Cable vs. DirecTV


Darth Biscuit

Recommended Posts

OK, I just got my latest TWC bill and it's just ridiculous...

I've got Digital cable with two boxes, one is a DVR, RR light, and TWC digital phone and it's like $165/mo. I called customer retention and they cut it to $142, but that's still steep IMO.

I'm looking into DirecTV, if nothing else to get some good pricing to get more leverage with TWC... anybody got any tips or suggestions on this?

Any bundles worth looking at?

if you decide on DirecTV let me know. we can both get $100 if you do before you schedule an install.

FYI. i made the switch, and got them to throw in sunday ticket at a very discounted rate. with all the football i can watch my bill is a little less than cable was with twc. after the season i'll save about 40 a month over cable.

I pay $89 /month for HD DirecTV package and I pay $100 /month for Phone/Internet/Cable from Comporium. So don't ask me for advice unless you want to pay too much for the sh*t.

I frickin' LOVE DirecTV though. Hands down the best decision I ever made in the home entertainment game.

You should also look at Dish network. Their single box Dual DVR are the shiz. If you have multiple TVs the startup costs are much cheaper. DTV wants to charge you for everything.

I have 4 TVs on two receivers. Each dual DVRs. One is Hi-Def to my 42" LCD.

Silver package, Hi-Def programming, Free Cinemax with paperless, Redzone channel all for about $80 per month.

Go build a 4 DVR, Hi-def system on DTV. Then get out your checkbook 'cause it's going to cost.

This cannot be beat, I posted this here a while back. Add $5 per month onto that for the Red Zone Channel:

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
