Advice

[kpr711]

Need a little advice, currently have D with all channels and genie. All hardwired to internet etc...service is pretty good. I pay $190.00 per mo. I have uverse internet and phone, so that's another 88.00 per month.
Comcast has offers for all three around 190.00 per month. Rising to 240-50 after promotional period. I also intend on getting the new xbox one, and utalizing the integration it has for cable and sat.
Long story short...should I stay or go, I live in Chicago and have had D for over 10yrs. Just want some opinions from people who have made the switch or have similar experiences.
Thanks.

It would appear that cost isn't a consideration for you based on your monthly costs now. I always look at programming first. If you went to Comcast would you still get the channels you want? What about picture quality? In some areas Comcast is comparable to Directv, in others not so much. Is there anyway for you to check on that?

Cost is a factor, going cable seems to save me about 40-60 per month. But when I last had cable, 10+ years ago, I hated it, outages, customer service etc...maybe some Chicago area subscribers can weigh in on the picture quality.
Thanks for the reply

Have you tried getting some programming discounts from Directv? Being a long time subscriber can usually get you something off.

I also have Ooma for phone service & I am saving a lot of money with it. In addition,I have AT&T 6.0 Fast DSL,which bundled with DTV,costs me only $46.00 a month.

If I had a HR34/HR44 there is no way I'd go back to a 2 tuner DVR....unless they gave me at least 2 for free

Ooma phone

Like madmadworld and royrdsjr, I have Ooma phone and it's been great for me. It cost me a hundred and fifty for the Ooma voip modem and forty dollars to port our phone number to it, but it was well worth it. The monthly savings over the past year has more than recouped my initial investment and now we only pay 3.71 a month for our phone service. We were paying almost forty a month to the cable company previously.
