I had great service until recently too. I think they've outsourced too much, especially in smaller towns. Each time I had two different companies coming out and each were 60+ miles away.

I always have great service with directv, this was just a funny response that she was programmed to say

the whole voip thing is funny though, our directv reciever keeps saying "you have not made a call in XXX days"

right now it is up to 987 days

we don't need the phone call thing though other than to order pay per view, and since you can do that online just as easily, no worries

as for other cable systems, no way, directv is HANDS DOWN the best deal in the world

We have like 256 channels
XM Radio
TIVO (not directv dvr, the real tivo)

for $54 a month

you can't beat that with anyone else

I'm at 1182

I pay $100 a month - I have everything. But I THINK if I get my phone, my alarm, my internet and cable through the local company, I should be able to get a better rate. I just don't know if they have all the movie channels Direct has (not PPV, just HBO, HBOW, etc.).

we don't have any movie channels, just because we have blockbuster online.....right now we literally have 5 movies sitting downstairs to watch, that is way cheaper than getting the directv movie channel deals, plus I download all the series stuff like an hour after it is over

but those new local deals they have are pretty good

in fact, you can do your cable, phone and cell all in one package now for $99 through bellsouth....it might be directv with them though, not sure

I love the cable movie/show channels. I'm too lazy to download stuff and then make it where I can watch it on the TV

Remember though that my town has it's own cable/phone/internet/alarm company. Bellsouth is all but a distant memory. Working with a smaller company is SO much nicer, IMO

I have everything in my house networked, so when I wanna watch something I downloaded I just switch to "digital" on my receiver and hit play on my computer....it is pretty nice and saves us a good chunk of money every month

"networking", unless you want to see a bunch of wires everywhere, pretty difficult in a log cabin If everything's wireless, that's OK.

I like it the way it is. I also have an antenna that picks up Chattanooga stations in the guest room Though from what I hear, the local cable company has both ATL and CHAT stations. When I first moved here cable wasn't available at all - it's just been recent. And I can't get DISH - the guy tried to pick up a signal for hours
