I have Verizon.And before that I had Comcast.Say what you will about their ads but Verizon's service is light years ahead of Comcast....both TV *and* internet.Second only to the satellite providers in the number of HD channels,IIRC.
In my condo complex when Verizon became available I heard that a third of residents switched from Comcast in the first month.
Interested in the HDTV ping list?
Please Freepmail me (freepmail works best) if you would like your name added to the HDTV ping list, ( approximately 375 freepers are currently on the HDTV ping list ).
The pinged subjects can be HDTV technology, satellite, cable, and OTA HD reception (Over The Air with roof top or indoor antennas), Broadcast specials, Sports, Blu-ray/HDDVD, and any and all subjects relating to HDTV.

Note: if you search Freerepublic using the keyword "“HDTV”, you will find most of the past HDTV postings.
Anyone watch tv anymore?
Our apartment complex was stuck with Dish (via Mosaic) for a couple years. Before we had Cox Cable and were satisfied.
Within a week complaints were pouring into the office. I made it a point to submit a complaint every month. Our apartment manager could do nothing - it was a decision made by the head office. I sent a complaint to the head office, it was forwarded back to the apartment manager. I sent another one, asking it not be forwarded to our apartment manager because there was nothing she could do about it. It was forwarded to our manager.
Finally the head office sent out a letter asking people if we were satisfied with our service. Not one single letter was returned that supported Dish. Verizon FIOS was allowed in last month, the rep would be there starting at 9 AM. A crowd was waiting.
I now have FIOS. I can watch TV even in a heavy rain or with heavy cloud cover. Service isn’t interrupted every few hours waiting for the lost signal to be reacquired or the schedule to be updated. I can even flip back and forth between channels, Dish took 3 - 5 seconds to change channels.
I lead a pretty sad life. I’m getting old, I’m overweight, way to sedentary, failed to prepare properly for my retirement and could list a host of other problems. But I must say, it’s hasn’t fallen to a level of pitiful that having to wait 30 days for this movie or that movie to be offered by Netflix makes much difference to me. Like my Mom used to say, “Thank God for small favors!”
What they don’t show you is that’s one of the twins from Mothra.
There is actually some pretty good stuff on depending on what interests you.
Most of the time my TV is on FOX news but I watch a lot of discovery channel and History channel. CSPAN also comes in handy.
But I like Verizon....lots and *lots* of channels,including *lots* of HD channels and great internet speed.It's a bit pricey,though.
Comcast has everyone by the short hairs in my complex. The association covers cable and Comcast bundles 3 services. So, most people default to Comcast because the only alternative is Qwest.
Comcast’s billing is notorious. I got hassled once over a bill even given that I do electronic bill pay. Then, for months my Comcast bill was $2.00. Some older woman in the area went to the local Comcast office and smashed their glass tops with a hammer. Since then, they’ve been behaving better, but only marginally so. Apparently, all the employees (even those overseas) have been told about the mighty wrath that their shoddiness provoked.
Tell me you are not watching Dr. Who.
That is correct!
Newsflash- Nature is NOT sentimental. Any prime time nature show should be checked out before letting the kids watch.
The little we saw of Life was beautifully filmed, but we couldn't get past having to listen to Okra.
Hey! What's wrong with Dr. Who?
Digital TV has shut down your TV.

Nothing wrong with Dr. Who, I will be watching it later today.
