Hello, New member here. I hope this is in the right section, If not please excuse me.
I currently have 2 HD tvs, 1 in the bedroom 1 in living room.
At the moment all i have is basic comcast cable ( cable from wall to tv, no box at all ) and i only have this in the living room.
I only pay 10.00 a month for it, so i am not complaining. I get about 75 channels or so and pretty much the locals in HD.
I called comcast but they are WAY to high to upgrade to HD box for 2 rooms.
So i was looking at TurboHD, i can get it in 2 rooms, for 29.99 a month.
I was thinking to just keep my comcast for 10.00 and then get Turbo for 29.99, PLUS i will have it in 2 rooms.
If needed, i can just switch between comcast and Turbo for certain channels. I am not much into movie channels and the bronze turbo looks as if it has all the channels i watch.
Would this be a good idea? Any comments or thoughts about doing something like this?
Also, how is the TurboHD service? roughly about how many HD channels would i be looking at? 20?30?40?
i figure 39.99 a month, for 2 rooms in HD for basic cable and HD is a good deal, If anyone could comment that would be great.
Also, i notice some rebates on the top of the page, could i use these also? or do i need to order a higher package?
thanks so much!

I currently have Comcast basic with DISH. I too get around 75 digital channels (clear QAM) with my $7 basic Comcast sub. Not fishy at all. However most are local networks (including sub channels), public access, and shopping. Only a couple are what you'd consider "cable channels" (Gameshow, GAC, and used to get DIY) and it wouldn't surprise me if they disappeared someday. At least 30 of the channels I get are On Demand that you can't control. Can be interesting sometimes though. 
DISH doesn't offer locals in my DMA (Springfield MA) in either SD or HD. I get 6 networks in HD as part of the 75 Comcast basic channels. My only wish was that the 722 could record QAM like it does ATSC. I can see why they wouldn't want to support a competitor though.
I say go for it. They work great together.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.
I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?
