satellite?
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008man I hate Comcast’s TV stuff.. it just sucks.. Internet is fine, the the DVRs and such.. blech
I was looking to jump ship to satellite… but o, a huge nail in the coffin of Dish network.. you have to have a phone line (or ethernet cable) attached to each receiver. So I’d have to run 4 more ethernet cables or get a home phone.. both of those options suck… so, no Dish.
so.. I checked with DirecTV and see if they have that requirement too.. they do not. You can’t order PPV without a phone line, but there’s no fee either. You can still use Ethernet instead of a phone line with their big DVR too to get PPV.
So.. DirectTV would be the choice over Dish.. even though it’s more expensive.. basically I want all the “normal” channels (with HD!) and HBO and Showtime and maybe access to PPV and OnDemand stuff for about $80/month.. that’s basically what I’m shooting for.
