RiverQueen from EARTH, MILKYWAY -

I was just reading about internet lines and how long it takes to get them installed. One you have to have a telephone line first and the other you don't.
That made me think about Cable. Is there such a thing as cable television in Uruguay and if there is how long does it take to get it installed? Can you order it before you take possession of your house or apartment so that the day you move in it gets installed?
Also what programs do you receive on cable television in Uruguay? Do you get all the regular American channels or is it mostly local television?

My experience it is takes under a week to get cable installed and we have our choice of 2 or 3 cable companies. To move the service they wanted 72 hours notice, but moved it the next day (well, they never disconnected it in the old place)...
We have Montecable, see link below for the channels, etc. I don't like it because some channels are on digital and some on analog. We really don't use the digital box at all. Once our contract is up, we're switching to DirecTV.
What is not offered (yet) in the cable tv realm is cable internet. That is apparently more of a regulatory issue than anything else.

* Office N More For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 1570
