for those getting the discounts, were you folks still under contract?

25mbps is not going to be enough for the average household to go all streaming and still be able to do other internet activities at the same time without noticing any slowdowns most households have at least 2 or 3 tv's on most of the time so at 8mbs for hd that's already 24mbps without...

nobody is denying that the future is heading towards tv over IP. just that it will be a lot longer than 5 years until that happens. There is still a large portion of the population even in suburban areas that do not have fast enough/reliable connections to replace their entire cable/sat system...

don't take it personal. it's just a portion of the city slickers who live in their own little bubble and think every american has access to the same 100mbps connections they have

those are some interesting names for their packages...

and that's only for one stream. most people have more than one box in their house that they watch tv on at the same time

yay. more mergers and less competition :oldfrown

it showed up the day after I made this post. better late than never I guess loads up almost instantly for me. it's just convenient being able to check the scores of games and being able to quickly flip to the channel of that game rather than trying to surf through the guide trying to find it...

anyone else not having the NHL show up on their scoreguides? I use it all the time to easily view the scores of games and flip between them quickly. so i find it somewhat annoying that it's not there anymore

yes they are all asking for more but sports is the biggest culprit imo and the reason why more people haven't ditched their cable/satellite subscriptions. If we can ever manage to get rid of the local market rsn blackout rules (which i think are illegal and wouldn't hold up in court), i think...

surely people aren't so naive that they actually thought the costs would go down after the merger price hikes are going to happen every year because the cost of programming has spiraled out of control thanks mostly to all these mega sports contracts. Eventually the current pay tv model is going...

The only thing saving tv providers right now is sports. Plus, there are still going to be those who do not have viable internet options for streaming and satellite is the only option to watch cable tv

Lame. another channel about to be ruined

if the lobbyists push hard enough, any merger is possible

i've been on capped satellite internet before and it sucks but you learn to live with it. Most important thing is to disable any/all automatic updates on all your devices connected to your internet. you never realize how much data you can go through just updating everything until you have to...

yea but att is making it sound like people who don't have access to high speed internet, are going to get access due to this meger. That is total bs imo what's going to happen is they are going to bundle LTE and/or satellite internet, both of which most of those people can already get without...

meh. i think all this broadband expansion stuff is just att trying to get this merger approved. I highly doubt that this merger is going to improve internet access for people who already don't have access to true broadband internet

I'm willing to bet that almost all of those 15 million people will only be able to get LTE, which most can probably already get right now. I highly doubt that they expand their uverse or DSL into new areas

little if any effect. most people who have hughesnet aren't going to be seeing any att/driectv bundles anytime soon due to the fact that they don't have access to att anyways

Merging of big companies, especially in the tv/telecom industry always makes me uneasy. This probably won't make much of a difference in the short term but i fear in the long term we will end up with only 1 or 2 tv providers to choose from. and for people like me who do not have access to...

yup. obviously directv's subscriber impact was hardly hit by the loss of TWC. not a good sign for them

i agree. and it's particularly bad for people like me that have no access to cable tv or internet.

from that article: Yet-to-be-named presenters will bring viewers news, sports and even pop culture, but all with a weather spin it's like they are trying to fail

no actually i don't but i get your point :) money is a tight, so adding an additional $10 a month to my tv bill for something i really don't need isn't exactly a wise thing to do.

good to know that they will install the dish for free. but still until they force me or they remove the hd fee permanently, i won't be upgrading to hd. not when my tv bill goes up every year anyways due to rate hikes oh you can defintley tell the difference. i watch OTA in hd and the picture...
