Ditching cable! Direct Tv or Dish Network?

[Reggoh]

I only watch Network channels for sports, ESPN, Golf Channel, Outdoor, Sportsman, Pursuit, Discovery, A&E, ABC Family, CMT, and my kids watch the cartoon channels...

Most nights I just watch MacGyver reruns on Netflix because there is absolutely NOTHING on TV.

I wish they would offer a "My Choice Package" that only bundles the channels that you WANT to watch... I like Swamp Snorkler's idea of just letting you pick 20 channels on top of basic cable... that would be plenty for me.

Marsh.....this is not true. We have Cameron internet and TV with the DVD recorder package and pay $ 129 per month. No phone with Cameron.

The fiber optics cable and service has been very good.

They made me get that package that Marshrunner is talking about also several years ago but since then I was able to drop the phone and just bundle the TV and Inter.

Really? I'll be calling them today! So they just dropped phone service? No changes as far as equipment or anything?

Just got off the phone with them. In my area (Carlyss), you have to have phone service to have internet. Lake Charles and Moss Bluff you don't.

It's because you're on the fiber cable. If you would be using DSL then you would need a phone line because the DSL actually utilizes a phone line to bring the service.

DirectTV. PM me and i'll give you my acct #, so when you call you save $10/month for 10 months, as do I.

eatel and ATT arent bad. dish/direct tv sucks. And weve been through all the above names. cox is the best in my book as far as quality but its also far ahead the race as far as price too. you couldnt pay me to have direct tv or any other dish.

Five years ago we moved into our new house and four years ago and 335 days ago we called direct(stick it to you) TV to set up our move. Leave the dish take your boxes call us 30 days before your move and you wont have to be without your TV. They even had commercials running about it at the time. Which we did and got a confirmation number. The day after we move in on the scheduled install there was no direct tv van in the driveway! I called and they tell me there is no record of my phone call and it will be 2 weeks before they can get to me to hook up my TV.
I tell them to stick it and they proceed to deduct $170.00 from my credit card for breach of contract. WHO really broke the contract? I will never use them again. I had been a Direct TV customer for 5 years.
