Those are my two choices as my condo does not face the southern sky 
TW has a $75/mo for 2 years TV and internet contract price, and supposedly has free HD., UVerse is around $67 for just the TV w/ free dvr (which I doubt I'd use) (+ $10 for hD), but no contract, and a $200 visa card cashback. There is a lower ATT TV tier for $55 a month w/o the DVR (and without VERSUS), but no cash back
Both have the basic channels that I desire..I haven't had cable in a long time, we've had directv for many years at my parents place. Uverse has a better sports pack, but its $10/mo, while cable's sports tier is only $5/mo (and includes MLB Net, as well as offering NHL CI, NBA LP and MLB EI if I ever feel so inclined again).
Cable seems like a really good deal, I can get locked in at a low price for 2 years. Is PQ significantly better on the AT&T? I assume that cable modem is faster than the AT&T UVerse DSL.
With AT&T, I get access to ESPN360 which gives me all the espn fullcourt and gameplan games for free on the computer, don't know how much I'd utilize that or if Time Warner even offers that too.

I've had UVERSE for 6 weeks after 15 years of both Sats. HighDef video=OTA quality. SD picture better than anything on the market. Faster channel change than anything on the market. Watch any recording from any box on any TV in the house, Great VOD. Intuitive Channel guide and search. Only downside 2HD channels at a time. low cost, many HD channels. DVR control from net, caller ID and much more.If Time Warner was free and offered the same service, I probably wouldn't switch

I have had Uverse for 2 years. Its still new to South Florida.
When it first came down here, I had issues.
All those issues have been resolved. Mainly it was glitchy. Picture would freeze up.
They needed to get the kinks out.
Also Hd in the beggining was fair.
Fast forward to now.
HD is better then dish network on par with Direc tv. I have not had Time warner in 20 years- cant speak of it.
No glitching or issues at all. SD is picture perfect! Vod outstanding. Channel changing is lightening fast.
Its great to watch recorded proramming anywhere...
Internet is awesome!
Best part is there is no contract. Plus they are running promotions of 100-200 cash back depending on what package you get.
Its worth a try. You dont like it, cancel it.
Downside...streams..They have upped it to 3 streams. To my knowledge they are adressing it.
Plus only main unit has full dvr functionality.
Im not shilling Uverse. I have other systems.
But they give you allot at a great price.

Get any agreement with TWC in writing and make sure you keep a copy. I have a two year agreement with them are they now trying to charge me full price for tiers, rather than the 1/2 price they agreed upon.
HD PQ is good, however with Switched Digital Video there are odd times, which you will get a picture freeze up. Video on Demand is great, they have a 24 hr local news channel, you get your actual local weather forecast on the Weather Channel; plus they have a startover feature which is kewl, where you can startover a program on approximately 100 different channels if you missed the beginning.
The downside of TWC is their cisco (atlantic scientific) dvrs are no match for Dishnetwork Equipment. However, recently they did a software upgrade to their navigator menu and have somewhat made their fast forward feature more user friendly. Their dvr boxes do give PIP, something that Dish did too, however it is not a full size side by side view. You get a smaller picture in the large picture.
You will not have the NFL Network and HD Network; two of the channels I miss most; but I do have all the MSG channels in HD, YES Network in HD and MLB Network in HD.
In the WNY area, TWC is raising the price of their standalone Standard Roadrunner Service to $54.95 a month starting September 1st.; basically forcing you to bundle for a discount and not pick up a satellite company instead.
Right now I am suppose to be paying $97 a month for my service with includes a hd dvr and an additional hd box, roadrunner and approximately 85 hd channels. If you add premium channels you will get more hd, plus they have 5 additional channels to launch during the next couple months.
Hope this helps you out.

Uverse also has the local weather channel plus other features. We have weather here. L Frank Baum described the area around Topeka,not the movie's southwest Kansas, while writing "TheWizard of Oz. " I spend many hours sleeping in front of TV. It's wonderful to have weather alerts on every channel in brilliant flashing red and white accompanied by a sound that feels you're 2 foot from the world's largest fog horn.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.
I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.

Cutting Edge
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....

For quite a while now, people with a VIP211k have been losing their recordings on their activated external HDDs... even when there's nothing physically wrong with HDD. I believe this is an intentional and underhanded tactic that Dish is pulling in an attempt to force users away from the VIP211k.
They are obviously regretting that they ever let users have a "non-dvr" dvr in the first place. You would think they would be happy charging you a $40 one time fee... and then be happy letting the customer be the one responsible for HDD failures.
Dish clearly hates the 211k bitter-clingers. This recording deletion problem is intentional (IMO), and I think it is just one more tool that they are using. Hopper and a 2-year agreement... that's what they want you to have. Think about that... a 2-year agreement... with a company $30 Billion in debt (that's with a B). What happens when all that debt causes them to drop the channel that may have been your whole reason for having Dish in the first place? Guess who's stuck with a service that no longer suits their needs... for the remainder of the 2-year agreement.
On top of that, they don't want you to install it yourself. I purchased and installed all my equipment myself. That used to be common. Now, they lie to me and tell me that my dish must be updated to use a Hopper. Funny thing is... they don't even know what dish I have because they didn't install it, and I didn't tell them. If you ask what type of dish/LNBs the hopper needs... good luck getting an answer. All they know is that whatever you have needs to be upgraded by an installer.
It is quite apparent to me that they care much more about staying in their box, than they do working with the customer. That's too bad, because it hasn't always been that way. It's like they are totally unaware of the current business environment that they are trying to compete in.
I have been a customer since 2010. I will be cancelling my service before the next period. Yeah, I know, my $1,200 a year won't make a difference to them. It just seems like they have forgotten who needs who, especially when you consider the competition in today's streaming world. But hey, they will have succeed in forcing me off the 211k.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

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.
