bruce said:No, you have to have the box.
so basically "free on demand" is not so free when you have to lease a box for 5-10 bucks a monthbruce said:No, you have to have the box.

Don't have the numbers but anything is better than cable. ota is better than cablebruce said:What is over rated and over priced about Comcast vs. D* and E*, prove your point, if not......troll.
bruce said:SD-Better then E*, I left E* Feb./05 and the first thing I noticed was that the SD picture is a little to a lot better, for example, Sci-Fi on E* was un-watchable on E*, with Comcast it is a lot cleaner looking, and all SD channels are digital in my area, no more analog for me.

I agree. I can watch a movie anytimne I want to onDish. I own a dvr which allows you to watch anything when you want. VOD is just a gimmick.charper1 said:What does OnDemand movies get a user that they can't get via DVD rental? Is it cheaper?
Wrong , Dish is upgrading dvr's to have VOD now. My duaghter and her mom have now.korsjs said:i don't have to pay for my on demand channels. they are included if i purchase the premium channel. that is not the case for all cable co. you can push a button and have it start or you could wait for the movie to come in the mail or go to the store to rent it. it is something cable has that satellite can not technically do.

why would anyone in the proper mind stay iwth something that they aren't happy with? you don't even get the same number of HD channel;s as you do D* or E*. I'm not a HD subscrbier fsoit's certainly chaepaer for me. I just dropped Comcast internet for it's slow. Around where I live Verizon DSL is faster. Cheaper too.jgantert said:Here's numbers...
Comcast basic digital cable with ONE SD box is $65.
D* and E* are about $45 for digital cable with one SD receiver.
Of course, these are just the BASE digital packages, and are useless for me (an HD DVR customer). The upfront D* and E* costs (around $300) outweigh any monthly savings for me.
However, you can directly compare to Verizon FIOS.
Basic Digital + 1 SD box is only $35. Thats a lot cheaper than Comcast. Heck, you can even add in the movie pack (Sho, TMC, Starz & Encore) at $12 and still be cheaper than comcast.
Oh well, whatever works. I'm currently with Comcast, btw. Not real happy with it, but here I am.
