Yea mine is a 2 year contract also. I think you might be fine if the original sales person does their job correct and you get transferred to this telephone thing where you verify that you agree to contract deal electronically. I got transferred but it basically was error but I didn't think much...

I signed up for Comcast a few weeks ago. Complete nightmare but they are really the only choice for internet around here (only other option is 3mb dsl) and it is $50 for 6mbs and we can use that up if more than one is streaming video, roku, voip, etc. So I got a mailing for 20mbs internet...

Thanks for the reply I figured that about the remotes but the illustrated page that came with the boxes has you including the remotes. The boxes I received take two receivers per box so 2 boxes for 3 receivers.

Signed back up with Comcast so I need to return my equipment. I had three 211k's. 1) I lost the remote to one (actually I believe it broke but can't find it), will they charge me? 2) They sent two boxes, does that mean two separate shipping charges?

CNN is a load of crap along with the other two. I would love to know what all their "reporters" actually do all day. Combine CNN + CNN International and you might get a half descent channel. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Don't PBS use British ITV or BBC for most of their foreign reporting? Both channels which are by law responsible to the British public. I would actual take Al Jazeera over BBC News any day. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Hip or smart? Have you seen the price that used iPhones/iPads go for on places like Ebay/Craigslist? It is not exactly like buying 99% of other electronics which rapidly decrease in price once used. Let me use this iPhone for a few months, upgrade, and recover all my money by selling my old...

What have you seen? Do you ride a bicycle full time? If not, in a round about way, you are helping to support this channel each time you fill up your vehicle with gas. I will take Al Jazeera or BBC with their government supported money over 24/7 Trayvon Martin coverage brought to you by big...

Can one of the DIRT members put in a request for me? Really hoping this is available by August.

When my contract was up I think I got offered $5 or $10 credit for 6 months or premium channel free for a year.

I am a news junky and watch quite a bit of Al Jazeera and I don't think they show a clear bias. Their coverage of the Arab Spring has been kind of one sided but the same goes for the rest of the Western media. I would put them closer to BBC than say Russia Today but BBC News is still a cut...

MSNBC is just doing what Fox has been doing for the past 15 years. Also the MSNBC website is separate to the television channel and Huffington Post is basically an aggregator.

Encore Drama HD, Encore Action HD, Fox Movie Channel HD, Sundance HD, IFC HD, TMC West HD.

I got Cinemax free for 12 months a few weeks ago but I was thinking about canceling and switching to Comcast when they offered it. I think it was a few days after AMC had come back on.
