I'd like to comment quickly on the idea of using a Broker vs a friend or family address. I would highly suggest using a known family address instead of a broker. In fact, I have an arrangement with a fellow SatelliteGuys member, he uses my Canadian name/address/phone to subscribe to Starchoice, and I use his US address to subscribe my Big Dish. We are both in full control of our subscriptions, and don't have to go through a broker to make any programming changes.
Years ago I used a 'broker' for a DirecTV subscription. There was an annual fee of $60, plus a $10 charge for any time I wanted to make a programming change.
If you use a broker, and they decide to close up shop, you could be left with satellite receiving equipment that is worthless.
