[Neighbors] Comcast Re Dux

Mon Jan 25 22:21:52 MST 2016

I just switched today to CenturyLink. I’m going to give it a try for 30 days before terminating Comcast. I’ll update this thread after I see how it goes.

The satellite dish worked fine in snow and rain.  My problem was that after the initial 'new customer' discounts ended, the price began to go up and up.  That is why now use an indoor HDTV antenna to get CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and PBS, and a Roku Streaming Stick for all of the free channels it offers and Sling (through my Roku) for ESPN, ESPN2, AMC, TNT, TBS, History 1/2, Lifetime, CNN, ABC Family, Disney and quite a few more. My Sling bill is just about $30 per month.

No bundle, no frills, no HBO, no sports package, just what is termed on my monthly bill as  basic cable TV service.  During the past thirty days or so Comcast has removed from my service  channel 47 (Spike - old movies), Channel 64 - TCM old movies) and, more recently, channel 19 which is a variety channel including older movies.  Needles to say, there has been no reduction in my monthly Comcast service fee of about $100, notwithstanding these 'improvements' in service.  I am ready to move away from the Comcast rip-off  but the question is, to where - which alternative TV cable provider?   I have looked at Direct TV which, compared to Comcast, does not seem too bad.  I am wondering if any fellow neighbors have been in my position, or had experience with Direct TV?  Would very much appreciate comments/recommendations.
