Why do they make it so difficult and nasty for some people, and yet it is apparently easy for others? How come I always had waits on hold over 30 minutes and others managed to get right through? I've found a lot of complaints similar to mine, so I know it's not isolated. It actually seems...

Thinking of activating a SiriusXM account? Don't make that mistake. Trust me, eventually you'll regret it. After being a customer for 5 years, and rarely needing to interact with them, I found out that their customer service was horrible when I decided it was time to make some changes to my...

Picture Quality is one good reason. It's better than what I had on Charter, Comcast, and Dish. Price could be another issue depending on how much you're paying and what you're getting now. Although I am disappointed because it seems the pricing is becoming less and less competitive. In...

LOL. You are so right.

Are there still SD channels out there? I don't know, cause I don't watch them anymore. But there are a few channels I miss cause they aren't in HD...

Thanks, that's the one I was looking for.

I could use some more HD channels! I don't even look to see what's on SD channels anymore because I won't watch them. Isn't there a web site that lists all HD channels available? If someone could post the URL I'd appreciate it.

We've got EncoreHD here in central Virginia. I think there are plenty of gaps in the HD programming, but I don't think the 6 E.S. channels address them. There are already similar channels for most of them. Comedy Central, AMC, Turner Classic Movies among others would be nice. I don't...

Just wondering what people think of the additional HD Channels "Coming Soon" to the Extreme HD package. Especially the new channels from Entertainment Studios: Cars.TV HD, Pets.TV HD, Recipe TV.HD, Comedy.TV HD, ES.TV HD, and MyDestination.TV HD. Is this just a gimmick so Verizon can say...

I'm in VA. Just got rid of the landline and went with a different package. I don't think they never required me to have voice, but it was part of the package I initially signed up (phone, internet, tv).

Thanks for the heads up!! They haven't advertised the Flex Bundle, but it looks like it is available here if you do some digging on the website. I've been thinking of dropping my landline anyway. I can upgrade to the extreme HD and higher speed internet and save some money over what I have...

Well, I definitely have not been convinced to switch to E*. Thinking of staying with FIOS for now. I do like my picture with them.

They've had a FIOS whole house DVR available here for several months. I don't subscribe to it. It appears to be available just by enabling a feature on my existing DVR that they will then charge me more for. Maybe they actually have plans for new equipment with new features. The DVR is...

Verizon has recently added a lot of national HD channels. The problem is that when they did this they added a new programming tier, so in order to get many of the new channels that interest me I will have to pay them even more. This is one reason the TurboHD is a nice option. Fortunately DISH...

Yeah, I had almost everything they offered prior to my move. The exception was Cinemax, which at that time was only 2 or 3 channels, and I never saw anything listed in the guide that interested me. They even had the nerve to give me a number that didn't go anywhere one time. No one ever...
