I'm living in downtown Chicago (60601) and need to get TV/Internet service. I don't really care about the bundled packages that include phone because I primarily use my mobile phone at home.

I think most people here have Comcast, but some of the specialty channels I like (LOGO, for instance) aren't currently available. Is DirecTV the way to go or is it best to stick with cable?

I also work from home and need speedy internet service. I don't need DVR service since I have TiVo. If home phone is included cheaply then I may consider it, but will most likely only buy cheap drugs need Cable and Internet.

Premium movie channels also aren't a big draw for me, but I do enjoy cable channels like BRAVO, LOGO, DISCOVERY HEALTH, TRAVEL, IFC, SUNDANCE, ENCORE, etc.

Also, I live in a high-rise apartment... is DirecTV or DISH even possible or am I stuck with Comcast and their more expensive plans?

Input from Chicagoans would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
