Default No YES On DirecTV

I checked my DirecTV channel lineup and didn't find the YES network.

Embarq's internet service (DSL) is quite a bit slower than the cable-based internet service provided by Comcast. DirecTV has considerably better TV offerings than Comcast. I was told that an interrupted signal from the satellite was a problem here when using a dish. My experience is that we had more such service interruptions "up north" (Chicago suburbs) than we've experienced here with DirecTV. DirecTV is now offering "On Demand", which Comcast offers in other parts of the country, but not here because of antiquated underground cabling and inadequate head-end computers.

You'll have to tear my DirecTV remote from my cold, dead hand. I've also had good service and results with the Comcast broadband service. I use Embarq for landline phone and Verizon Wireless for our cell phones.
