Re: Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money
You absolutely can customize Dish Network. I actually just upgraded from Dish to DirecTivo (had bad experience with their support so I switched, assclowns would not replace a receiver that was giving a horrible signal, green spots everywhere. Move good rec to tv and it's fine. They wanted to bitch about cabling, emi, anything but fixing the problem so I switched.)
Either way, Sat > Cable by far. Tivo/any PVR improves your TV experience. Since I've had Tivo, I've spent less time watching more programming. The ease of recording future events, season passes, pausing live TV, it's an amazing tool to have. Currently own 3 Tivo's with DirecTV (record 6 football games at once  ) and a normal Receiver as well. I don't pay a lick for the Tivo service as long as I keep on subbing to the Premium Package. I did not pay for any of the equipment (incentive deal to get me from the Dish and my 2x PVR setup with 2 normal receivers) or install. How can you go wrong with a deal like that? I do keep $10/month cable basic service for local channels (also get locals on Sat but I like the PiP viewing of sporting events) as well. That's about all Comcast will get from me, well until they offer HSI.
Anyways, Cable needs to bring alot more to the table than they currently offer to get Sat users to switch over. |

Surprise! the cost of that is factored into the price you pay for that package! you arent getting anything for free (specially with the media companies)

Fitchburg, MA | Actually the premium service with or w/o Tivo is the same. Yeah, I know it's factored in there somewhere but do I care? Not really. I don't pay any more $ than the guy w/o Tivo so it's a wash in my book. |
