Legal satellite service isn't all what it's cooked up to be...there is a reason why most haven't adoped this phenomenon. Here are some reason's why:
You still need a satellite receiver box per TV if you have more than 1 TV in your residence. The more receivers you need, the more money it costs you...otherwise all TVs in the house will play the same channel under 1 box.
Satellite signals are flaky in bad or intermittent weather resulting in choppy pixelization or even outages. If we were living in Miami, then it wouldn't be a problem, however, in cold Canada (6/12 months)...it IS a problem. Cable is more reliable than satellite....signal wise and always will be.
If something goes wrong with your dish after your warranty period expires (frost, out of place by wind, mechanial problem, ect.) there is a fee to have someone come over to have a look at...and it's not cheap either (sometimes up to $60 just for a look at it let alone any fixes it requires). Cable service calls are always FREE with their service.
Even though cable service isn't all that cheap either and the reality is that most people don't watch more than 7-8 channels on a regular basis.....it's still a better alternative...and that's why it leads in market share over satellite.
Don't bother with LookTV. There are a very small pod in the large sea of things. There service and support are sub par at best. Not having alot of subscribers is why. Unless they offer you free installation to try it out, then don't bother. Otherwise, if you want to leave them, you will be paying 2 installation fees (one for LookTV and another to install again with a REAL cable provider).
