Yeah, a few weeks ago we finally decided to ditch the DirecTV. With 2 HD TV's in my house, each wanting a seperate HD DVR, our options were limited. DirecTV have only the MPEG-2 DVRs, that they wanted over $200 for each. Dish network wanted the same price but would only give us ONE HD-DVR for the entire house (Claiming it could be used for both HD sets, but, doing a lil bit of research I see that the other HD set would only get an SD feed! Useless!).
So, in the end, Cable it was. No Setup Fees. No "Lease" downpayments. And ALL local channels in HD.
We were DirecTV customers for almost a decade, but, they just don't have their act together, so alas, good bye for now!
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
