4.99 for the 2nd and each additional box.

If you'd like more info regarding DTV, send me an email.
