    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.

    Does the HD-Receiver have DVR?
    I'm toying with the idea of switching - but it seems they give you such a great service right away, but than you lose all the free stuff down the road, and prices go up.

      From what I saw, you can get either a free HD receiver, OR a free DVR. If you want one that does both, its $300, but they have a $100 discount on it right now. That part really sucks.

                            it seems to me like while it is bitch for hoak media to demand compensation for a signal that is free over the air, i am also really tired of cableone's BAWWWWWWWW

                            i think it is cableones sole responsibility to negotiate and bring the service back to their customers, not the customers responsibility to badger harass hoak media on behalf of cableone.

                            i just think it is childish for cableone to ask their customers to go to bat for them. the commercials sound like a whiney 3 year old to me.

                            cableone should just shut the fuck up about it and do what they need to do to get the service back, it's their fuck up, why should we need to hear about it?

                            as far as them complaining about the cost and how they have to pass it on to the customer FUCK THAT. they dont HAVE to pass on shit. we already pay out the ass for their service as it is. if they need to work out some sort of compensation agreement to maintain their level of service then that is a cost of doing business and we should see any change in price because of that.

                            cableone, BAWWWWWWW!!

                                    KVLY and KXJB FTL...they are asking $1.8 million for a service that Cable One doesn't charge for...If it's free over the air it should be free for Cable One users (that's Cable One' philosophy)

                                      Cable One charges $10/month for HD. They don't give the HD locals away at all so that argument is invalid.

                                        But you don't need Cable One to get the local HD channels is what they are saying. If you have an HDTV tuner and an antenna to get the signal, it is still free.

                                          You don't even need an "HD Antenna." An antenna is an antenna is an antenna.

                                          I can understand CableOne charging for local HD channels as need to have equipment to handle the HD signals and whatnot.
