I got an HDTV soon after I posted the original. Come to find out that they not only send the over the air HDTV channels but five or six more without the use of their box. They dont advertise it but you get the service with your regular cable service as long as your TV has the HDTV tuner capability. Go figure free HDTV, too bad they dont tell us about it as I was in the process of getting Direct TV until I stumbled across this. Now I'll just leave well enough alone until I get tired of the low channel count. |

| That didnt take long  Got a price increase notice and pulled the plug on the whole thing. No more cale tv, cable internet and cable voip. Got direct tv, ported my number to a third line with AT&T and use it for data at the house as well. What you say... you can do that? Yes, if you use a data plan of anykind you can either back door it using things like Motorola Phone Tools which hop you right on the data network by clicking a button or you can get a 3G wifi router. My Tivo and Direct TV dvrs pull data down just fine and the family cruises the internet no problems. That being said, I wont be doing any file sharing soon. I could always borrow the neighbors if I really needed but people dont realize that cell phone companies are gearing up their networks to take away business from the cable cos. |
