Cable sucks!

Oh, wait... this thread isn't what I thought it was about. Never mind.

I was never an employee. I am on an account with a friend.

Not propaganda.

Currently a Dish Network customer, have had it for 1 year, had DirecTV from May 2005 til I switched to Dish. I've lost my signal less with Dish than I did Direct, but it does happen when it storms. A lot of it depends on signal strength and a clear view of the southern sky. I cut down a tree, that probably interfered with my signal, at the same time the Dish was installed so that might have something to do with the better reception.

Dish's customer service is way better than Direct, but the equipment isn't as good. I switched because I wanted a DVR and Dish with DVR was cheaper than Direct.

All I do know is that Mediacom (local cable company) sucks and I'll never go back.

You've miscalculated. The avg. lifespan of a U.S. male is 75.65yrs of age. which would mean 38yrs old is middle aged. I know for you seniors, numbers and times start to get real confusing and all, but that's no reason to fool yourself. You're clearly for in the prime age group that the market targets with 'active living' adverts and AARP newsletters. And that group isn't middle aged. :)

I scratch my head every time I see these threads.....

I have been with DirecTV since 1996....i don't have to take off my shoes and socks to count the number of times I've lost my signal. And when I did lose the signal, it was mostly when I didn't care to watch TV anyway like during the middle of a monsoon/tornado. Funny thing...last winter, when we had the nasty ice storms here in Kentucky, my satellite never went out.

And I still can figure out everyone complaining about DTV's customer service.....I get calls from them all the time about specials they would like to offer me...I especially like the deal I got on NFL Direct Ticket and the movie channels.

When I moved here, the DTV installer was here the day after I moved in and I was watching TV that morning. Even better, when I refinished the basement over the winter, the installer came out and moved a couple of connections that were already there and didn't even charge me.

*******

In the end, the customer gets screwed (in the end).

I would love to have access to all channels and choose which ones I wish to receive. But that will never happen.

I agree with this... There is so much I "we" dont care to have, but yet pay for. I would rather just get the channels I prefer and let the tards have the rest of the garbage.

that's because texas sucks and kansas blows

doesn't Versus have rights to a lot of the NHL games?

:doh!:

WOW!

I want to win a championship just to piss off the "True Fans"!!!!

That would mean winning w/o a pro bowler!!

Cant be done without 10 good players each side.

You'd better or I'll whine.

I have Charter cable and Internet but I have decided to switch back to DTV but I am going to keep my Internet since it is pretty cheap for a 5mb connection.

I am pretty excited I will finally have a DVR. I am just hoping the HD feed is equal to what I have right now because it is pretty freaking good.
