Well you know I gave it a shot to try to move away from cable,but I was very disappointed in the whole deal.

You must have had bad installs with the satellite dishes. Even when I had DirecTV in the 90s my signal rarely went out. I switched to cable in '06 and it was pricey compared to DTV so I switched back. I've noticed the signal strength for the dish in my location is consistently in the low/mid 90s. It used to be mid/high 80s. They've apparently boosted the signal.

Can understand, the savings, economy, etc... Heck, I couldnt imgane a sunday without NFL ticket. Nothing like before forced Tampa Bay/NYJets game when KC is tied with SD in the division and playing Denver at Denver.


My family that lives in KC burns up the slingbox during the season... Nothing is more stupid that cable companies and the games they force on people...

I got the sarcasm.

Just thought I'd break out into Rogers and Hamerstein(?) to back it up.

I don't know,I guess Im just getting old and don't like change.I feel like if its not broke don't fix it.Im happy with my service and around here you can't beat the broadband speed so Im good for now.

My 20mb down and 2 mb up is amazing, especially when I am out on the road using the slingbox to watch KU. Love it.

But unless Cable gets the Sunday Ticket, Sports Tier and Full Court. There inst much use for them other than internet at this time.

IF they get those, I would switch.

Let me guess.

You're around 33-34, and you say you're getting old.

Pfhtttt....

Be pissed at cable for being too cheap to pony up for the exclusive rights to it...

Yeah, not true. I've had them for over a yr now and I've had zero issues. I've never had their TV service though.
