Well, In a nutshell, I was a Dish customer for 14 months. I had just about everything they offered (HD,All movie channels, Playboy, etc.). After some "common sense" thinking I figured that I was paying too much for what I had, $160 per month. I'm entitled to basic cable which is included in my homeowner's association dues, plus I also have excellent high speed internet as well also provided by cable (Comcast/Adelphia). I gave comcast a call to figure how much would I pay if I switched to them. In all, High Speed internet, HD, all movie channels, etc would be just under $130. Considering that I was paying $160 for Dish AND $60 for high speed premier internet, I could save about $100 every month !!! Not to mention the fact that I was paying twice for something since basic cable is provided to me as I explained above.
Well...I switched and I am extremely dissapointed with the dismal decrease in signal quality. Even the HD's dont look as bright as they did with Dish. Some channels cant even be seen with wavy lines and much distortion. I am in extreme suffering as I have both, plasma and DLP tv's with HDMI connections and all the works and am unable to appreciate them.
Dish says that I need to wait at least 6 months before they treat me as a new customer again and be able to get the free installs and free "leased" equipment.
I dont think I can wait that long with the poor image quality I'm getting so I am strongly considering going the DirecTV route.
Thoughts ?

The obvious first question is where in Orlando is Comcast? They are a Brighthouse area
As has been stated, Comcast is hit or miss depending on the market - and generally speaking it seems many in Florida are a miss - but I still don't know where Comcast is in Orlando.
Whether it has anything to do with it, I have noticed that more of their Motorola Systems are hits and their Scientific Atlanta Systems are misses in terms of HD Quality - and most Florida Comcastic Systems are S/A.
Though I don't recommend E* to people anymore, I am sure you could put it in your wife's name and SS# - and use a cellphone as your contact number if you really wanted to return to E*.

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
