Now that Trio is gone, there is very little reason to keep the dish.<\/p>\n<p>I almost got into a fight with the woman on the phone because to get a special deal I had to give them my DirectTV receivers and the dish off the roof.

Then she said I could keep the dish and give them a receiver, access card, and show them a bill. I have an extra receiver and card in the barn so I am cool on that front.<\/p>\n<p>I am toying with the idea of killing the phone line and seeing if the DSL works without it. One time, my phone got disconnected and it still worked. Then I could finish downloading my 103GB of Doctor Who using two different connections.
