Satellite TV on the Islands

Free dish and decoder boxes usually means you must sign up for one year at some minimum service. After the first year you can likely suspend service at will.

The free installation offers probably won't include an island install, so you may have to install it yourself. Or pay extra installation charges. Assuming you have the correct view of the sky, and you're handy, installation is pretty easy. I did my own (non-island) install and it went smooth.

You might want to get a compass and check-out the sky before you commit. If you're on the wrong side of a hill or have high trees in the way dish mounting can be near impossible. The directtv web-site has compass directions for your zipcode.
