Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners DirecTv - some advice for you

In the Bay Area, I moved from DirecTV to Comcast because I really prefer Tivo. I had the HD DirecTivo but it didn't support MPEG4 so I wouldn't get the new channels, in addition to the fact that I had to get a replacement for the triple LNB that I already had.

When the Tivo Series 3 came out I jumped on it as soon as I could get a friends and family discount. I upgraded to 750GB, moved my lifetime subscription and don't regret my decision much. We have enough HD to keep me satisfied, though SciFi would be nice. Plus I'm in a location where I can get OTA HD pretty well.

I like that Comcast is monthly, versus DirecTV's 2yr commitment. My ONLY complaint for digital cable is that SD is HORRIBLE compared to satellite. However, that's not a huge issue because I pretty much don't watch anything that is not HD anymore.

I've got these available to me in HD from Comcast Digital Cable:

Fox
KRON (Bay Area local TV)
CBS
ABC
PBS (local)
InDemand HD
FoxSports Bay Area
Versus/Golf
Discovery
ESPN
ESPN2
TNT
Universal
MHD
HBO-HD
Cinemax-HD
Starz!-HD
Showtime-HD
