Help - Comcast or DirectTV?

12-06-2004, 07:07 PM

Moving the end of this month and can't decided to go Comcast or DirectTV. I've had directtv and tivo for years but the on-demand with comcast is looking interesting.

Anyone here tried both?

Thanks

As long as you dont have any wind or rain or snow of any kind.... go directv. I had it and the slightest bit of wind or weather at all shut it down. It was a waste in my opinion.

Comcast is always on.... bad weather or not.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Depends also on what type of TV you have as well.....dont get stuck with the old tech if you have a HD TV. Most of them have packages for the new shit.

I currently have directv with tivo and love it. I've had comcast and charter in the past... and wasn't too happy... The new on demand and tivo options with charter look cool... and I'm sure its the same with what comcast has in your area.

I think overall directv has great quality and weather has never been a problem... I think the cable commercials are a bunch of BS. My sat is attached to the side of the house and it doesn't budge... my dads large c band dish goes out all the time and mine never does.

i have both. directv is great for sports. comcast on demand is cool. only reason i got directv in the first place was because i had a card programmer and got all the channels for free. they black listed all the HU cards so can't get free channels anymore. once nfl season is over then i'll probably drop directv all together.

dual tuner directivo, nothing that comcast has out can even touch it...even with the occasional outage from rain...which normally only lasts 5-10 minutes...but ALWAYS at prime time

DirectTV all the way. Not a problem in the last 7 years. Cousin just got Dish Network 2 weeks ago and is already screaming bloody hell about the shitty service.

And if you get DIrectTV hit me up for a ref code -- I could use a discount on my next bill.

that OnDemand crap is really weird, you have to skip through about 10 mins of commercials, and there often isnt what you really want, unless you have EVERY CHANNEL. DTV...atw

On the contrary, I lived in Minnesota for years with Directv and even in some of the worst weather (and Minnesota is known for some pretty intense snow and rain storms) I would still have a good signal with Directv.

Good to know Warden... I've had dtv in Los Angeles for years but hell.. there's never any weather here so I was conserned what the Colorado climate might do to directtv.

Thanks!

Comcast has to be the worst cable company I've ever dealt with in every part of the country I've seen it in.

I had Comcast for around 4 years and had no problems with them.
Never tried DirectTV though.

Hey Joe-Comacst on the east coast now offers 10/month DVR services too. It works with all programming, so with that & the on demand the content & features are there, but the interface really really slow, with no preview like you get with directtv or other cable companies.

Comcast HSI
DirecTV w/tivo dual tunner
Extra upstairs receiver

The only way!
Bill is cheaper also when combined.

Why compromise any of your signal? Especially if you have an HDTV set. Get the direct line (cable).

I have Direct TV but only because the people at Comcast are a bunch of dicks and don't deserve my money. As soon as I get an HDTV set I'm going to go crawling back though.

Comcast. i fucking hate the dish from DT.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

DirectTV with their Tivo unit. You can't beat it in SoCal. Especially if you like sports since DirectTV is the only one with NFL Sunday ticket, March Madness, all that kind of stuff.

On demand would be nice but Tivo kinda takes care of that, I would say. ;)
