Thanks! Monthly rental fee for the modem they supply is $10 a month.

Thanks. I checked and the $54.99 is for a one year contract. I'm assuming like AT&T I'd have to re-negotiate after that? Is there a certain modem/router that is recommended with the 75 Mbps from Xfinity? They have a list of approved ones on their page: Netgear C7800 ARRIS SBG7580-AC ASUS...

Thanks all for the feedback and advice. To answer a few of the questions: 1. We have had DIRECTV for close to 15 years now. In the beginning the customer service was excellent. I would call in with a question and be connected to a knowledgeable employee in the United States. Now every time...

Thanks dishrich. I didn't know I could connect both Xfinity and DIRECTV/DISH to the same TV. The one other thing I failed to mention is they want $60 to install!?!?! Neither DISH nor DIRECTV charge anything to install and they have to install a dish!

We currently have AT&T/DirecTV and our contract for the TV is up in a week. Ideally I would love to change to Xfinity as DirecTv's customer service is horrible (ever since they got bought out by AT&T), they constantly keep trying to raise our rates, the On Demand selection is terrible and the...

Thanks. I already checked with DISH and they want more than what I'm paying for DirecTV.

I hoping to get some advice on cord cutting as I know little about the process and what is offered. We currently have DirecTV and I am tired of the constant price increases and haggling I have to do with them to get a decent price. This has become even worse since AT&T bought them. That being...

We have our Dish install scheduled for tomorrow (thanks everyone for the help getting it setup). Are there any specific questions/requests I should make when the installer comes out (I believe it will be a internal technician)? Currently we have DirecTV with the dish mounted to the side of our...

How do the two hoppers work? For example if I am watching TV on one hopper can is see programming that I have recorded on another? I can I see the content of both hoppers from the TV connected to the joey? Also, if I go through a local store, will they still be able to offer me the referral...

Actually, I was told by the DIRT rep I've been working with that they can't do a 2 hopper and one joey install (2 hopper and 2 joey is the lowest install). He said I could buy a hopper on my own and have it activated, but I would imagine that could be kind of expensive. Looks like I'm stuck...

Thanks. Just to clarify, if Ihave only one Hopper we could watch TV on all three channels, watch TV on 2 TVs and record something, watch TV on one TV and record two channels, or record three channels, correct? If we just get one hopper and two joeys can we buy another Hopper later (like on...

I just placed an order for a DISH installation this coming Saturday (previously had DirecTV) and am trying to understand how Hoppers and Joeys work. Currently we have a HR-20, HR-21 and HR-24 (not a whole house system). We are a family of four (two adults-two kids). Will one Hopper and two...

I talked to the DIRT rep and he said that I could not order two hoppers and no joeys. We juast have standard HD DVRs with Directv and they seem adequate. We just delete material as we are finished.

What is a troll? Are you trying to accuse me of something?

Thanks. That makes more sense. Does it matter though since I don't have any equipment? And if I were to go with all hoppers instead of joeys, what is the price difference?
