Satellite/Cable options

[chuychanga]

I just moved into a new house and haven't set up my TV yet. I'm too lazy to really research this, but I'd like some input on which system I should go with.

I want to have ESPN and Fox Sports Net. I also want HBO. Not a million different HBOs, and not Showtime or Cinemax, just plain old HBO to watch the Soprano's when it comes back on. It would be nice to have OLN for the tour, but I can live without it. I also need the 4 local network stations in Austin.

Those are the only channels I ever watch. I don't need any others. Cable modem is not an issue, I have SBC DSL.

What is the cheapest option that will get me those channels? Cable or Sateliite, and which satellite company is best?

If you get Satellite in just one room, it is cheaper. But if you want 2 or more TVs connected then cable is the way to go. Grande is cheaper then Time Warner. Time Warner will give you Digital cable in one room and analog cable in the other rooms. Grande is not available throughout Austin. Their web site Grande will show you if they have service available for you. Hope that helps.
