It looks like it's time to switch tv service. I am using basic analog cable and Comcrap has been eliminating channels from the lineup to use the bandwidth for their digital tv service.
Of course they kept all of the &^$*-ing shopping channels in tact. To sum it up, comcrap customers are forced to pay to solve their technical problem. I can't get fios where I live so I can: a) keep paying the same top dollar for diminishing analog cable service b) pay more for comcrap digital cable tv and 3 set top boxes c) switch to sat tv (dish) and pay for 3 set top boxes Here's the rub. I'm using a pvr-250 in my mythtv setup and that becomes a brick when in any of the 3 scenarios. Anybody out there using a digital tuner card (pci) with mythtv or perhaps a fourth friggin box ? I suppose I could chuck mythtv and use the motorola model P.O.S dvr with comcast. My thoughts: a) losing mythtv would kind of suck b) the moto dvr definately sucks. I've seen it in "action". c) upgrading with comcrap feels like extortion - because it is. I have phone, internet and tv with comcrap. I wouldn't mind giving all 3 the boot if I switch. Technical thoughts, service vendor reviews, and general comcast bashing welcome. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
