DirecTV vs. cable

mlmdub130 · 02-06-2010, 03:03 PM

so i have had directv for about 6 years and it has been great i'd say it's 10 times better than cable. however the directv on demand is a huge let down it's pretty awful and it seems like directv is getting more and more expensive,and the programing has gotten worse.

i will be buying a new house soon and am thinking of switching to fios, since i can bundle tv, internet,and cell phones. just wondering if anyone has any first hand knowlegde about fios and what they thought of their service and how much they were paying.

i pay about $165 a month on average for directv since i have 3 dvr's two of them hd, another non hd box and i get every movie channel. any help would be great, just from looking at verizon's website looks like i can get all three for around $320 a month.

plus it will be nice not to have to throw snowballs at my dish to knock snow off so i get my hd channels, already had to to it twice during this storm, i even sprayed the damn thing with pam, since a directv tech told me that would help
