Well then, turn about is fair play , rip off the fucking fucks:Graucho

Yep I kept HBO just for Curb, Sopranos, Bill Maher and HBO boxing.

My Directv bill is only $62 after taxes. I get internet from the cable company and that's only $58 after taxes. Plus I get basic cable included for that price.

Don't get me started...Those same fuckers that are ripping you off with DirecTV fucked me over good when I lived somewhere without cable or DSL.

Let me state for the record that Direcway Satellite Internet is the worst ISP ever, lousy service, overpriced, and by downloading upgrades (necessary for me to connect) I unknowingly entered into a new "contract" for another year. After closing my bank account so they would stop charging me, now they are sending bills in the mail. Even though the bank charged back the last time they tried to bill my account. They have my social security # and therefore they can fuck with my credit.

Fucking thieves! No one could get away with this shit in the adult world...It's rebilling gone terribly over the edge.

i just cancelled 200+ channels and shit.

i dont even watch tv much if barely at all.

My bill was way over 100 too, fuck all that.

trimmed it down and dont even notice missing channels hahah

When I lived in Death Valley, I had 5 recievers hooked up with Driect TV (had to use two dishes) and the bill was like $400/month if I didn't buy a lot of PPVs.

Time Warner Cable here, I got more channels, no problems with reception, cable internet for like $110/month

so FUCK Direct TV where they breath

i pay ZERO $ :)

I have cox cable with all the channels plus NHL center ice, 2 recievers one with tivo or whatever they call it, i pay like $120

then I just use wireless video senders to send the signals to TVs in other rooms, fuck paying for more recievers

If you're paying $200 a month it is NOT because of the receivers. $39.95 for one receiver and $5 an additional receiver for their basic package. Even if you have their entire lineup with 250+ channels that includes every single premium it's still only $88 plus $5 an additional receiver.

So either you're buying a shitload of PPV's, sports packages that you can't get with cable, and all sorts or porn each month or you have 20 receivers or so in your house!!
:1orglaugh

50 bitches paying 200$ per month for Direct TV.

Go Cable!:Graucho

Try and call the cable company and get 5 boxes for all your tv's on digital cable and then get back to me about the price. You'll be paying a shitload more than you ever would with DirecTV.

I pay for direct tv $120/month for 4 tv's tivo premium package but no sports package. it will cost me the same for cable with half the stations

You should be able to rewire that yourself and make them each share one of your other boxes. But keep in mind that they will only be able to watch what the other person is watching in the other room. Then after you rewire it just call DirecTV and canle the boxes you took out.

yep same here.

The Digital cable in this area is owned by Comcast...

They are the bigggest fucking crooks..

Shit, they charge me so much as it is for my cable internet..

Digital cable in all the rooms, with all the movie channels would cost just as much..

And there isnt even an NBA league pass aviable is there?

You are mad at us theives yet you want to rip them off yourself?

We pay $100 for Cox Digital Cable, DVR, HBO package and our cable modem. I don't think that's bad.

quit buying porn

But on their commercial they say "Direct TV --- all for a price that can be cheaper than cable"

I always wondered about the way they worded that.


Those fuckers. :mad:



I think I'll upgrade my service to full digital. It's only $109 per month here, and it includes cable modem. :D

and to think that the dept of justice goes after microsoft for bundling free shit with their os... the television services are the worst monopoly out there... the addition of satalite services was supposed to be good for competition but a lot of areas dont have the option of choosing between services because they arent availible... and the areas have both arent really benefitting from lower costs... you guys are adult webmasters who supposedly make a lot of money and it bothers you... as it should because its just a fuckin ripoff, but you wouldnt believe how many people who dont make a good living have cable bills in excess of over 100 a month... its fucking common and shocking... there has been talk of some kind of legislation in the works but no solution has been agreed upon yet... the best idea that i heard was a flat charge per channel of about a buck a month per channel... most people only watch a few channels anyway so this would be a good solution for the consumer... while i doubt it will come to pass i hope it does

directv here is $30 a month with 100+ channels including pay per view and porn stuff

boneprone,

perhaps it's time to invest in a card scanning machine to give yourself $900 in credits for every swipe, for free.

So you dont have cbs

Weren't you going to ICQ me about this a while back.

did anyone mention it's DirecTV not Direct TV?

:1orglaugh WTF

And you'll only be able to watch all the channels you pay for on ONE tv. Try adding digital to every room in your house and watch that price skyrocket.

Why not go with digital cable?

wtf? mine is only $39.00/month?

I wouldn't expect anything less from you :1orglaugh

Read my post above about C-Band, it has been like that for years. Most channels average around 10 bucks a year. Others are bundled with extra feeds. I pay $15/year for a news pack that has CNN, CNN Headline, CNNI, CNNSI & Fox News. Another package is $12.99/year for Nick east & west & TVLAND.

My most expensive pack currently is $49.50 for 3 months of 34 feeds of HBO & Cinemax. It's 27.50 for a similar sized package of Showtime/TMC/Flix/Sundance feeds for 3 months.

that's chump change for a player like you

Cool cable company. If ours did that I would drop DSL and local phone service and go completely cell phone.

Dude, you're not watching all those channels. That's for sure. It cost me 135$ (for all the God damn channels available) for BellExpress Vu and I managed to reduce it to 80$ without losing any channels I didn't want.

Again..

Anyone with Digital Cable or Satelite where there is a card being used is getting ripped off.

You can EASILY pay $10-$20 per $100 worth of units for your card. Forget these monthly fees. You can get EVERY channel, plus all the pay-per-view movies or events your lil channel surfing heart desires.

I paid for the satelite dish, 5 boxes, and 1 monthly fee for the lowest package, then I got this box, and now I get everything I want for pretty much FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

When I used to have regular cable, I had the black box, and got everything for free anyhow. They are fucking you, so why not fuck them right back..



:thumbsup

Wow, I think its illegal:thumbsup

Get cable, its cheaper.

its should have a cbs

holy i just pay $47 bucks and that is in canadian funds. You probably have all the packages. Here satelite TV is about $60 bucks and $5 per receiver
