Did you know that Comcast has a Customer Guarantee that will give you $20 credit to your cable bill if it does not fix your problem on the first visit? Hold Comcast’s feet to the fire and get them to fix your problem. Their prices are high enough that you deserve a perfect picture.

I refuse to watch Comcast’s MSNBC and cannot understand why they are fool enough to put their name on such a piece of journalistic trash.

I miss unscrambled C-Band satellite.

You could watch a lot of channels, premium channels included for free with the exception of the cost of the hardware.

Most content can be viewed online, but pic quality can run from HD to pixelated.

For several years, it was easy to get every channel on DishNet by installing certain software on a “Free To Air” satellite box that cost about $100.00 and a DishNet Dual LNB Dish.

That lasted for several years up until about 2-3 years ago when DNet finally swapped out all the Cards with new encryption, but it was a fun four years while it lasted!

Boxing, MMA, PPV Movies, Premium Channels, NFL from around the CONUS before they “spotbeamed” local channels and I heard that Adult movies were available as well, but I never bothered to look at those...

Bell Express in Canada used the same encryption, so pointing another Dish at their sats got you all of their channels as well, including NFL Sunday Ticket.

Then the HD boxes came out. More expensive, but now you had HD as well.

Like I said, it was a nice 4 year run of free TV with every channel on DN wide open.

So I heard... ;>)
