    ESPN Gameplan 2008

    Well, get ready to get pissed off! The Georgia - Georgia Southern game will be blacked out for folks who live in the state of Georgia. CSS has the rights to this game via PPV. If you have Cox, Comcast or Charter cable tv service, you can order it via PPV. There is a slim chance you could order...

    What upgrade options to HD DVR? Help!!!

    To clarify, the CSR said I would be paying a monthly $6 lease fee for the receiver PLUS a $5 monthly DVR fee for a total of $11 extra a month on top of my current charges. That would be putting me at $100 a month for tv service! What a ripoff!

    All HD on 61.5 ??????

    Yes, I live in Atlanta. My understanding is that the Atlanta locals and future HD will be at the 129 position. I have played Dish CSR roulette and lost the past five times. How did this company get best customer service by JD Powers so many times? Somebody must be getting paid!

    All HD on 61.5 ??????
