Many systems are sold with free installation. Basic service, with 40 to 50 channels, is about $25 a month but does not include any local channels or regional network feeds; local-channel service adds about $5 a month to the price. Expanded programming with 100 to 150 channels is about $45 and adds music and some specialty channels. Premium channels such as HBO and ShowTime are $6 to $10 each, sometimes less if you take two or more. Pay-per-view is usually $3 a movie, like cable PPV. Certain sports packages are available with a unique satellite-TV option, run $139 to $169 per season.

Retailers may only advertise one of these three components, the installed, programmed price may be higher than what is advertised and, there may be a long-term commitment to programming costs.

Meanwhile, as direct tv programming expands over the next several years, you will find you can get HD programming for free by using a standard, old-fashioned rooftop or attic antenna--but only in those markets (and there are more every day) where stations broadcast in HD. You can also get HD programming by using a receiver that is equipped for the purpose, and some manufacturers are now offering HDTVs with built-in satellite receivers. Otherwise, you can use an HDTV set-top converter box with either your old analog or new HD-ready TV to get those signals.
