You mean there is actually another choice besides DirecTv?

News to me!

DT

Like I said, you're a girl. Daddy's girl.

If I watched the games with anyone else in my area chances are they would be a faider or 9er fan... But good ole' pops brought me up on KC so it's always fun to catch the games with him.

DirecTV
RoadRunner
Vonage

Ask your dad if he has two dishes, one for regular channels and one for the locals. IIRC that is the case where you live. If so, I can come up with one dish and maybe two. I think your dad can do the install since he's familiar with Directv. This would be by far your cheapest route to go.

Cox. I wish they'd hurry up and get ONDemand, though.

When DirecTV starts giving away the HDTV+TIVO Receiviers like Cox does, I might switch.

Cox knows what its equipment is worth.

Direct TV and Comcast.

Dish Network with KC stations for the Chiefs games, get some other games on the LA and NY stations. If my receiver with UHF remote ever explodes I might switch.

I had Dish and Comcast together. That was several years ago when I could still get the KC local channels thru Dish. Then ther FCC stepped in after lawmakers put there braintrust together and thought that it was an unfair advantage to local advertising . ( Stupidest things I have ever heard of,Like I'm going to drive to KC to save money on a purchase ).

So I had to switch to Direct TV.

What was costing me about $ 840.00 per year to watch the Chiefs, Royals, Jayhawks now cost me about $ 1400.00 per year, and this is minus the Royals part. Pay more, get less.

Of course I remember you saying at one point the reason that DTV used Tivo is that it was the best out there by far, but then after they dropped their deal with them you told us it was a good thing because they had shitty reliabilty. So who knows...

Mediacom Cable.

So what's the problem? It can be the best out there and still have shitty reliability. Ask Herzig about them. I know he smoked a couple of them.

Best interface and crappy hardware then?

I guess I'll look more closely at DTV when they bring down their HD stuff to be the same as the rest of their stuff, becuase right now with 3 TV's I would pay more using DTV then I do for Comcast, but I don't pay for digital cable because the extra cost and having to actually use a PoS box on my TV's pisses me off.

Time Warner, but if I had a choice, I'd tell them f***ers to hit the road. I had an issue recently with my High Definition that took them a month and a half to fix. I was getting about three of the twleve channels and the rest were either badly pixelated or didn't work at all. Problem was, I had to keep calling them to find out when the f*** they were going to take care of the problem. Every time, I had to explain again what the problem was to yet another customer service rep. I bet I made over two dozen phone that time. Every time, of course, I had to wait on hold forever. I demanded to have a single point of contact until they resolved the problem, but actually speaking to someone in charge there is like pulling teeth. I finally did get a hold of the supervisor in charge of the contractors and within three days they fixed the problem (it was water in a trap, whatever a trap is). It pisses me off to no end that a huge corporation like that, knowing that there are no alternatives for the consumer, can dick a person around like that. The worst customer service experience I've ever encountered.

I considered switching to satellite, but an HD receiver with Tivo was going cost me $500 plus I had to install an OTA antenna to get the local channels in HD. I'm glad that ordeal is finally over, and all my HD channels are working.
