Re: Still happy with DTV after all these years.

I moved from Comcrap to DirectTV because of their unreliability.

THEY had rain fade, numerous droputs, crappy picture and unreliable service.

I do get rain fade, but not that often. I am on the north side of a hill and cant get clear view of satellite.

Still better than CC. Nothing like watching a who-done-it and having the slightest power glitch cause their boxes to reboot (all on UPS on my end):

(Bright sunny day.)
Holmes: And the killer is...

pfsssst, 30 sec delay while thie boxes reboot..

Watson: Brilliant Holmes!
Holmes: Elementary Watson.

WTF happened?!??

The rewired my neighborhood with fiber, no better. Still way too unreliable. I found myself only watching things I could miss a few minutes of and still follow whats happening.

DTV has been great and cheaper.

comcast boxes take longer then 30 to fully boot up. More like 30 min+ to get full guild data back.
