Just a few years ago there was no such thing as a cheap satellite TV system. A decent
system cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 for a satellite TV dish and the array of electronic boxes that came with it. Not only that, it cost hundreds of dollars to have a big-dish satellite TV system installed.
Today, because the satellite TV industry has become so competitive, dealers are giving away satellite TV systems to entice people to subscribe to their satellite TV service.
Even the installation is free.
So when it comes to finding a cheap TV system, you're in luck. They're not just cheap, they're free.
Satellite TV Systems
Here?s what you get when you subscribe to either DISH Network or DIRECTV's satellite TV service:
* A free satellite TV dish and mounting stand.
* Up to four free satellite TV receivers plus universal remote controls.
* Free professional installation of your system in up to four rooms of your home.
* Free DVR (digital video recording) receivers so you can record your favorite programs.
* HDTV satellite TV receivers (optional) for high definition reception.
Note: DISH Network and DIRECTV offer bonus gifts such as a free DVD player and home theater system when you order their service. Visit http://www.TheSatelliteTVGuide.com to see the latest offers.
Cheap Satellite TV Service
When it comes to satellite TV service, you can pay anywhere from $31.99 a month for 60 channels of programming, on up to $93.99 a month for 215 channels.
Both DISH Network or DIRECTV's satellite TV service includes the following:
* More than 225 program channels with digital-quality picture and sound.
* Up to 500 commercial-free movies per month.
* DVR (digital video recording) so you can bypass commercials and record your favorite programs.
* HD (high definition) programming.
* Up to 60 pay-per-view programs per day.
* Your local channels with digital picture and sound.
* Commercial-free music channels with all-digital sound.
* Toll-free and online 24/7 customer service.
Note: DISH Network and DIRECTV offer special introductory programming rates for new customers. Click on the links below for current offers.
The Bottom Line
Getting the cheapest price for satellite TV depends on whether you want the cheapest service, or you want the cheapest price per channel.
DISH Network has the cheapest satellite TV service. Their starter package -- America's Top Sixty -- gives you 60 channels of satellite TV programming, including your local channels, for $31.99 per month.
DIRECTV's Total Choice program package offers the cheapest price per channel at $0.31 per channel ($41.99 ? 135 channels). In addition to 135 program channels, you also get your local channels and 31 music channels.
If television is your primary form of entertainment and you want a wide variety of shows, movies, sports, and news ... if you're tired of fuzzy reception and want digital-quality picture and sound ... if your cable bill is beginning to equal your mortgage payment -- then I think you'll find satellite TV is a real bargain.

Marketing Research: Individual Words
Marketing Research: Individual Words
by: James D. Brausch
We all know that phrases like "Who else wants to know" in a
headline can improve our sales.
Have you ever thought
about the individual words and their impact on your
profitability?
I recently performed a statistical analysis on several
thousand ads while looking at individual words and
profitability.
The first task was to determine the profitability of each
ad being analyzed.
This was done using the age-old
mailorder marketing method.
Basically, if you see an
advertisement month after month and year after year, it is
probably profitable.
If you see an ad only once or twice
and then it changes or disappears completely, the
advertisement was probably not very profitable.
The next task was to simply look for the occurence of a
list of words in each ad while noting whether the ad was
profitable...

Laptop Security: How to Protect Your Laptop When Traveling
Laptop Security: How to Protect Your Laptop When Traveling
by: Jonathan Chase
Most business people who travel these days have a laptop in tow. Since the workflow doesn?t stop when the need to travel arises, these are necessities that connect them to the rest of the world and allow them to take care of whatever business comes up during the time that they?re away. That being the case, there are certain guidelines that should be followed in order to ensure the safety and protection of your laptop when you get called away from the office.
One of the first considerations that should be made is in regard to the laptop?s security. Since thieves will target these as often as they will cash, jewelry or other valuables, it?s critical to put as many security measures into place as possible when traveling through airports, bus terminals, train stations and any other form of public travel. Of course, it?s never wise to leave your laptop unattended. It?s...

Eye on the Prize
Eye on the Prize
by: Dave Roggeman
?The daily grind.?
?Back to the salt mines.?
?Another day another dollar.?
?Thank god it's Friday.?
These are all phrases of the working world with 9 to 5 jobs.
For some, this situation works.
Others feel trapped, as if all the work they do only benefits others.
There?s a reason these phrases came about.
There are millions of people who would rather be doing anything other than working.
If people loved their jobs, these phrases would be more like "The daily party", "Back to my dream", and "I can't wait till Monday!"
Is there a way for you to sing the latter phrases?
Yes there is, but it takes hard work, determination, and focus.
Where would you like to be in say twenty years?
Do you see yourself in an office job working for a large corporation where you work hard for someone else?
