Yeah.. that DVR thing is BS. Tell them your neighbor has one and you want one too.
Also... when you are talking to them on the phone.. mention that you are in touch with Direct TV or Dish as well. They don't like hearing the word Dish.
I have the take three package and also have the HD and DVR box. They have them. I'm actually on the second generation DVR already. You need to talk with new sales instead of customer service. They'll hook you up. (pardon the pun)
The HD is $5 the DVR is $5 and I even got HBO for $5. All well worth it. My total bill including Internet and Cable (no phone since they have to bill that separately by law) is around $100 and phone is about $40. I was disappointed with HBO. No Six Feet Under or Sopranos. Deadwood is great tho.
For the record..... I thnk customer service sucks. I think contractors suck and I think that out techs need to be given more hands on before they let them in the field.
Having said that... I can assure you that as far as the maintenance and outage control goes...I have that covered ;)
At least between the hours of 11pm and 8 am Wed thru Sun that is.
lol amen to the csr's and contractors sucking!! Ugh.. they're aweful! Maybe I should've mentioned that if they didn't want our business that we would go to direct TV or something like that... wonder if that would've made any difference. LOL
I have an old VCR to tape my shows. I haven't had cable since I moved out of my parents house when I was 18. So, a few months ago I got sick of using an antenna and tin foil and other metal objects to get the tv to come in so I ordered, basic, basic cable (antenna channels and community channels) and my cable bill went down. Comcast charges more to have cable internet without an additional cable television line up, even if it is just the $8.00/month one that I have.
I also don't have a DVD player. The whole thing is weird considering how much I like computer gadgets.
Yeah, I have some classics on 8-track, but ya never know if you're putting them in the deck for the last time. And over 5000 LPs. Picked up 60 New/NM in Saint Peter last week @ $0.50 each !

Starz, if you get anything get Starz.
You have to remember we have Video on demand too. So what ever movie channels you get also gives you access to that channels movie bank for the month.
I like HBO and Starz
I just closed the window, but it said it wasn't available in my area yet and I could sign up to be notified when it was.
HBO is good for series.
Starz for the movies..
HBO for the shows...like soprano's, deadwood, etc...
Yeah.. that DVR thing is BS. Tell them your neighbor has one and you want one too.

I love the "on demand"...I've been watchin' shows like the orginal "starky and hutch" etc....
smurfs for my kids...etc...
[Edited by on Feb 20, 2005 at 04:28pm.]
Yeah those Web people suck ass at keeping things up to date.
When you call just ask. I think there is a limited supply. If possible.. get a dual port Vs the single port.

RU saying I'm a TV addict?
Well, you'd be right my friend.  Just set the DVR to tape SNL's first five years tonight.Â

Sorry Leela. Truly sorry. :-(

Hey Leela - I hear there's a deal on these over at Grants.
Or was it Red Owl or Shopper City?
I know of Shopper City & Red Owl, but I've never heard of Grants.
She's even got a 40G IPOD photo.
It's weird she doesn't have a DVD player.
but I've never heard of Grants
K-Mart bought them out in the early 70's
Yeah, but it was a bitch getting my music from 8-tracks onto the ipod.
Yeah, but it was a bitch getting my music from 8-tracks onto the ipod.
I can help you with that.
My low-tech stereo system consists of an 8-track recorder, dual-head cassette recorder, turntable, and 5-disc CD deck. Really.
And I bet it still rocks just fine Ian!

I remember my sisters had a "portable" 8 track player. The thing weighed about 15 lbs.
I could use one of these right about now ;)

I recommend corn. You know,
When you're feeling forlorn, eat some corn.
When you're treated with scorn, eat some corn.
When the world starts to stink-
And you start to think
You never should have been born-
Eat some corn.
