    Are you all happy?

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. It is so refreshing read this forum where people are actually helpful. I am currently active on the comcast forum and there are definitely some helpful people, but this place blows it out of the water. Hopefully when my contract ends I'll be around here a lot...

    Are you all happy?

    I know this is a very strange subject. I am a comcast subscriber and am growing very tired of them and their lack of interest in their customers. I am still under contract for a while, but am keeping an eye on my other options once my contract is up. I have followed these forums for a while...

    Why pick satellite over cable?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. To answer a previous question. I have 2 TV's - 1 HD in the living room and a oldschool std in the bedroom. Downstairs I currently have a Tivo and I realise that D's DirecTivo is a sad excuse for a DVR, according to some, but if I went the D way, I would consider...

    Why pick satellite over cable?

    They messed up their billing system and my bill has been wrong two times in a row. They don't spend money so don't add many channels and the last time I tried to call them re the billing issue it took 50 minutes to get through to someone. Their customer service has always been excellent but I...

    Are the only differences between the HR24 and 34 that one has 5 tuners vs 2, and double the hard drive space?

    Adding and dropping premium/extra channels

    Hi, If I sign up for Fox Soccer Plus, or one of the premiums liek HBO or the Sports Pack and next month I decide I don't want it, is there any charge to change your subscription? Then if 3 months after that I decide I want to sign up for another month, is there any charge for that? Basically...

    Willow TV

    Hi, Has anyone subscribed to Willow TV? I had a few questions - I saw on the DirecTV website that I'd possibly need a 2nd dish for that channel - does anyone know if you need a 2nd dish or you can receive the channel on the standard dish? Also, is it available a la carte, if I have signed up...

    Anyone have DirecTV, but use cable for internet and phone?

    Thanks for all of the comments - very much appreciated. Does D* internet based entertainment need any specific speed for solid performance, or will any 8MBps+ speed work ok?

    Anyone have DirecTV, but use cable for internet and phone?

    How is the best way to set this up - when I schedule the install do I mention that I currently have cable and want to keep the existing wiring? Were you warned ahead of time?
