  1. This system is usually rented or leased, therefore you will pay for it life, and you will never own it. It's like cable TV, your payments will never go down...only up.
  2. Primestar says you do not pay for equipment, but this is not true. You do pay about $10 to $12 per month for the equipment.
  3. It can handle about 160 channels, whereas most satellite systems can handle 150 to 300 channels.
  4. You have to pay for programming on your TV set or satellite receiver. With Cable TV or Direct TV, there is no extra costs for the programming on your second or third set.
  5. No local channels on this system. You will need an antenna or cable TV to receive your local station.
  6. Extra TV set required an extra satellite receiver in order to watch different programming on each TV set.
