I have two HDTVs and want to know how your HD programing is with local cable. Around here it sucks, you get MAYBE 10 channels but I never experience weather related outages like I have heard occur with a dish.
Any input on that as well?
I'm leaning toward getting a dish b/c I can get up to 80 channels in HD but I'd hate to lose signal on the stormy days which make me just want to stay inside and watch tv all day.
So what say you, cable or dish? I'll be moving this summer to an apartment if that makes any difference.
I would have answered your question, but I didn't because all I've ever had was cable so I can't really compare it to the other services. I've been happy with cable- I don't watch a ton of tv as I don't have time for all the extra channels, but I get my HGTV, History Channel, MSNBC, CNBC, etc along with local stations that I watch and I'm happy with that. I also get my internet service through Cable and have been happy with the service. For my basic service and cable internet I pay $91.00 a month. Hope this helps
I'm not sure about needing to subscribe to cable for cable internet...you should be able to find it on the CableOne link above...
...I know my parents have CableOne internet and it is down quite often. Overall, it seems CableOne is subpar. At least from what I've seen. Others may have different experiences.
Dont waste your money on the so-called HDTV converter boxes or the crap antennas they sell for them. If you know anybody thats thinkin of going that way warn them to keep their money and do without.
How about neither. I have found both to be a colossal waste of money. High Speed I-net and Netflix/Hulu are sufficient for my needs. I guess if you are a big time sports fan who has to see all events in HD then that would be one thing, but beyond that it is a complete waste of money IMHO. Incidentally as far as i-net goes I would avoid cable one like the plague (bandwidth throttling limitations, small caps on peak speeds and very strict monitoring on all your i-net activities). Qwest's fiberoptic service gives you far more for the money. I currently have a 12Mbps connection with Qwest with NO PHONE SERVICE for $57 a month (Good luck even getting that speed with Cable One to say nothing of the price). And at most my connection speed suffers a 15% drop off of peak speeds. With your cable one service, as soon as you Download or Stream anymore than 1.5GB, then they cut your connection speed by 40%.
