In most markets, there is only one cable provider. It's by design. Keeps

One word: Satellite.

We just switched from Comcast to Dish Networks. It's cheaper for the
same channel lineup and it works on the boat at no extra charge
(except for the antenna).




I'll probably make the switch if and when FIOS gets to my 'hood. I don't
know enouh about "dish" to make the switch. Also, I have concerns about
wiring inside, and the need for each box to be connected to a phone
line. I have three TVs in the house, and none are located adjacent to a
phone jack. That means...running wires on baseboards or something
similar, no?

When I built my house, I prewired for cable TV and for internet. I
assume the existing cable TV cables would also work for a dish, though, yes?
