Cablevision sucks

[wraithfodder]

 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....

I've tried all three... cable, directv, and dish network...over the past few years. Just a couple of months ago I dumped directv (after 2 years) for dish network and am loving it. The one thing that sealed the deal was that it was cheaper and I got more channels. I noticed someone else was telling you about directv and thought before you took the plunge you might just want to check out the other offers out there. Overall, I'd never go back to cable.

Oh, and both satellite companies put dishes on poles cemented in the ground by the house. (Never have it put on a roof. Learned that lesson the hard way.) Other than the occassional rain fade when there's heavy cloud coverage or storms, the picture is great.
