Cablevision sucks

 Yes, this is a rant. Sensitive eyes or Cablevision employees should avert their eyes. Rant ahead.

Cablevision sucks. It blows, and all those other phrases.

In their infinite wisdom (and also a way to pad their bank account), they removed SciFi from the lineup unless you pay for their stupid "digital box." Yes, SciFi, along with several other channels, now require me to pay more than $15 a month (plus more taxes) if I want to get it on the upstairs TV. So, I'm going to downgrade their service, and check out dish. They charge an arm and a leg and then give me less? And they *said* they sent out a notice. Never got it. As Stan or whoever would say on SOUTH PARK, "Those bastards." Grrr....

Since we're in a prime area for hurricane damage, if they hit, I wonder how well Direct Tv stands up. Is it just a dish attached to the side of the house?

Usually. It depends on what you have. I have a townhouse and a homeowners association with rules on where you can put them, so mine is attached to the fascia board where a gutter would be, some people have them attached to poles along their fence or wall. When we had hurricane Wilma I know of only one person that lost their dish. My cable was out for over 2 weeks but the satellites were working as soon as the electric came back on.
