They may bite me. I am tired of them not showing up and using the excuse that they "tried to call". They were perfectly capable of calling me at 11 this morning to try to come early, but when it comes to calling me to actually show up at my house during the appointment window, no dice. 

It's almost as bad as the UPS guy who "can't find the address" on the days he's running particularly late.

(Also, it would be great if they could figure out what buttons they need to press to make CableCARDs work without sending a person out)

Satellite TV my friend. Let me know if you are interested.

I haven't looked carefully, but I seriously doubt I've got line of sight to all the necessary satellites for either Dish or DirecTV, anyway. Not without a series of unfortunate incidents involving my neighbor's trees anyway. Besides, I have about a thousand dollars worth of TiVos I'd have to sell if I switched.

[DolfanBob]

I gotcha. You cant live in Sherwood Forest and get Satellite TV.

Exactly. I just wish DirecTV would do something about their slow donkey HD DVR's. I've heard the new models are much better, but they want far too much to send me new ones.

I'm upset with Dish dropping AMC. The Walking Dead is awsome.

I got my satellite TV from DolfanBob. He got me a great deal. Mention me and I get a rebate which I will use to buy you lunch at a fine restaurant.

If I hurry can it be a chicken fried steak at Blue Dome Diner?

Over the Air + Hulu and/or Netflix my friends

I can't give up HBO, I'm addicted to GOT and VEEP

In addition to Hulu and Netflix you will need something to record over the air shows. Sometimes you can watch shows on the Network's website when they are not available on Hulu or Netflix (Like Downton Abbey at pbs.com) is you didn't catch them live or weren't able to record them. Personally I find the content on Netflix is wanting.

Talk about going back to rubbing two sticks together. "Meh" to each their own.

Far less compressed than satellite or cable, and it's free.

Do you also have a land-line?

How is it free?  You still have pay for the internet.  And the cable cos are starting to get wise to this via capping.  All that stream chews up a TON of bandwidth.

Cox fellow showed up and made everything work, so I'm happy for the moment. Apparently, it's not great to have water in your drop from the pole.

DB, last week in the WSJ there was an article about a projection TV system that just finds public domain material at minimal cost. So, it's not HD because none of the program quality is very good. Sooner or later, the integration of the various delivery forms will enable us to customize our own programming.

Meanwhile, the hopper.
