Just when I thought I was out, you guys keep pulling me back in. :) I really like the customer service of TWC, never had a major problem, and small equipment/service problems were solved immediately. The problem with SAT providers are they do not employ their own service force.

The equipment etc does not have any warranty, right? For example if the hard disk fails or if the box has problems, they won't replace it for free, right? (Unless I pay $5.99/mo for protection)
