I hope his cable is more reliable than mine was.
I dont know.....Somehow I doubt it. But I have to try - it simply NOT an issue of I can save $X a month or anything of the sort. There is just nothing on the horizon that says my HD locals & RSN are on the way.
Its a no lose deal - either I am right in the first place that SAT is better than Cable and return (I am actually not quitting dish - running them side by side for awhile)....Or cable proves to be the better option for me and I changed at the right time. Of course maybe within this year E* will roll out a plan to get HD lcoals in Lansing, MI (doubt it) and FSN Detroit in my area (doubt it - not even D* does for my area).
Actually, its somewhat of a hijack as the thread is national channels. But not really since COMCAST in my area added whole bunch of Nat'l HD's which put it further than D* and just slightly under E* unless you are in love with the VOOMs.....I like them, I watch WorldSport & RAVE and think they are great - but my locals and RSN really do mean more to me right now. Untill Comcast added those recent NAT'l adds - I wouldnt even consider them. But if they are good and reliable - then at least for me -
E* Will NOT be the HD leader , except for some number - numbers are NOT everything.
