We get great surround sound with the digi
box. :-0)
I was
saying that the digital cable receiver didn't have the inputs or outputs for
surround sound. My satellite receiver had place for optical inputs and outputs
which greatly increases your sound quality. Not to mention, Comcast didn't
broadcast half their channels in digital surround, only the movie channels so
more than half the functions on my surround sound receiver wouldn't work.
exactly..just like the
digital cable.
I was simply clarifying
since Angela *seemed* like she was saying satellite came with it
already....LOL

You can have surround sound with
satellite just like with anything else, you just have to buy it and hook it
up. lol :P

The BFE comment wasn't
meant to be rude.
I know alot of people on
my other groups who DO live in BFE and they themselves SAY they live in
BFE..meaning out in really rural areas...
That's all I
meant..don't be so sensitive.
My sister's satellite
doesn't give her surround sound either..LOL
We have a surround sound
system with a DVD player. Plus another DVD player in the family room. We
keep our VCR's because the kids (and myself) have too many movies on VHS.
I can't afford to just throw them out and replace them all on DVD yet. But
I am slowly working on it so we can be done with the VCRs...
Given that my husband
works for this company and he sees all the new equipment and such(as do I
because they always give the headend guys the newest stuff to bring home
and test), I can say for a fact they don't use substandard equipment.
They spend alot of money on advancements and better quality machines. They
almost always have the latest greatest thing before any other cable
company. Our digi cable boxes are pretty much brand new and state of
the art. We've actually only had these 3 current boxes about 4 months. My
husband is always bringing home newer versions. The next ones to come will
have a similar Tivo capacity.
I am sorry you have
shitty service where you are. But that's not the majority. Just like
anything else..there is good and bad everywhere.
My Wal-Marts here are
fairly nice. But I hear from others they wouldn't shop at Wal-Mart if
their life depended on it. So it's all in where you are.
One Outback might have
great service where another one has crappy service.

Nope, just Comcast's substandard equipment. Besides I don't need
a VCR, I have my Tivo. We have our surround sound with optical outputs
which the dig. receiver didn't have, plus our DVD player. I don't even
have a VCR anymore. But as I said its a matter of personal preference.
Not worth arguing over. And for the record, I didn't appreciate the BFE
comment. But I'm not saying what I would say to most in that
position.
y'all must live in
BFE..LOL
We have everything
including surround sound hooked up, 2 VCRs, and tv to one digi
box.
<shrug>

Well we have to remember, Bethany's husband I think works for
Comcast.....LOL< so I'm trying not to say anything too bad about
them. (but for the record, you are right) Oh yeah with our digital
receiver, we couldn't hook up any of our surround sound stuff we
have with it. It didn't have enough inputs or outputs or something
like that.
I've never seen
anywhere that cable had half the channels you could get on
satellite, and usualy you pay more for the half you get. PLUS the
picture quality there is no comparison.....
On price, on picture
qualtiy, on number of channels you name it. Any way you slice it,
cable can't compare.

My satellite bill right now for all the
basic channels plus all the premium channels cept for Cinemax is
$81 a month. My digi before I cancelled it with only HBO was $97
and I only had half the basic channels that I have now. I can't
even get Sci-Fi on digi cable around here.
Really?
My sister
has satellite and hates it. Plus they have to pay extra for
local stations, etc...
She pays
more for her satellite than she would for digital. And as she
says...most of the satellite channels are useless
anyway.
I've been to
her house and I wouldn't trade my digi cable for her satellite
if ya paid me..LOL
Plus I love
my VOD too.

That isn't just
Comcast, cable can't compete with satellite period. Anyone
who's had satellite & digital cable, knows what a
joke digital cable is. lol No comparison,
whatsoever.....
Every time I see
the local commercial about trading in your dish for cable's
"buy back" program I crack up. I think yeah you do, and
you'll be sorry you did. lol

Sorry, but Comcast around here sucks.
Put it this way, I can get all the channels on my
satellite including movie channels for the cost of just
the regular digital channels w/no movie channels through
Comcast and their digital doesn't even have as many
channels as the satellite. Not to mention all the people
that work for Comcast around here are about as rude as can
be and the last time I had them for cable, they came to
fix it once and wound up breaking the cable input on the
back of my son's tv and then said I did it and not them. I
have good reasons for not liking them. Now, however, I was
visiting a friend once in Eastern Va and she had Comcast
and they weren't as bad. I think it's just this
area.
*sigh*
Dissing on my family's bread
winner...

I'm eventually going to have basic
cable run into my bedroom so I have a tv
to watch
and then I'm getting the cable modem through Comcast,
even though I
really do hate them. I want high
speed.
