Voom was cool when I first got it - loved MonstersHD. But how many times can they show Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Wolfman vs Frankenstein, Drakula, etc. I love horror, but I would like some new shows to tide me over to the 30th.

I'm leaving but not for the price increase. I've been hoping that Dish would add the Logo channel and they haven't yet. TWC in my area beat them too it. Direct is out of the question becuase I don't want to reinvest in HD boxes. TWC also offers faster HSI than ATT DSL in my area. And there's...

Transitions aren't always smooth. But, the grass isn't alway greener. Watch out for your cancellation fee if you ever get fed up with Direct. And get ready to pay for equipment upgrades. BTW, I'm with Dish and they just raised thier prices and I'm getting ready to go back to cable - once my...

Ask dish! It's their promotion. Retail price of Winegard is only $19. I'm sure Dish gets it cheaper than that.

HD locals look better than SD locals. I'm in the Austin area and according to the post, it qualifies. BUT, Dish says only Memphis and some other city qualify for an antenna. First, the CSR didn't even know they offered OTA eventhough I put in my address on their web site and it said I could get...

So a recording kicked off last night. The audio wasn't include. So, I waited until the show was finished recording before trying anything. I flipped channels (which usually brings back the audio) and nothing. Turned off the receiver by pressing the power button on the remote. Nothing. Then I...

Not everything I watch is recorded.

DirecTVs commercials are better and clever. Their spoofs on movies or whatnot is pretty creative. Where as last night I saw a Dish Network commercial. It had a super close of an over weight woman talking with a horrible hick accent. Yeah, that would make me want to switch (if I weren't already a...

Time Warner has an HD tier which includes things such as INHD and HDnet. But their digital cable package includes all the HD locals, Discovery HD, and TNT HD. I'd be with TWC if they'd offer Voom.

DirecTV has already added Austin, TX from what I understand - all but NBC local.

I noticed HomeZone on ATT's website now. But, it show's it's limited to new customers. I can't wait until it's rolled out to all ATT customers as it's features look neat - being able to schedule shows from the web!!

TWC SA8300DVR is the only reason I left. I couldn't stand it. In Austin, TX they run SARA which is a pile of crud and slow as a seven year itch. If they do like Comcast and Cox and roll out Tivo software to their DVRs, I'd go back. The SARA interface looks like a bad Atari game. I also hated...

I love Monsters. When I watch HD, it's usually Monsters. I love their themes espically on the weekends. Their recent undead weekend was the best.

Moving to U-verse too as soon as it's ready here. Haven't seen them lay the fiber yet though.

Through ATT, I don't have a comitment to Dish, just DSL. I'm happy with all the services so why not bundle and save.
