said by MightyPez:Went with the HD/DVR package about 6 months ago and love it. Previously I had a standard Comcast package. When I called to cancel my Comcast the rep tried keeping me on by asking why I was cancelling. in no uncertain terms I said their HD package was a joke. He promised me they would have, and I am not exaggerating, 1000 HD channels by the end of the year. May as well have promised 11 billionty.
Then he went on to say I would face serious outages due to rain fade. My response was, "Similar to the times where my TV and internet service would be down for
days on Comcast?"
All in all I've been very pleased with my level of satellite service. And the rain fade? Yeah, it happened once for about 10 minutes during a bad electrical storm.
1,000? Pish posh. That's nothing. I have 19,269,720,203 HD Channels... but I've yet to reach the end.
