Thank you for replying, Topper. We haven't pulled the plug yet - we are just looking into other options. We basically would like Romanian, American and British channels, for news, documentaries, talk shows and movies/series. I know that Israel's location, however, is not ideal for our preferences and we would settle for basically any English channels that we can get easily and at a lower cost (without a huge initial investment and/or an oversized dish).
The problem is we are utterly clueless as to how this works, what providers/installers there are here and where/how to find them, how we go about subscribing to channels of interest, what the options are, what equipment we need etc. Yes, we are extremely newbies, although otherwise very technologically literate. What we do know is that there are other ways to get TV broadcasts into our home, without paying 75 USD for a subscription that offers mostly uninteresting channels (including shopping channels and such). What we don't know (at all) is what these ways are.
I know, from experience, how frustrating it can be to explain the basics over and over again, especially since at your level, this information seems so obvious and readily available. Yet, I would appreciate it very much if anybody could take the time for a brief and basic explanation; it would make a huge difference in our lives and budget.
Thank you!
