You speak untruth inetnawlins. The majority of people in my area which is the northsore are switching to DirecTv period. The population is not happy at all with the cable carrier Charter. The people are sick of the price increases for nothing. The people are sick of channels they cannot get because cable decides in it's almighty wisdom that it is to pricy to carry that station, but we will give you 13 spanish soap opera channels. DirecTv has upgraded so much that during heavy thunderstorms there is no interruption of service at all in my house. Live in a fantasy land all you want but my first cousin works as a head end technician at one of the local companies and they have meetings on how to save thier customers from leaving. He states that every day people are comming in and turning in thier cable boxes. When asked why they are turnning in thier boxes, the response is that they are not moving but switching to satellite. He says one of the big things that hurt them locally was after the storm if you had electricity and satellite, you were watching tv, but if you had cable, it was months before you got to watch any tv. The cable companies are so desperate that they are offering money and free months of cable if you will bring them your satellite box and install cable instead. These are the facts from the inside of the cable company. One other fact that is pretty important in relation to the NFL. According to the NFL DirectTv will continue for some time to be the exclusive carrier of the Sunday Ticket. You can say what you want, you and wyrm, but those are the facts and not from the DirecTv side, from the cable side, from a person who does not want to lose thier job in cable.
