DIRECT TV, by far. i had both and tivo made it perfect. dish`s technology seems cheap their dvr can be slow. and sometimes it needs to be unplugged after daily updates it just freezes. please look strongly into direct tv. the only problem i ever had was we had a fire that destroyed everything and they would not help me out with another tivo mine was brand new. they more or less said oh well we had 3 receivers with tivo. your homeowners is supposed to take care of all that. but being hurt and out of work fork about a year forced us to give up a lot of things insurance being one of thoughs things. i was with them for 5 years. with good payment history. sorry it turned out that way but they are the best in my eyes.  good luck.

Why do you think I have Dish Network?  Comcast blows.

It depends.  Time warner has it and its either on CH. 26 or 58.  Dish network has it but I dont know what that is.  You cannot watch it on Cablevision or Direct TV yet.  They are still working out a contract and should have it by opening day.

OK Here I go...You hit a particular nerve with me.  I personally have a DVR box instead of just a cable box that records all shows that I want to watch and then I watch them on my schedule.  For ex: I never watch "LOST" on Weds I watch on Saturday when I'm not distracted (and quite possibly get scared) So I pay extra for the DVR but to me it's worth it. What I fear is going to be the new trend and it's already started is you're going to pay for cable, and then pay for TV shows per show to be able to watch them without commercials.  So if you don't have the DVR, but you get home from your shift, you can tune to a station that will repeat a show for you, with no ads for say 99 cents. Cable Co's are the last Monopoly that have yet to be dealt with; in most areas you're supposed to have a choice between two alternate methods of reception, but Satellite is one of the choices, so there really isn't free market for most cable subscribers. This really frosts me because then they bundle your internet/phone/TV/Cable/DVR/Cable box and tell you you're saving money.  But as you said, if you watch TV after 2:00 a.m. there is no TV; it sucks as bad as in the 80's

I dont know about time warner cable, but on Dish network it is $50.  I imagine it's about the same.

I have worked for cable, DirecTV, and Dish Network. Satellite technology is definitely better than cable. I quit doing DirecTV because they pay their technicians by the job so most of the techs were doing crappy installs because the more they do the more money they make. I kept getting in trouble for taking too long because I spent the time at each house doing the job right. I went to Dish Network where I am paid hourly. Dish network's commitment to quality and customer service is way, way higher than DirecTV. So I would highly recommend Dish Network above all others. The technology between DirecTV and Dish Network is the same, but Dish Network is cheaper.

Yes you might check into nextel or your cell phone provider.  Also a lot of the Direct tV USERS etc like my father has a satelitte dish and he gets internet from the dish.

cable is not that bad if you have basic programing and then the internet service. Its direct tv thats expensive because you have to have a seperate dish for your internet and another one for your tv..thats a lot of equipment. trust me i used to work for them.

try dsl- it is almost as fast. i still prefer cable but in my area there are a lot of promotions so the price is still right.

I have directv extra innings too. Instead of checking the extra innings channel check whatever fsn channel they come on.

Netflix all the way, I've had both and Netflix delivers a day faster and has more selections.
