According to another freeper, satellite will allow you to remove a program from viewing, from whatever satellite package deal you bought. This means you save no money, but you don’t prop up ratings for terrible programming, or support programming you object to.
Freeper said they try to talk you out of it, but will do it for you if you try.
Hope this actually works.
Another thing to keep them guessing is don't plug the receiver into the phone jack. Never mind what they say the receivers work great without them unless you use Pay Per View. This way they do not know your viewing habits.
