We are in a similar situation as the OP. In Feb our 2 yr commit with Direct TV is up. The outage during heavy rains is an irritant, but OK. We have 3 TVs with the Genie wholehouse DVR, and use comcast for internet ($30mo).
Rather than talk to a fast-talker sales rep... How is the DVR use for CenturyLink? I think we heard that when looking at a recorded show, can't fast-forward esp thru commercials etc. If so, that would be a big NO for us. We record some shows simply to watch the hi-points and ffwrd thru commercials. We have the midrange plan, no sports packs or HBOlike channels.
I plan to call DTV when our contract is up, and prefer not to haggle simply to get HBO for 6 mos etc etc. Would like to switch to a good cable provider if the price is right and the service is AOK.
Any assist would be appreciated.
