I's still gots the OTA stations. They are still offering TV for free!!! If you get a HD tuner for the OTA stations, you can about double your viewing pleasure and it still comes without a monthly bill.
If you want to watch some of the satellite/cable stuff, go look at Joost on the web. If you want an invite to Joost, PM me or TtT.
Me too I use OTA. And PM.Quote:

Not Work Safe!
Once again I need a better TV solution. I know FIOS rocks, but I can't get it at my house.
I think I'm going with U-Verse or DirecTV. Any recent experiences to share?
(I've re-opened the poll and wiped it clean)
Move?
No, ditching cable.Quote:

If you have low standards and lower expectations these are your guys!
Sadly they are about my only choice in Ft. Worth and the Cable guys before them sucked almost as bad. Tried to go back to Cable a couple months back and they were more $$$ than Uverse
Enjoy the ride!
Well said!Quote:

Couple months later we get shipping notification out of the blue for like 3 DVRs and new modem...haha. Same 'computer error' BS. That was about the only 4 months out of 6 that the service actually worked. The only positive is they didn't require a contract. See ya guys....Quote:

Sammm couldn't you and the wife get Matlock and Judge Judy on the antenna rather than messing with all that new fangled technology?? ::hal::
^I could, but the wife wants HGTV and I want FSSW.
I am using the Roku boxes now. you still need an internet provider, but once your are past that you can select a bunch of options. no espn, but much more bizarre offerings.
We had FIOS at the old place it it was great but we were forced to change to something else with the recent move. I agree the U-Verse Customer Service is less than stellar but no problem with the service other wise. We have it for the Telly, Internets and DVR. We had a choice of U-verse, Cable or Sattelite. So far, so good. Fingers crossed. We will keep an eye on the bill though. Thanks for the heads up.
In my opinion though, all of them suck in some form or another. FIOS was the only service where we had zero issues, a great installer who told us to call him first if we had problems. He even gave us his cell number but never had to use it.
I've had DirectTV, DISH, and Time Warner and they all gave me problems of one form or another. The sattelite services are the worst when it comes to lost signal as any major storm knocks out your service. TW, Fios and U-Verse never gave me service interuptions. All of them try to jack up the rates overtime but I just threaten to cancel and all of a sudden, I get my old rates reinstated.
FIOS baby
I've dealt with FiOS (I have it now), U-Verse, Dish, DirecTV, and cable provider du jour. Since FiOS isn't an option for you, I think your next best TV option would be Dish. Customer service wasn't bad at all with Dish, and they bundled with SBC for phone and interwebz - that was many years ago when DSL was the shit, so I don't know what they do now. The downside is that you lose your signal when the weather gets crappy. Sometimes it would take a dump if it got cloudy. Sometimes it would be fine through heavy storms. Go figure. DirecTV was the same way.
My folks have UVerse and I can't stand it. They put up with it since they rarely watch anything but CBS (Wheel of Fortune, NCIS, Big Bang Theory, etc). Their equipment sucks, their service sucks, their billing sucks, etc.
DirecTV was okay, but they decided to start price gouging when the folks upgraded to HD. They didn't give a single shit that they had been good customers for 15 years. For new customers, you can get some pretty good deals, and you don't have to buy their expensive equipment.
Cable fucking sucks. There, I said it. I will never deal with any cable company ever again. I don't care if their internet is speedy or if they have free HD porn, of if they give me 3 free years of HBO. Screw cable with a hot poker in the butt. YMMV.
wow, trickyrix has been a little cranky lately
Me? I just hate cable... :rolleyes:
^that's what happens when you don't get free HD porn.Quote:

I like DirecTV -- the service has been great and the reception is good as well. I got the maintenance option ($3 a month) and if things get weak they come out and replace the LMB on the dish. :clap:Quote:

We ditched cable 3 years ago and haven't looked back since. We watch netflix and hulu.
