    Goodbye DirecTV (at least for now)

    Well, after much thinking, I've finally decided to switch to cable. I had DirecTV for 3 years but I just don't want to wait any longer to get the HD channels I want. Also I can't see myself paying close to 1K for a DVR. I got a nice package from Comcast with all the HD channels I needed...

    $1,000 for a DVR is ridiculous

    The person I spoke with when I called DirecTV had no interest whatsoever in giving me a price reduction on the HD tivo. He wasn't very friendly at all. Did I speak with the wrong person? Was he having a bad day?

    I want some more HD...

    that's exactly what i am doing. I am keeping my DTV & SD TiVo with the TOTAL CHOICE ($39) and I am getting Voom basic ($39). Of course it would be better/cheaper to have only one provider but since I can't get TiVo+Lots of HD movies from a single provider...

    DirecTV HD - I don't recomend to my worst enemy!

    Whoa! fredfa, why the hell do I need a DirecTV HD Tivo? There's no programming to be recorded! After all, I have to agree with you guys. If I had done more research I would have found out that DirecTV HD sucks. And if I had posted something here I would have found out that DirecTV...

    DirecTV HD - I don't recomend to my worst enemy!

    Yes, that what I want - cinemax, starz, bravo, etc, etc. And yes, I did my homework but here is what happens: - For some programming, no one really knows what is true HD or upconv until you turn it on and watch it. Lots of listings in HDTV galaxy are marked as 1080i but they are actually...

    DirecTV HD - I don't recomend to my worst enemy!

    I upgraded my DirecTV service last month to High-Definition, paid *premium* price for this upgrade - I wasted around $400 :mad: I was expecting to have limited HD programming, from what I read here and other forums. But I didn't expect to be as bad as it is. First, in the already...

    I am not in your area but I am able to get all Boston local channels with the Terk HDTVi antenna. And the great thing is that I can keep it indoors. And it is a great looking antenna! :)
