    Charter Spectrum Speed Increases

    So glad I happened to wander into this thread. Just made the call & went from 60/5 to 100/10 in a few minutes of my time for no more $$$! First speed test is 94.46/11.46, excellent! I'm in Michigan, north of Flint.

    When did Dish start charging old timers for locals?

    Thanks for taking the time Bobby, appreciate it. I actually have a very good outdoor antenna with rotor but it's near tall old oak trees and especially in the summer (leaves) when the winds blowing at a good clip the signal gets broken up. To reliably get locals I still need them from Dish. This...

    When did Dish start charging old timers for locals?

    Sorry if this is common knowledge. I haven't been around here in awhile. I've had Dish for well over 20 years and have the Top 200 package, a 722K & 722. My locals were always included and I just noticed I'm being charged $10 @ month for 'em. Seems like they started charging for them a long time...

    Had charter installed today

    When/IF Charter ever actually gets the World Box or some other DVR that's decent and a channel guide that makes sense I'll sign up. I'm not up to parting with $500+++ to go with the Tivo solution to get what should be provided with it's TV service to begin with. I currently have the dated 722 &...

    Your post has taken care of any thoughts of switching to Charter from Dish for me. There have been so many posts for a very long time about their ancient DVRs and muddled programming guide. You'd think they would have corrected this by now.

    Max Go on Roku???

    Since I can't find it I assume Max Go is no longer available on Roku. ??? I'm sure I HAD it before but can't even find the app on my Roku. Yeah, I subscribe to Max, actually got it for free.

    new to charter

    I've got phone and internet. Both have been great and in about 2 years has only been down for a very short length of time due to major storms. I'm paying $73 @ month. Internet alone would be $69 @ month so having phone is a no brainer. Ed
