More HD With Satellite TV

We have been itching to get rid of cable TV service for quite a while. The problem is they suck you in with their packages that include voice, high speed internet, and TV service. When customers need to disconnect one, you miss out on the savings of the package.

But the cable TV service just has to go, as the service and quality is below average. There is so much discussion these days about hi def, there just wasn't much of that with Charter Cable. So I began doing a little research on who else was providing service in my neck of the woods.

I am fortunate to be one of the people who have a few options. Unlike many people who can only pick from just the cable company or Direct TV, I have another option in my area. The old telephone company in my neighborhood has been altering their network. So I have an additional consideration with AT&T and their U-Verse service.

That doesn't of course mean I won't have the same issues. It would place me in the same situation as with the cable company, as the telephone guys want customers to package their television setup with high speed and voice service. If the service is good, I'll be satisfied. But if its not you are in the same situation that we all hate, being stuck with cable TV that isn't all that great.

Most reviews I found on the internet are pretty good on telecom TV service. Of course it is new, there is always a learning curve with a new technology like this, and some customers share their poor reviews. Those reviews are the quite amusing, because customers decide to write a bad review on their bad experience and share it on the web. They rail on the company like it is some giant conspiracy to make the customer unhappy, like the company doesn't want our money!

Another way to go that I'm seriously considering is of course satellite TV. Since we have six TV watchers in the home, we usually buy a premium TV bundle. The satellite TV choices are pretty comparable, as the DirecTV Premier and the Dish Network Everything package are both right around $115 per month. Sure that's fairly high for cable television, but when you make the comparison with taking your family to supper and a show, it really isn't all that much.
