Re: They Picked Up My Cable Box Today
Right on! Welcome to the satellite club  We have Directv and the DiretvDVR, it's awesome! Crystal Clear channels, including 18 San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose/Santa Rosa locals versus 8 snowy, fuzzy ones with Adelphia. We have Powerlink, but that's our only connection with Adelphia now.

| Hey ILOVELA2,
How much are you paying for Powerlink alone in your area. I am planning to do the same thing as you... PowerLink and Satellite TV service.
And if you dont mind me asking, how are you paying monthly for the TV/Internet service you have now.
I live in the Northeast area of Los Angeles, and I am serviced by the Eagle Rock office.
By the way, what Satellite package did you get??
Thanks. |

| I'm not ILOVELA2, but I do have a similar situation to him. I subscribe to DirecTV for tv service and Powerlink for my internet. I currently pay $88 a month for the top DirecTV package and 3 receivers, while I pay 51.95 a month for only Powerlink. As of January 1, there will be an increase of Powerlink pricing here to #54.95 a month, if you own a modem and $57.95 a month if you lease theirs. I think their pricing is getting a little high, but there is nothing in this area that offers the same kind of speeds for that price right now, so I am willing to pay it. |

@adelphia.net | chrisbmoore, I fell the pain. All the channels in Satellite service digital?
One more thing, does directv carry the same channels as Adelphia?
Thanks.
I think I will make my move on January. |

| I'll be completely honest with you here......after experiencing DirecTV, I would NEVER go back to cable again. All the channels are very clear and have a nice digital picture. As for HDTV service, they do have it, but it only carries about 10 channels right now. The equipment for it is also about $400. However, all the regular channels do carry a great picture and if you purchase a receiver with a dolby digital output for your home theater, many of the channels carry the Dolby Digital signal. For the price I pay for their package, they carry more channels than Adelphia does. One channel they have that Adelphia does not is Trio and also Oxygen. I like Trio because it often carries some old shows other channels don't.
I can tell you you will not be disappointed with the switch as long as you have a professional installer. My service only goes out when it rains hard, and it will come back on within 2 minutes in most cases. I have never been down for more than 5. |

| That's it man. I am just waiting for my month free to finish and switch to satellite. My neighbor had the directv dish, and he invited to check it out. It looks nice, so I leaning towards that direction.
He also told me that me that out local phone company told him that DSL ($29.99) is up and active in our area. So, I might do a complete swith here. Believe me, I have not problems with Adelphia as a service provider, but the prices are killing me. |

We pay around 75 a month for the Directv portion and we get so much for the money, it's awesome!!!
It's so much better that Digital Cable, both in terms of price, choices and quality, we get 18 locals on Directv, all clear and digital, on Adelphia, it's only 8 snowy, fuzzy ones, plus, we get network feeds from LA and NYC, and DVR, things not availabe from Adelphia here. I love my Powerlink, but for tv, Directv rocks! I hope that helps, sorry I was so slow in responding
