What's the bitch?

Don't like it, get satellite.

It's not rocket science.

So unless you stop hitting yourself in the head with a hammer you will continue to hit yourself in the head with a hammer.

Well.....DUH!!!

The wonderful world of competition.

Cable in my area is a high-priced joke, so I got DirecTV. You can't beat it for the price.

The higher the prices for broadband in your area, the more companies you'll find making an effort to provide service. Well, at least in theory.

Which is exactly what I did about 3 years ago. Time Warner is the only cable co. in the area, and rates kept climbing. I just tired of being screwed, so I've been a DirecTV customer since.....

The bitch is that I can't watch my local sports teams play without Comcast cable. Can't do it with satellite. Feels like Comcast is the one hitting me with a hammer.

Why not? The only network you wouldn't get is YES.

Comcast philly doesn't make their Comcast Sportsnet channel - which broadcasts 90% of all Sixers, Flyers, & Phillies games - available to satellite providers. These games are also blacked out when subscribing to sports packages via the satellite provider.

Umm.. many residents that live in apartments cannot get satellite due to restrictions on installing the dish.

Actually the FCC says differently.

The FCC grants you the right to put a dish in common property, but if you have no view of the south you are NOT allowed to just put a dish anywhere on the apartment complex's property.

stick a pole in a 5 gallon bucket of cement and mount the dish on it. Point it out the southern window.
