I just got a new crib, and I'm trying to decide if I should stick with Digital Cable or upgrade to a satellite dish. Anyone had good/bad experiences with satellite or certain satellite companies?
Digital Cable is cheaper and weather doesn't directly affect reception. Not to mention local channels are included.
One of my buddies just dumped his satellite and went back to cable. His complaints: 1) LOTS of fees...it actually came up to be about the same price as cable. 2) Crappy or NO reception when it rains. 3) No service if something breaks.
you can get a cable modem w/o ordering cable... TW used to charge $5 extra a month for that setup, but now they don't.
Digital inDemand offers the MLB package, and I think they are bringing the NFL and NBA packages online.
are you serious? NFL package will be available via cable? I am the happiest man alive! (but probably won't be until next year, huh?)... darn, now i'm bummed again.
I don't think I can get digital cable where I live. I'm not sure about that, though. We got a satellite. and its a lot better than our previous 30 channel "cable," which includes local news from DENVER, even though I live in TEXAS. The only thing cool about that cable was that they gave us HBO and Showtime for free, despite us taking it off our list thing. The satellite does have some problems, but I like it. BTW, is digital cable usually only available in larger cities, EX: Houston, Austin, SA, ect? I'm just don't know if its around here, but I'd imagine no. There would probably have to be a large demand for it to be here.
The NFL package is currently the only one not available on cable. The only thing that really bugs me is that I see NBA league pass...but not the team pass. The team pass shows you all of the games for one team (ie Rockets), and was much cheaper. How much does the league pass cost per season?
i've never heard of team pass... that sounds really nice... i was planning to order league pass just to watch rockets games in austin again... league pass costs around $160.
Hi, My name is VooDooPope and I'm a Warner Cable Junkie. Digital + Hi-Def + Road Runner + NBA League Pass. $110 a month with out the pass.
tell me about it! digital + road runner + hbo + starz + showtime + cinemax + hbo on demand = TOO MUCH $$$ a month!!!! (add league pass to that if i ever start working again!)
My God man...how many B rate skin flicks can you stand to watch??? HBO, Showtime AND Skinemax??? Geez. LOL
hey, i know you must know how hard it is to make the hours pass every day while sitting on the couch! i can only watch so much of people "wannabeeing" teenybopper MTV stars, old NFL films, reruns of old 80s sitcoms, Cita and her CGI world, and CNN Talkback Live before I go crazy! Variety is a must!
