Re: im not impressed at all
quote:
t is much cheaper than Comcast was (now TimeWarner) here in Los Angeles.
DirecTv: 3 Tuners, free installation, free tuners, 1 year contract, with local channels, $45.99 + $5 + $5 = $55.99 /month + tax
Comcast: Standard Analog (no cheap $13 packages here) = $50.40 / month + franchise fees + taxes
Comcast digital = $60.40 + installation + programming fees + rental fees (per TV) + franchise fees + taxes.
Cable was more expensive.
With a HD DVR?
My choices last year were:
1) Rent HD DVRs from Comcast at $10/month each.
2) Buy two Hughes HR10-250's at $1000/ each, knowing that DirecTV plans to go to MPEG-4.
I do, however, pay probably another $20/month for a similar programming package. Comcast was a MUCH, MUCH better value for me. And I'm STILL waiting for DirecTV to get their sh*t together with their new HD DVRs.

[/BQUOTE :Today, in the LA market, the HR20, the MPEG4-compatible HD DVR is now available. Lease cost right now is $399, but discounts up to $150 are being given. No monthly lease, just monthly DVR service @4.99/mo. FYI. | |
