depending on where you live the sub 100 dollar little antennas suck cock… you have to spend a little coin and get one and hang it on your house
It’s an antenna chief. Not cable :rofl
At least he got four of the channels right lol.
I think Ilya got a little confused.
Dig was talking about OTA HD antenna and I think Ilya thought he was referring to the basic cable line in your house and “removing” the filter TWC puts on the line to block out channels when you disconnect your service.
If you have a cable line comming into your house IIRC even if you don’t pay TWC they basic channels come through the line like in the case you don’t have an OTA Antenna or tuner
Disclaimer: While removing the filter on your TWC line is as easy as screwing in a lightbulb. It’s illegal. :ninja
Yes, this is what I was referring too. I just missed the ‘antenna’ part in front of “Walmart” in his post. That being said, I didn’t know people still used antenna’s :lol
Lol yes. I also get about 20 more channels on my other tv’s in the bedrooms through the same cable line going to the internet modem. A lot of them are the same ones I am already getting off my antennae, but some are different also. I don’t watch much t.v. so it works fine for me.
You’d be suprised. There are a lot of people I have met that cut of TWC, installed an antenna for the HD Local channels and just use netflix/hulu and other means for their content.
I finally ended up negotiating with twc and got my bill down. I’m still not 100% happy but I feel less butt hurt. On another note I did get my antenna working and I guess I can use it outside and in the garage as needed.
Thinking we might go that route. Already have a sweet HTPC setup.
I recently tried to give up my triple play package with twc and cut back to just internet since i only watch the news on 13 anyway, but currently they dont have any internet packages below $69.99. (27 minutes on the phone) FUCKING BULLSHIT. 2 days later i get some shit flier in the mail offering internet only for 19.99.
Dude. Don’t be so formal.
This is what we do. It’s like 50 a month for Internet, Netflix, and Hulu. We don’t watch a ton of tv so it’s plenty.
If I wasn’t so into sports, I’d probably do the same thing. The only things I DVR that I can’t find online are sporting events.
You spoke to the wrong person.
Here’s some tips:
buy your own router
always do self install kits
unless you’re a gamer or using a streaming video service, you dont need any higher than standard rr (15mbps)
I tried lowering my bill with them, instead the guy on the phone tried selling me a different package increasing my payment. I promptly hung up the phone.
In order for us to lower our bill they made us cancel and start over as a new customer to get the promotional rate which saved us about $50 a month.
When we spoke to the customer retention dept they offered us $15/month off our bill but that was it.
They tried telling me just dropping the basic cable and keeping the internet was going to cost me MORE money. I argued because the bill was broken down into two amounts which equaled the total bill so I said I want the price you are charging me for my internet now and drop the basic cable. They kept saying they can’t do that so I finally told them just shut off my service completely and they saw it my way.
How long is the promotional rate good for?
Trust me, they were telling you the correct info. Sounds weird, but its true. Your bill shows the amounts broken down bc you have a promotion that discounts everything together. When you get rid of some of those services, you lose the promo, which in turn makes the cost of the internet go wayyyy up. (to the normal full rate)
What people honestly dont understand is that you see prices flashing all over billboards/tv/internet/etc, those are limited time offers that expire, the normal/full rates on all of you guys services are much much higher than what you’re paying.
12mo
theyre fucking dickheads, I can’t wait for fiber to get bigger/google fiber to spread
