K what the hell is this CableOne/KVLY11 KXJB 4 drama shit?

[treimche]

Cable One is a ripoff. They are for sure losing some customers.

I've lived in two places, where its NEARLY impossible to get any HD signal (I live in the twin cities though) over the air.

Even with powered antenna amps etc...

Even when a channel does manage to come in, i hate the pixelation stuff that happens from a low signal (ghosting etc), and how the whole thing just randomly cuts out...

Jim, I'm in the cities until this weekend and have a db meter to aim TV antennas. Let me know if you want help...

[STiSchucky]

all i wanna know is does dish or direct tv get local channels in hd.

[Guest]

Yes they do. DTV does anyway. Made the switch last year, never looked back (except for internet...I use cableone internet)

[STiSchucky]

I think a switch is needed.

F Cableone anyways

[SmitEvo]

DTV > cable and dish

I have dtv at my parents house and love it, so many good channels...Have cable in the dorms and it pretty much sucks...my grandparents got dish a while back and when we went there for xmas the programming was crappy and they pay about the same as our DTV is

[DaveH]

You guys are crazy, how much TV do you watch?

real life > TV

Get off the couch and go do something.

Big deal...do you actually subscribe to it? I get just as many channels as DTV and pay less.

[STiSchucky]

dont really care about nfl sunday ticket. as long as the vikes are in hd

[SmitEvo]

Either way I have enjoyed dtv/dish vs cableone....plus both have way better hdtv packages.

[weshole]

I must be a minority to actually like my cable. But then again, I'm not using Cable One either.

This is interesting...
I'm wondering what is the rates for a DTV setup
I'd want DVR and High-Def capability
Is setup free?
What would my monthly rates be?

If you do DirecTV right now, you pay $199 for the HD/DVR receiver (thats after a $100 discount), and depending on the channel package and other receivers you pick, will end up spending probably about the same as Cable One, but have way more HD channels.

For instance right now I have Cable One, and have 2 HD/DVR receivers and just the regular HD programming, and its $90/mo. If I did DirecTv with the HD/DVR and service, plus 2 extra standard receivers (can watch tv in 3 seperate rooms then), it ends up being $80/mo plus tax. For the first year you get $10/mo off which is nice. And then they also give you 3 movie channels free for 3 months (but I'm sure they'll charge you if you don't call to cancel it). So even if it ends up being the same price, there will be way more than Cable One's lame ass 6 or 7 HD channels. I know I'll be calling to get this set up soon.

[STiSchucky]

sweet write up. thanks troy

[treimche]

Just be careful if you call up DirecTV, they will do almost anything to make you commit to them.

Kirk,

I just got DirecTV last month. $78 bucks for 200 channels, 100 of them are in HD, including local channels here in the cities. Free installation, free HD receiver, and free second standard receiver. 3 months of HBO, starz and cinemax for free. I also get NFL network, and Big Ten network.
