It probably works just about as well as having the technicial out and might make you feel better to boot. Have you tried standing in front of the set and swearing like a sailor?

Costs about the same and their techs know what they are doing. Funny post, though, thanks! Get Direct TV. Costs about the same and their techs know what they are doing. Funny post, though, thanks!

But, really, that's what it's about. We get our internet, our cable, and our phone all through the same company, so we only have one bill. And that <em>would</em> be convenient, but for the fact that I have logged countless hours on the phone with Insight. They are annoying beyond belief and apparently have no means of interoffice communicaion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to keep explaining over and over what the problem is to every individual there... But, we are going to get Direct TV if they don't get it fixed today...Sigh. I've had enough.

Sometimes there is a whole package; the dish, the TIVO, your service, the dish and installation for free or service for free the first few months. Ask them about TIVO when you call, if you don't already have it. TIVO has changed the way we watch TV. We're no longer bound to the TV at all. Everything we want to watch is all sitting in there, waiting for when we decide to watch it. We watch less TV now, actually, because there are no commericals to sit through (saving time) and we've become pickier in what we DO watch. It's pretty cool....big thumbs up! :-) If you do get Direct TV, be sure to get TIVO too.
