Satellite or CATV?

As far as Direct vs Dish-- Dish lacks HDNet / Direct lacks Discovery HD.--(Free during the day--PPV HD at night) HDNET is free with your subscripton./ Discovery HD is about 7/8 bucks extra per mo. Dish doesn't have FOX local sports.---AND--- HD Discovery channel reruns the same material. It is eaiser to tape HD content from Dish.(using a HD capable vcr)------Cable catches up eventually.They are always a year or two behind.

ANOTHER BILLS FAN!!!!! YES!!!!

Thedautch-
You're a Bills fan? Cool. I grew up in WNY and have been a fan since the early '60s. I've moved around a lot, and currently reside in the Phila. area. I remain a die hard Bills fan, through all the broken hearted Super Bowls, lame salary cap decimation of the roster, terrible way they treated Doug Flutie (went to college in Boston at the same time Flutie won the Heisman at BC) in favor of Rob Johnson...

Blueswan- Sorry about hijacking your post.

With a Sony HDTV I receive signals 3 ways: cable, used with RoadRunner, DirectTV and antenna reception over the air. The best signal by far is over the air, A Bugs Life last night was just plain spectacular, next best is DirectTV, HD Net, HBO and Showtime HD is glorious and the usual non-HD channels vary but usually are very good. In comparison cable is so poor as to be pathetic. I have had the cable serviced and replaced by Time Warner at least 3 times, even replacing the cable service to the house- it made no difference.

Bills fans... I like the turnaround Drew Bledsoe has made and I think he will take them to the playoffs! Also, if Doug Flutie starts that Tennessee game, the Homerun Throwback would have been just a footnote to a Bills victory, and I am a diehard Titans fan!

Elsewhere, thanks for all the comments on DirecTV.
