    AT&T To KEEP the DIRECTV Name

    I sort of like American Telephone and Telegraph exploiting its 19th century name with 21st century technology, kind of makes them relevant once again.

    Might switch back to Charter, a few Q's

    Late to the party, but I switched from DISH in mid June 2014 and went with a Tivo/Mini setup and have never looked back. Many more channels offered in HD than DISH had and I have missed two price increases with DISH since I left. Basically, with Charter I have what DISH calls the SILVER pack and...

    Charter probably has some really bright installers - and then there's this guy...

    Makes me wonder, I installed the cable card myself with my TIVO and had the thing up and working in about 20 minutes and that included calling into Charter and having them pair the card to the unit. They provided me with instructions that showed how they suggest the whole thing be installed and...

    Tuning Adapter

    You might make sure you are using a splitter to separate the cable coming in between the TIVO and the tuning adapter. This is how Charter recommends the install. I had installed as the adapter's instructions showed, but it did not work properly and on Charter's support page found how they...

    Charter Launches Spectrum TV App on Roku

    I have it, but to be honest I cannot understand the purpose, unless you want to stream cable content live to a tv that you do not have a cable box for.

    HBO For 10 Bucks

    They need to do something to compete, however I now have Charter and for an additional $10 a month I can have EVERY HBO channel offered, EVERY Showtime channel offered and EVERY CINEMAX channel as well. But then my tv bill would be $59.99 a month and more than I really want to spend on tv. but...

    $10 mo for 6 mo offer to stay with DISH vs $764 if I move to Direct TV - which one would you take?

    I left DISH in June of 2014 and endured phone calls and mail flyers for about six months and then they finally stopped. In fact I cannot recall how long it has been since I got any junk mail from either sat company or retailer. I was a happy DISH customer until I was moved to the Eastern Arc...

    thinking of changing to charter phone/internet

    I have had their phone/Internet for close to 2 years and have been very happy with it. It did take a bit longer for my installation as my home was on the opposite side of the street and about 200 yards from the nearest pole. They had to bury the line and go under the road to get to my home. Did...

    switching from dish to charter tv

    As has been stated, if you using a TIVO you will not have any access to on demand content. I personally do not care about that and never would watch it if I could. With the TIVO and a Netflix subscription I find plenty enough to keep me busy watching what interests me. I also should have said...

    switching from dish to charter tv

    Using my TIVO and with Charter here having made the swap to Switched Digital Video, I can honestly say I feel that Charter's PQ is better, but then I am using my TIVO box and not Charter's. Not to mention Charter offers more HD channels than either sat company.

    switching from dish to charter tv

    I had been bundled with Charter for Internet and phone, while I was with DISH. Very happy with Internet speeds which is never below 65 megs. After I dropped DISH last summer I added their bottom tier and use my TIVO Roamio basic for DVR service. As has been stated you end up only paying for the...

    What will Dish do about HBO?

    Currently, I can thru Charter Cable, upgrade to their Silver package and get HBO, Cinemax and Showtime Channels, ALL channels that said providers offer, for $10 more per month. I suppose they will raise their rates at some point, but it does surprise me that a cable co has better pricing for all...

    Theory about why DISH disabled 922 Sling

    Once I got a stable unit I loved my 922, but it took 5 replacements over the course of 4 months to find that one receiver. I found keeping the unit as cool as possible helps a great deal and used an exhaust fan for that purpose.

    Out of contract tried to cancel offered $30 off per month

    If you are asking me, I had been a customer for 11 years. Owned my own equipment. Became disillusioned over how much I was paying for the little amount of television I was watching. I made up my mind to cut the cord and go with OTA only and a Netflix subscription. I placed my account on pause...
