Unfortunately everything is is all about supply and demand. it is an excuse to just raise prices. Just like the new lease nonsense- trends change everything. Every company does it. In this case we can thank all the people that "have to have" all 4 HD channels. Their willingness to pay extra for...

Yup, it isn't just a rumor that it is different in certain areas. The only question I have for colebert- What is your signal strength? That is an important factor. My PQ isn't nearly as bad as colebert's, and i'm having a tech come out and look at everything so I have proof that my stuff is...

I personally have just experienced a SD picture quality drop over the past week. Everything was fine the last couple weeks- my PQ on all my TV's were sharp and vibrant with no background pixel blurring, true DVD quality, like it is supposed to be...now it is dull and flat with heavy background...

This is why I wanted everybody to read the whole thing. This isn't only about the lease deal- This is about taking more choices away from us customers. The fact that you can no longer choose a brand of equipment. We go and spend mega money between a TV and surround equipment... and to...

But just switching to another provider does not let the company know that there is a serious issue. We need to inform them of this issue at hand if we expect anything to be done. Any product you believe in should be worth your time to atleast try. One or 2 comments aren't going to do it...

Everyone must get behind this: (Please read the whole thing.) The reason Dtv is pushing to get leasing and ownership fees started on their equipment is because of all the new trends that have been started today. All of the companies out there do it. It is called marketing. Getting the customer...

I guess I speak from experience when I say there are rare cases of "not of the norm" procedures. Everything I have ever done (from cars I've owned to satellite installation) I have recieved the phrase "I have never seen/done that" before. "That's weird".."Usually it is this..." Even the new...

I was being charged 9.95 PER "digital " box from BHN- that was the basic, NON-HD, NON-DVR type. That ontop of the lousy picture quality and excuses, it was enough for me to drop cable.

Did you address this w/customer service? Maybe they are adding or changing the system around, or they might not be aware of a problem. Call and let them know, then have somebody come and check it out. The only way to keep or increase quality control is to let them know there's a problem.

I didn't ask about HD programming and leases... I only asked if the issue you are having is your first dtv issue, which you answered. I'd still give Directv another chance. If they were good to you for over 2 years, with no probs, that's a good sign. Not many things today have a solid year...

Uuuuh No Offense, but what does that mean? We know that the day we buy a computer they are already outdated, but that doesn't stop us from buying one anyway, does it? Sorry, I'm still not impressed with the HD tech to go and dump my provider and tons of dough just yet, just like the 1st couple...

This is all well and good guys, but this is also why it is hard to be taken seriously by the service providers. We need to address the issues you have with the companies. The more people letting the companies know of issues, the more likely the company will do something. Where TV is concerned...

I have to agree w/ damaged's explaination, because like everything else, it comes down to personal preference and needs. I had Directv for 3 years with no issues at all through blinding snow and everything, and my sister as well, has Dtv now for 7 years, both of us have moved a few times with...

That is very interesting, because the picture quality you speak of is exactly the same crap I had w/BHC. Flat colors and the black was really gray... not to mention the tons and tons more digital pixellization interferrence on a daily basis. But of course, none of the techs noticed that, until i...

Nope, icedude, had Directv for over 3 years, before I moved, my sister has them for seven years now and my cousin has them for 4 years, ... with zero problems in every dept. The only thing that will be a tough desision for me (when I move again) between Directv and Verizon is I want to see the...

and you need to learn to read, HDTVFanAtic...every post of yours has been a contradiction to itself, not to mention the insults. So go back and read, I was told by brighthouse phone reps and the rep super that I was not responsible for any payment until my services were repaired. and now...

Well after finally getting through to the fact that there is a problem, things were being looked into, and a week later the game continued all over again from the start point. I believe that the tech super who was helping me hit a giant wall with corporate, for it seems that the billing dept...

Dude, this is exactly what I mean, a 1/4 of the answer is given to the question. But, There's an original tactic... blame the customer's equipment, that's another 20 year old ploy to get us to conviently rent equipment. Gee, I never had any of these problems with any other cable or...

*ultra sigh* I did see what you said, stevenl, but the dude that comes to your house to work on the service, with the fancy schmancy title and supposed 10 year experience in the cable field, he's supposed to know this stuff, and give us correct answers. Right? More of the reason i am overall...

That's just great. Then why did the "upper level" cable tech tell me it was pure digital? Not analogue/digital or whatever it is? That really sucks...and I'm even more disappointed now..if that's true. (no offense to anyone, there are alot of concepts bouncing around, but no definate answer.)...

I hear what you are saying, but tell that to my tv... the picture I am receiving gets all of the digital interference...stuttering, freezing and the digital "pixellating noise" in the dark backgrounds...without a cable box. *shrug shoulders* and the analogue signal was converted to digital here...

I hear ya, and all the terminology is sound, but are they just theorized, or proven results? The last upper senior tech to my house spoke of the same terms, but really did not know what they meant, for he, like alot of people have not seen the results given, but he was just repeating said...

stevenl: The lower stations are coming in digital for me here in Altamonte Springs, without a cable box or cable card needed and one of my tv's is a 15 year old sony trinitron. And as far as "your great reception" no offence to you, but everything I have seen so far is less that great, digital...

stevenl..*Sigh*Yes, I am just bitching. I'm glad I know nothing other than the fact that my cable picture royally sucks, my neighbors picture quality sucks and so does my friend's in orlando. Even when it was analogue. The excuses never stop and we have to just wait forever and hope it gets...

OK, What??? Once again, read what you wrote, for you backed up my complaint that BHC's HD is severly lacking. That was been my #1 concern through out this whole thing, the overall picture and sound quality we receive. All I know is that I know a true quality picture, when I see one (clean...
