I’m thinking of getting direct TV,they are having a good deal.Buy the NFL package for $75.99 for 4mo and 4mo of the premium package are free.Keep in mind I’m a huge NFL fan is it worth it?

I’m a Bills fan :ponder,so I can’t stand when the Jets are always on CBS,they won 4 games :headbang.Then of course you have the giants on Fox :headbang I love the NFL,but you get the same few teams every week.I don’t get why they don’t have a double header on CBS and Fox(it would fix the problem of Jets or billson CBS)(and giants or cowboys on Fox)

No local channels sucks.
I stayed at somebody’s house a few years ago and they had Direct TV and didnt get any local channels so no news or anything like that.

I know they didnt have very many channels because they didnt pay for the packages.

time warner is cool , the internet is superior
BUT the mother fucking programming is ASS , the GUI for the cable television is not only CRAP looking and I could personally design way nicer, but its also laggy as fuck.
Not to mention how many bugs it has… you ever try on demand? haha what a joke

Its wierd. my BRAND NEW BOX 2 weeks old, has more problems than a three legged dog buring a turd on a icy lake.
Movies on demand. AKA channel 1010. 1/4-1/2 through the movie, my box decides to reset. when that happens i cant press a single button on my remote or the box for 10-15 MINUTES! even my old box (got it last year) did the same thing. TWC service rep said it should NOT happen with the new version box. well… it does…
^ thats the ONLY grip i have about TWCable. the internetz is fast, and digital phone is GREAT!. F U VONAGE!
lets recap TW (minus on demand) \> Direct Crap.
