I Like it. It's not perfect neither is D*. The PQ is good with the triple play its a little cheaper than D* I get faster internet, so right now I am happy. I like Tivo better than the FIOS DVR. I like the fact that the QIP6416 up converts the SD signal to 480P, but it is only TV. I'm...

I would bet that the CO did not have power, or were severely damaged, not to mention that the lines, if on utility poles, would have been down. If anyone had phone service at all on copper lines it would have been sporadic, and lucky. I work for Lucent and we were down there to help the...

I had my phone line switched over to fiber when I got FIOS installed and it works fine. It is not VOIP it is the same POTS line but the signal is carried back to the central office over fiber instead of copper, functionality of FAX, alarms, phones, modems functions exactly like a POTS line (I...

Wow! We are way off topic now. I had no idea I would start a religious argument, lol!! I posted the original thread to point out how disappointed I was that D* did not want to throw freebies at me to get me to stay. I feel unloved :( I have the choice of Comcast, Verizon FIOS, Directv...

Nothing wrong with what you are doing. If Yes-HD was not on FIOS I may be in the same boat as you. I assume SNY-HD is being broadcast in mpeg4. I did not upgrade to mpeg4 before switching which made my decision easier. If you are watching mpeg4 HD do you find the picture better than the...

Does Directv have the mets in HD every game? or is it a part time channel? I have been watching a lot of TV since FIOS was installed in my house yesterday, and the SD picture looks better than D* on my HDTV. I have up converted the SD signal to 480P, you can do this with their HD DVR box...

I'm not here to trash Directv I only want to point out an interesting conversation with the CSR. When I called I mentioned I wanted to cancel the service, I was transferred to a CSR. She asked me why I was canceling. I mentioned I was getting FIOS hooked up, I told her it was getting hooked...

"Quantity over Quality"! This is Directv's new corporate motto. I felt bad about dumping D* for FIOS, but this makes me feel better about my decision.

I'm not looking to leave. I'm just not sure what the F&^% is going on. After the replies here I guess I will get alot more HD channels, I will need a new HD DVR and dish, which I guess I will have to beg for (CSR roulette). I'm willing to wait and see what happens. Does anyone know when D*...

Thanks for the info. Unless I get the MPEG4 DVR receiver and dish for free, it's see ya!! Directv. I guess their goal is to have a minial number of subscribers.

The alleged "100 HD" national channel D* is adding, are they going to be mpeg2 or mpeg4? I would prefer mpeg2, since I would not need a new dish and receiver ( I have the HD tivo). Having to get another dish twice the size of the triple LNB, would probably force me to go to FIOS or cable. I...

Problem with the cable deal and the SHOCK when the promotion is over, is this. I need Digital cable on 3 sets and HD DVR on 2. That adds 3 more box rental fees, franchise fees, etc, and $9.95 per DVR. At least that is what the Comcast customer service rep told me. With DTV I pay ~ $85...
