Plus the operator at AT&T said the ticket was coming to them,I dont know if thats true,it doesnt matter,thats not why I switched.The dvr that comes with it is awesome,record 4 shows at a time,program your dvr from the net,playback recorded shows on any tv.\Plus my hd on directtv would get out of whack every month and it almost always went out if it rained.I had to pray it wouldnt rain during a skins game
I know DirecTV has exclusive rights to the Sunday Ticket through at least 2010, if not beyond.

camera angles and replays. Subscribers to the premium NFL
SUNDAY TICKET package will also have access to a new "Red

No I was joking but I don't have any that are HD. They all have a great picture so I just have a hard time replacing something that works great just to have the newest thing going. As the prices drop on HD TV's I'll probably go out and buy one. As far as TV's we have 4 and thats three in the house and one in the garage which is where I watch most of my football. As far as cable v/s Direct its been so long sense I have had cable it would be hard for me to compare the two.

How is the goverment providing funding for converter boxes creating new jobs? With or without their funding people still will needed the converter boxes.

It would be fun until you had to walk into another persons house. I can just imangine the stories Comcast guys have.

When in HS I worked construction, we were putting an addition onto this house. Every morning this three bill lady boiled up a dozen eggs and proceded to eat them while watching us work, oh did I mention she dipped them in mayo as she went along. By 11 am I could smell her farts from out side the house. GROSS!!!

Later on down the thread, it sounds like you have DirecTV. If so, you don't need any converter boxes. Only people that pull their TV signal from the air need a converter.

I have 6 as well. one in the finished basement, den, family room, master bedroom, and 2 in my childrens bedrooms. If you count the antique that we have on the enclosed porch then it is 7, but we never watch the damn thing.
