Cable vs Direct TV....What would BGP's use and why?

Featured Replies

I currenty have Time Warner cable and am seriously considering a move as well. It seems like every 6 months or so the price goes up and I have no premium channels. Have strongly considered Bell Fioptics or maybe even a dish. I keep hearing and being told that you have to play the game in order to get the prices down or actually change services when the discounted prices disappear. Any truth to this?

I love Direct. I have had it for almost 11yrs with hardly any issues. The Sports Package is awesome!! Tell them I recommended you....:thumb:

I had cable and switched to Direct. I did keep the cable internet though. I cut my bill by $25 a month.

#2 must be a regional thing. I've lost signal maybe 3 times in the year and a half I've had Direct TV, and it was only for about 3-4 minutes each time, if that. :idunno:

 

Just got Sunday Ticket for Free, $30 off for next 12 months, and added DVR. Genie coming on Sunday. Never had DVR before, should be great!

I currently have cable(Time Warner) but hear nice things about DTV. What should I do?

 

Neither. I use dishnetwork.

Sounds like you got exactly what I got, my bill is $49.99 a month for next 12 months,Free Sunday Ticket,Genie,etc. think I could have gotten premium channels for 3 months, but didn't push. Cable with DVR is about 10 dollars more than that here and doesn't have all the HD channels or all the extras. Has anyone heard that this is the last year the Sunday Ticket will be with DTV? Read Google or Yahoo, it seems was going to be high bidder for it

I have had Directv since 1997. If you love sports, gotta have it. Directv>>>>>>>Dish.

DirectTV >>>>>>>expensive than DishNetwork

I've been comparing the last few days and that isn't true. Actually Dish appears to be slightly higher.

I have Comcast. Zero issues and I don't have to worry about the weather. Both my parents have had satellite for a long time and it goes out all the time.

I have TWC and its ok for the first year. Then they jack up your price. If Google Fiber ever comes to our area thats where I'm going. Probably wont be for next couple of years though.

I have D-TV and I love it. Only draw back is after your 24 month contact is up it's kinda pricey.

 

I just got Sunday Ticket for free, the Genie, Cinema Connection Kit and 20 bucks off a month for 12 months for re-signing for 24 more months.

Just saw this. You did better than me. They only gave me 20 bucks off a month for 12 months.

You got the Cinema Connection Kit though, whatever the hell that is. :lol2:

I love my DirecTV. After Don Weber and cast left Insight it was an easy choice. I'd be down for a referral if you want to save $10 on your monthly bill.:thumb:
