No more "TV Guide Channel"

Those bastards at Comcast took away the channel. Now you have to sign up for Comcast HD. Surf's up!! Dude.

one word- Dish. It does go out when it rains so that might be a problem for you though.

yeah teh time I want to watch tv the most is when the weather is shitty outside, that's why I wouldn't buy satellite service

Well, last I saw Cali doesn't get the rain that everyone else does. In the monsoonal areas like Seattle and New Orleans and Tennessee, rain causes those things all kinds of trouble.

We really don't have monsones/down pours

Just a constent drizzle

My parents have had dish service sine it hit the market. They live deep in the Colorado mountains with all kinds of bad weather. Their's never ever ever ever goes out. If yours goes out from some weather you've got other issues.
PS. Dirty secret of the cable industry. All their feeds are satellite and retransmitted to you through the cable.

The point is that this is just the start of Comcast moving stations to HD so we have to pay more to see what we already had. Bastards.

Fett, I got rid of cable because they were at the point of switching over to digital and stopped. AT&T was selling off parts of the company. All of my premium channels have heavy white lines. Had about 10 guys come out and no one would listen to the last guy who told them what the issue was. They broken my fucking VCR! It was always our problem with loose connections in the house. We had enough and when to Dish. Comcast finally bought our town back and finished it, but with the dish we have been getting a better picture then cable ever had. Except when it pours of course.

Heavy cloud cover and rain can block your satellite reception, usually for just a brief period. Happens here from time to time. Look at it this way Fett, No TV guide channel , no Joan and Melissa Rivers, now thats a plus

[fett]

Good point.

You are totally correct Fett. They just moved AMC (one of my favorite channels) from basic lineup, to digital a few weeks ago. Fuggers

[fett]

I didn't want to know that, but I know AMC will be next. Bastards. Roast in hell.

no Joan and Melissa Rivers, now thats a plus

Just a quick note, I'd do 'em both!

I think Joan's pretty foxy hehehehehehehehe
