Comcast

Goodbye. It has been a long relationship that began in 1975. I do not like to talk with you on the phone. I will not miss you.

There is no HD in our area even though we have had to pay for it each month as part of our bill. The cable reception is awful and it is often not working properly. It is also more expensive with lesser service than any other city because we are in a rural area.

Recently, a notice appeared on each cable stations that now every TV in the house needed a control box. We have four TVs. We have basic service. We don’t want to pay monthly fees for four boxes. Oh, and it was going to cost a lot more for basic service.

We called DirecTV. They were here within two days. No rental charge for the boxes. No charge for the dish. No charge for installation.

It was installed today. The picture is amazing. We feel like we have finally come into the 21st century technology-wise. DVR? Magical! We only have one HD TV so far and we just cannot believe the clarity of the many channels. Turner Movie Classics! Bravo! Speed Channel! We are happy.

Now, we have hundreds of channels but still nothing is on!! HA!!
