Comcast probably. Get a bit of footy on occasionally.

Good luck with the pool cleaning business or vacation rentals.

Sorry, its just that virtually all brits who are moving to Orlando have been wowed by the bright lights and sunny smiles they were met with during a holoiday there and they really just absolutely have to live there as its simply the best place on earth. And the only way they can is to buy into a pool cleaning or vacation rentals business. I take it you are not in this particular fraternity then.

See if you can get a cable package that includes Fox Soccer Channel. It comes as part of the basic package in this area.

And this website is useful:

That's $300 a year on top of your Directv subscription (any where from $41.99 to £93.99 a month). A bit pointless when you 3-5 live games a week on Fox Soccer, plus a few games on pay per view for $20 each if you get really desparate.

The service you were referring to - visiting people's homes to fix PCs - is called 'The Geek Squad' and they drive VW Beetles; although they probably aren't the only ones.

Another option is to go to the Cricketers Arms on I-Drive and watch the match live with a bacon butty or sausage sarnie, a pint of beer & 150-250 footy fans, regulars & tourists. Helps me with my Footy withdrawls !! generally $10 per game
