but it looks like to me, you can have the starter and get HD.

that's what i was looking at, too. | #22 | ||
|
i am trying to find my happy place while considering comcast, directv, and dish, while also comparing tivo (which i love, but doesn't work with digital/hd
without more $$) with the dvr's of comcast, directv, and dish.
if anyone knows - i understand you can use one satellite receiver for two tv's in separate rooms (and watch different things on each tv). my question is can that receiver be a dvr, and can you watch dvr'ed shows in either room? i'd like to have two, and it would save a few bucks if it worked that way. /not trying to start a tech thread, i know there are forums for that elsewhere. |

As I understand it... | #23 | ||
|
both receivers have to have DVR to be able to access the DVR menu. But they are shared.

One receiver for 2 TV's is only on Dish, I think. | #24 | ||
|
Two separate DVR's, but I'm not sure if you can watch a recorded program from either TV.

it looks like dish has what i'm looking for: | #26 | ||
|
from this website. if it keeps me from having to pay for 2 dvr's or 2 hd boxes, it could be a money saver. plus, dish has hd locals in jackson (supposedly...).

couple of things: | #27 | ||
|
1. That DVR kicks tons of ass. Literally tons.
2. The dual-tuner thing has one drawback - only one tv (the primary one it is located next to) will be in HD. The 2nd tv is in standard def. You can, however, record 2 different HD shows simultaneously. 3. Dishnetwork DOES have the local NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX affiliates in HD. (ok, that was 3) |

sounds pretty good to me. | #28 | ||
|
the second DVR would be for the bedroom, and no HD in there isn't that big of a deal. and the bedroom is right next to the keeping room, where the other
DVR will be (with HD).
hmmmm - dish network could be taking the lead... thanks for the insight. |

Even better - Madison is getting AT&T option | #29 | ||

If this is Japanese, please make smartass comments.
http://www.dailymail.com/ap/ApTopStories/200905080130 Friday May 8, 2009 Madison open to cable TV rivalry The Associated Press MADISON, Miss. (AP) - Madison has approved a video services agreement with AT&T that will allow the company to compete with Comcast for television viewers. The Board of Aldermen this week gave AT&T the right to enter the market. AT&T does not have a timetable for introducing the service into the city. Frances Smith of Comcast said she believed the agreement that Madison was signing was "too open-ended." AT&T spokesman Mike Walker said its about competition, giving the citizens of Madison a true choice. |

I've heard nothing but complaints about Uverse here | #30 | ||
|
apparently if you think Comcast has bad service, AT&T's is far worse. People also say the quality isn't as good. No idea why.

Knowing ComCrap cable, it'll just be a digital standard and no HD version. | #33 | ||

I don't even care of AT&T is worse. I just want to have another cable company to go to when I throw down an ultimatum to keep my "Package"
price. Hell, even if I have to switch back and forth to get the best deal, I would do it. Comcast rewards new customers with intro pricing, but sticks it up
the ass of current customers.

Why would it be bad policy? They don't have a contract with CSS, Comcast and Charter are joint OWNERS of the channel. If you aren't in a Comcast market
there's nothing that can be done about it anyway. If you are in a Charter or Comcast area, that channel is one of their incentives that they can wave
around when comparing them with satellite. CSS has been great the last 2 seasons, especially for FB replays and basketball. During baseball season this year,
not so much since Comcast has decided to place all Braves games on Peachtree TV on that channel.

According to wikipedia: "CSS is only available on terrestrial cable, and is used as a selling point of terrestrial cable service over satellite services
such as DirecTV and Dish Network. For the same purpose, CSS is occasionally offered to subscribers of other cable systems that may or may not compete with
Comcast or Charter in their specific markets." Never gonna be on satellite.
