We're moving in 7 days. I've decided, since the new place has a plasma
already sitting on the wall, that I need HD. Since I'm not willing to
drop a grand on the DirecTV unit, I guess I'm joining Sean in the land
of Comcast. They're the only cable provider in my area (Venice, CA.)
So far I have to admit they've been great. 1 year of HBO+Showtime
(SD+HD+VOD) + HD DVR + Cable Internet for $84.90 per month, guaranteed
for a year. My cells work in the new house (they don't here, just a
few blocks away) so I can also cancel Verizon phone and DSL.) Of
course there'll be a hike in a year, but I can always take advantage of
whatever DTV has on offer (in particular if the new birds are working.)
In the mean time my DirecTivo goes to a friend with the same package as
mine. I'll still be able to burn what I want and will have to grab it
over the net. No more 2 megs a second...
In the mean time expect an honest, informed description of how good (or
bad) Comcast, their service, and their DVR really is. I hate to go
back to them (bad previous experiences) but the deal was too good to
give up, and I have to admit I am curious.
Don't expect me to start blowing Sean any time soon, though. He is
still a prawn.
