    Time to jump ship?

    Now wait a minute! I'm pretty sure the CEO of Comcast has stated numerous times that "Comcast has all the important HD channels that anybody would want" . Obviously, you only THINK you want those new HD channels that Direct TV has added. Seriously, I do think Comcast is starting to get the...

    Comcast HD deal in Bay Area

    I hear ya! But my experience has been the opposite. I think the drop to my apartment complex may be bad. Also, I get a strong signal on the 129 satellite location. I don't question the overall quality of Comcast HD.....its quite good...but I don't have alot of faith in them being competitive in...

    Comcast HD deal in Bay Area

    I actually have both were I live. I would give Comcast a small edge in SD picture quality, but the HD picture quality is subjective in my opinion. I've heard that Comcast passes its HD channels at full resolution, but when I compare the two I see almost no difference. I have a brother in the...

    Comcast HD deal in Bay Area

    I'm confused! If you are interested in HD programming why would you be looking at leaving Dish for Comcast? I know the "Triple play" is very attractive to alot of people, but when it comes to HD, Dish is head and shoulders above comcast.

    Would Voom Satellite be more successful in 2007?

    Obviously, all satellite & Cable companies have bandwidth limitations to cope with, but with mpeg 4 compression and additional satellites VoOm could have expanded its programming as new channels eventually were available. The advantage this type of provider would enjoy over Dish and Direct TV is...

    Would Voom Satellite be more successful in 2007?

    I was a Voom customer in 2004 and really liked the concept of a satellite provider that focused on HD channels and better PQ on the handfull of SD channels. I think a "Voom" type of service could be successful today with STB's with good ATSC tuners and HD feeds of the major networks in the top...

    Why is C-cast so expensive on DVR rentals?

    You are partly correct! You don't need to subscribe to any additional programming to receive the HD feed of your local networks(ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW & PBS) you would, however, need to subscribe to the premium packages(HBO, Starz, etc.) to get their HD feed. If you live in an area were you have...

    Why is C-cast so expensive on DVR rentals?

    Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the fee also gives you access to the HD channels that are not available(Sound, but no picture) with the standard digital box. Also, the DVR/HD Capable units have better conections(HDMI or DVI and Component/S-video) were the stardard box only has composite...

    QAM Tuner on new TV?

    I don't know what channels are available in your area, but there are several advantages to a QAM tuner. My Sony 34" CRT has a QAM tuner(no cable card slot though) and I am able to receive all the local HD networks(ABC, NBC,CBS,FOX,CW,PBS) and about 20 "Digital" channels and also about 40 "Music...

    Charter STINKS, what are my options!

    I thought FiOS was available city-wide in Keller. Anyway, I agree with your opinion of Charter. How long do you have to wait to talk to CSR? With all the new players in town I think they are in trouble. I have had dish network and I really liked them.......and I like them more now that they...
