    Comcast Voice Service

    Little post script to this. A couple of days afterwards, I decided to call my old number to see who would answer. Some guy answered, I told him the story and he said he didn't even want that number. He asked for a different one and he wasn't happy. He was an AT&T customer and he said a rep was...

    Comcast Voice Service

    This happened a few weeks ago. I just got home and my wife said our phone is out. I checked it and sure enough it was out. Figured it was problem in the area and Comcast would take care of it. Got a call on my cell from a relative saying they called the house and no answer, but someone did come...

    Rob Lowe Directv commercials

    I thought the ads were a little funny, but what I liked was near the end, they're playing the theme song to St Elmo's Fire. It's like his character from that movie is now 30+ yrs older and has turned into creepy Rob Lowe.

    Sony Electronics introduces new line of High-Resolution Audio A/V Receivers, speakers and Blu-ray™ H

    About two weeks ago, I bought a Sony sound plate for one of my tv's. We didn't like the sound from the tv speakers in this one room, so I bought this and we both really like it. It directs the sound out to the front and we senior citizens can hear the tv much better. Plus, I can set my tv, a 46"...

    Roku Trouble

    Anybody been having trouble with playback errors on their Roku 3? I watch a lot of NHL games through NHL Game Center Live and lately, I'll be watching a game and the picture drops off and a window pops up that says PLAYBACK ERROR and proceeds to tell you that you may have to unplug your device...

    DVD buyback at Best Buy

    Best Buy has run this promotion several times. I turned in a few DVD's myself and ended up buying some choice Blu-rays I was interested in. And there have been a couple of times I couldn't find something I wanted, so I just saved the coupon and receipt they gave me and went back maybe a week...

    Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray Player Review

    I have a Sony BDP-S3100 and this year I signed up with NHL Game Center Live so I could watch alot of NHL games in HD. Since I have Comcast, they only have 2 channels set aside for games in HD. On my Mac, I can watch the live games just fine. but if I want to watch using the NHL Gamecenter Live...

    x1 cable box

    I gave the X1 a try about 2 months ago. I liked the system, my wife did not. When Comcast first put it in, I had trouble gettingNHL Center Ice games in HD. After going back and forth with Comcast, it was finally fixed. but then, other trouble popped up. Sometimes the channel you were on would...

    Uverse Review

    I had Uverse for a little over 2 yrs about 2 yrs ago. It was a very good service. I had no problem with the HD PQ and the SD PQ was first rate. Loved the DVR and the capability to record multiple shows and also the WHDVR. That was great for my wife who had me record shows for her while she...

    Repost, but time running out

    I ran into the same situation recently. Last yr, I went with Comcast on a 2 yr deal. First year, it was $89.99 a month, which went up to about $103 with some extras. The basic pkg was most if not all, their HD channels, HBO & Starz, 15 mbps internet and, phone, of course. Second yr, it's...

    MLB Network on U-Verse

    Uverse added MLB Network to their lineup just a few days ago, Ch 634 for Sd, Ch 1634 for HD. Took them long enough. Only bad thing about it is that it's on the U-300 and 450 pkgs. So, with the lesser pkgs that want it, they have to upgrade to at least the U-300 to get it. I think it's kind of a...

    Comcast Xfinity

    Saw something about this not to long ago. A new system from Comcast that was supposed to roll out in about a dozen cities that sounds a bit similar to AT&T's Uverse. Anybody know anything about it if it's any good or sounds like it might be good. Comcast has some info on it on their website...

    Your option about uverse

    I've had Uverse for a little over 2 yrs now. It's a really good service. Great SD PQ, really good HD PQ, depending on the particular channel. Internet service is really good. I've got the 3.0 mbp's and it's pretty darn fast. In fact, it's all I need. I also have the Uvoice phone service and it's...

    Want the lowdown on Uverse? Here it is!

    I've had Uverse for nearly 2 yrs and have had no problem with the Caller ID. Though, sometimes, calls go to voicemail for no reason. Plus, I've had people call and we were there and the phone never rang and their calls went to voicemail. As for Caller ID on the tv screen, it's coming. Uverse has...
