March 10, 200422 yr Comcast sucks! :puke Yes it does. That's why we are getting rid of it and getting W.O.W. at least that way we can get high speed internet and a decent cable system.
March 11, 200422 yr For those that didn't know.. this was resolved late last night and all CBS & Infinity programs have been restored on DN.
March 11, 200422 yr Author For those that didn't know.. this was resolved late last night and all CBS & Infinity programs have been restored on DN. Yeah, I heard that!
March 11, 200422 yr Yeah, I heard that! Eye.. question.. how many receivers do you have..? We have 4 now and need a 5th for the basement.. they are telling me I need a switch, more installation fees, receiver cost, etc, etc... Like I said.. the DVR is the main reason we have the service over DTV.. but I dunno...
March 11, 200422 yr They'll be back soon enough. As for DTV versus DN.. personal preference.. but as someone who uses the PVR several times.. daily.. it's not worth it for us to switch to DTV who charges for using the Tivo. Your right about the PVR, however I believe that depends on the number of PVRs you have and the package you have. We subscribe to one of the premium packages and have never been charged for the use of the PVR system. I also only have one PVR system for the living room. My other TVs use DTV as well, but do not use the PVR system. So that may also figure into the overall scheme of things. It is 5 bucks per month for the use of the PVR system without a premium package, so that wouldn't deter me from ever using a better overall product. I am not sure if it is 5 bucks per PVR system per month or 5 bucks per month. Either way I don't have a need for more than one PVR system. Not sure about other sport packages, but the NFL package is exclusive to DTV and I can't get enough football. So if the PVR costs only 5 bucks more a month and I can watch all the football I can handle then that is the way to go for me. It all boils down to personal preference.
March 11, 200422 yr Author Eye.. question.. how many receivers do you have..? We have 4 now and need a 5th for the basement.. they are telling me I need a switch, more installation fees, receiver cost, etc, etc... Like I said.. the DVR is the main reason we have the service over DTV.. but I dunno... I've only got one. We have the ability to hook up two, though, but don't need more than the one at this time. My wife refuses to have a TV in the bedroom. I'd like to have a receiver in my garage, but it's detached and I'd have to get another dish or dig a hole for the wire.

Like I said.. the DVR is the main reason we have the service over DTV.. but I dunno... Steff does it cost you more per month for each reciever you have? If so how much? Can't you just upgrade the LNB so you can attach more receivers to it? DirecTV has one that can support 5 receivers, I am not sure how Dish Network works. That should be something you can do yourself I would think and it should save you on istallation and such.
March 11, 200422 yr No add'l fee. Up to 6. I'm not climbing on top of the house to do it myself. You're married, send Jim up there
March 11, 200422 yr You're married, send Jim up there There is more money you are saving then. It is an additional 2 bucks per receiver for DirecTV. Thats right its the mans job.
March 11, 200422 yr You're married, send Jim up there No way... his old bones are fragile!! I need him around to pay for that castle I live in..
March 11, 200422 yr Bla... We're switching. Anyone know if DN is gonna come get their crap or do I have to rip it off the roof myself..
