wolfman Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 had no luck with atat uverse either..I've had no luck returning my cable boxes to them. I canceled my service 3.5 months ago and they still haven't mailed me the box to send them back in. I've called them like 5+ times! At least you can get through to their customer service though....Time Warner blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 We have DirectTV now and I don't think I'll ever switch back to cable. I love it. For internet, we have Road Runner through Insight. DirectTV has a lot of cool features like the News station (8 news channels on one screen, audio comes from the station you have highlighted), record shows from their website (scroll through the listings, click on a show, hit record, it sends a signal to your DVR box to record that show), caller ID (someone calls, it shows up on your TV), etc. We've been really happy with them so far.

e-flores Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 directv ftw!!! i havent had to deal with customer service or anything like that b/c i still live at home with the parents but i have never heard them complain about the service and we have used them for the last 10-15 years.

Harb67 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Here's another for TIME WARNER BLOWS!!!Their internet isn't bad, but my digital cable is pathetic. Unreliable, shoddy signal strength (breaks up a lot), the DVR itself is a really crappy piece of hardware, and the tech support makes me actively consider arson.

kawi kid Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 i dont have any problems with time warner here just tossing it out there. i know the equipment and stuff here in coshocton is different than what they use in columbus. might have something to do with it.

Unreliable, shoddy signal strength (breaks up a lot), the DVR itself is a really crappy piece of hardware, and the tech support makes me actively consider arson.^ Agree. Time Warner's DVRs are really shitty compared to say AT&T, frequent outages, customer service is a pain in the ass to reach, the whole Big Ten network fiasco was bullshit, uping their rates, EXPENSIVE, not many HD channels.... ummmm I'm sure there is more.The satellite signal thing isn't that big of deal. Sure if the weather is really shitty it can go out but it really doesn't happen that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Im thinking im a caveman. cause i only have basic Wide open west. wahts a dvr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoosego Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've got the wow digital package.... with the phone and road runner included, it works better then insight, and the phone is actually compatable with my alarm system, where insight wasn't, and the DVR works well it can record 2 shows at a time, but you can't watch a third... oh well too much tv rots the brain anywho.....

Cdubyah Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Direct TV. only thing I don't like is having to buy more boxes for more TV's. Granted you would have to do the same with digital cable. Internet is road runner through Time Warner. Really don't have a problem with them either.

Dweezel Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Home made antenna gets me about a dozen or so channels, about half in HD, so I'm more than happy. Only thing I watch is Discovery or History channel anyways and they arn't worth 60 bucks a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
