freaking comcast
Evidently comcrap /xfinity changed the channel lineup again. We went to watch Diamond and Silk on Newsmax and it says I have to subscribe.
I log into my account, check my channel lineup and it's available. I call the village idiots and they say " we'll send a signal and it'll clear it right up". It's been an hour and the on demand box kept going into a welcome, restart loop. They told me 10 minutes. I call back, they put some foreign sounding lady ( indian?) on and it sounds like she has marbles in her mouth. I swapped a "simple" box onto that TV so my wife could watch her shows. I will call the village idiots tomorrow after I calm down |

Spectrum isn't much better
The last time my wife called with a complaint there were chickens in the background

I hate crapcast, too. My deal 2 year promotion deal/package is expired. I got a letter they are going up $5 per line item on my bill. Stupid things no one understands like, 'regional sports fee'. I don't watch and didn't subscribe to that. I watch VERY little TV. I like Motortrend chan. and the one that runs the Mecum auctions and that's about it. Doubt they let me add those ala cart. But, I will be dropping mine to the VERY basic channel lineup.

Only thing is....FOX NEWS is the only 1/2 was interesting shit on TV......
like it or not, at least it's INTERESTING....and up to date...... BUT, it's an act of GOD to get them anymore....fine on the LR set....with .net it's 135/month.....but on the back room set.....streaming is the only option without paying $$$$ a month more for the privilege of falling asleep to something interesting...... |

I'm paying $90/month for directv on 3 tvs including a dvr, and $70/month for 400/40 internet from cablevision/optimum/altice, so $160 all in for tv/internet. When directv finally collapses, i'll be forced to get tv from optimum/altice and the monthly will probably double.

The only thing I have with Comcast now is high speed internet. $115.00/month. I ditched everything else. If I want to watch the tube I’ll find something on Netflix or Prime. I’m done paying $200+ every month for channels I never watched.

I got tired of ATT's price increases and bad service. Cut cable and phone but kept internet. We have 2 Samsung smart tv with TV Plus on them. I also bought 2 HD antennas. Get 28 local stations and TV Plus has over 100 stations.
