    Canadian locals eligible in the US.

    I like StarChoice, we thought we would miss Dish or DirecTV but we didn't. The kids are use to Nick, Disney and Cartoon and it throws them off a little.

    Most Basic Cable

    You can get negative/tier traps to cut out basically any channel or group of channels you want. The only thing about using traps to cut out a group of channels, you have to have it cut to cut out audio on the low end and video on the high end to keep from cutting out the adjacent channel.

    Judge Bars DirecTV HD Ads

    In a way it is a "cable vs satellite" thing. Bottom line, satellite should broadcast what they advertise. If you say you have better HD then cable, then broadcast in True HD form and try to live up to it. If cable operators are broadcasting in 1920x1080i resolution then satellite should to. This...

    As been said, utility ride of ways, pole attachment and mainly cost dictates if other "cable tv choices" come into the picture. Who I work for does not play a roll in my feelings and thoughts. I have been a customer of both satellite and cable and have installed both (mainly c band and cable...

    Cable Monopoly

Verizon makes out like this just does not happen but yet I see over builders like RCN and Knology having no issues. As Stevenl pointed out, there is other...

    Any US actions against a subscriber?

    Y'all really should NOT mention names of brokers in open forum. It's how good things come to an end, because people post stuff like it in open forum.
