    Just was wondering if and when Verizon will be offering any type of out-of-market professional sports packages, i.e. MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center ICE, MLS Direct Kick?

    2 new birds? when is the planned launch

    I am currently not a DirecTV subscriber, but if I was to purchase the DirecTV Plus HD DVR, does that include the right satellite dish so that I will not have to upgrade to a newer and bigger one, once DirecTV 10 and DirecTV11 are fully operational? Thanks...

    Fios in Home Theater mag

    If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the March issue? I saw that one and couldn't find anything in there on FiOS. UPDATE: Nevermind, I bought the issue and as I was scanning through it, I found it. It is the March issue, not the April issue. The pic. you posted above was correct. Thanks again...

    Putterboy, that would be good if you can post what month its in? Appreciate it. Do you have FiOS and if so how would you compare the PQ to say Comcast or even DirecTV? I've heard nothing but great things about the service and I can't wait until it comes to my town in MA.

    DirecTV's Plans for 2006/2007

    Does anyone know if or when Verizon's FiOS home page will have a channel feedback form? Currently I don't believe there is one, but there are a few channels in which I would love to see FiOS get.

    Congrats to the Steelers

    Hart love your avaitar. Yeah congrats to the Steelers, albeit an average showing at best between both teams. I still believe had the Pats not had that pathetic performance in Denver and played up to their capability, they would have won three in a row.

    Will Comcast Ever Move to Fiber-Optics to Compete with Verizon?

    Does anyone know if or when Comcast plans on upgrading their old copper lines to fiber-optics like Verizon has done? Just a question I have been wondering about for a while.
