    Switched to Comcast from Dish - Experience summary !

    Good to hear that I am not alone in this :-) It sounds like you got a great deal from Comcast. I am assuming you are using Comcast promotions for the first six months and using the Dish buyback promotion after that. Good thinking ! Haven't given much thought to the phone service from...

    Switched to Comcast from Dish - Experience summary !

    Even though I am leaving my whole dish setup as is -- including the dishes on the roof and the reciever/DVR, I am not sure if they would be useful 12 months down the road if they come up with different receivers and dishes to support MPEG-4. Like you said, Comcast gave me the best of both...

    Switched to Comcast from Dish - Experience summary !

    My thoughts exactly ! It's really the number of available HD channels, monthly cost and the lack of contract is what sold me on switching to Comcast. They also threw in the HD-DVR also for free for me -- I am actually paying $35.00 for the Digital Silver package and $35.00 for the internet...

    That's some good speed there Uncle Flappy ! I haven't run the bandwidth test in a while -- I should probably do that as I have already added one splitter to the line. I can then compare the degradation in bandwidth after I add another splitter down the line. Based on your suggestion, I am...

    The signal from the LNB/Switch -- I have two dishes mounted on the roof and the signals from the two are combined outside and two cables are run into the attic (serving two separate receivers). The digital cable signals are also run into the attic on a separate cable. I need to combine digital...

    Switched to Comcast from Dish - Experience summary !

    Howdy ! New member here….thought I'd share my recent experience as I switched from Dish to Comcast about a week or so ago. I was just shopping around, evaluating my HD options, after I bought a Sharp LC32GA5U for my family room. Dish actually offered to lease a HD receiver for $5 a month...

    Whole house video distrubution

    Are you combining the cable and satellite signals into one cable ? I am also in similar situation -- two story home wired with a single RG-6 running to all the rooms in the house. I am trying to combine both digital cable and satellite signals onto this single cable. I was told the only...
