Direct TV to the Rescue

I have been so fed up with Comcast that I finally researched other alternatives and discovered Direct TV. Unbelievable differences in quality of service and customer support. I spoke to Nathan at Sam's Club. As a Sam's member I will be receiving a $300.00 Sam's Gift Card for signing up. Also, a $10.00 per month discount for me and also to my neighbor for referring me.

But that's not why I signed with them. I can utilize the highest HD quality and bypass all of the older and scrambled cable in the house by selecting their wireless remote mini-genie. I can view (for no additional costs) the same TV stations remotely on my iPad or Smarthphone as long as I have a WIFI connection.

I have been smiling for days since I got it installed.

Are you still using Comcast for internet access?

How Comcast Plans to Boost Your Internet Bill With New Fees (CMCSA)

I wouldn't get to worried Comcast days are numbered like the Cell companies.
They can only get pigish until the market crashes on them.
Put a antenna up and point it toward Orlando and you will get 30 to 40 channels.free to air and have no tv bills just Internet 3 mgb's is plenty unless you are streaming video.
Don't let them up sell you folks.
People are already getting their favorite channels over the internet and canceling the TV service. Apple TV is one way. Educate yourself folks a small omni direction antenna with proper placement on the roof will get you alot of channels and the FCC protects you and preempts any local laws or Bylaws around here, don't be bullied and have your neighbors or The V tell you, you can't, they are breaking the law and can't make you take it down, how do you think all these satellite dishes got on peoples roof's

p.s i will try splitting my coaxial coming in for my internet and see if anything is on it, i'll give you a update

Where are the Florida elected reps who are to protect the Community against abuses? This is just another way of using the air waves as a facility to over charge and cheat customers. Only the Gov't reps can stop this and they are invisable. :yuck:

They are invisible because corporate interests have them in their back pocket through lobbyists and huge campaign contributions. The politicians americans vote for care nothing about you or your community!!!

Sounds like it's still to early to have a company that can compete against Comcast!
