In Lancaster, you probably get horrible Eagles coverage on Comcast, right?

Get Dish Network and enjoy Skins (and Ravens) coverage!

your right. like i said, im just looking for an excuse to switch. buster, whats the difference between the dish, and direct t.v?

seems to me now...that they just got us for another month...they won't prorate your bill if the deal doesn't go through. all I saw was a banner and a letter saying they were still working to retain the programming..

Comcast offered me 6 free PPPV movies for being a loyal customer with the letter...wonder if they could add the Ticket to the package as a part of the agreement?..

Price-wise, it was within 2 bucks and had a comparable number of channels. Honestly, the way I made the choice was looking over the selection of channels for each at the same rate and Dish had more channels that I liked.

Dish does have an awesome selection sports channels. Hopefully, one county over from me, you'd be getting the same ones as me, which means REDSKINS coverage!

Look back at my 03-23-2009 post for a list. :)

The latest from the AP (3 days ago):

The Associated Press: Comcast to carry NFL Network past deal deadline (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gL7N3crv8ICFcDvF2ow9LTX7XWjwD97T1F2O6)

In Comcast's defense I will say this, the NFL is trying to ripoff Comcast customers. They want $2+ dollars per customer per month. That's insane for a single station with mostly reruns and a few NFL games a year. Definitely not worth it. There's many things to hate about Comcast but losing the NFLN is not one of them.

its called we are the N.F.L , and you not. its the same scam comcast has been running for years. now, since the tables are turned, they don't like it

I don't know where you live, but here in MD, Comcast used to have a freaking monopoly and charged (they probably still do) an arm and a leg for their service. Luckily, I've been able to switch to FIOS and have not have to deal with them or have this NFLN problem.

One of th reasons why they charge and arm and a leg is due to the NFLN. As for Verizon FIOS, well it seems more affordable because it's heavily subsidized Verizon (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/a-bear-speaks-why-verizons-pricey-fios-bet-wont-pay-off/)! They're losing money in the hopes of establishing a customer base. Once that happens you can bet your ass they'll charge you just as much as Comcast. No reason you can't enjoy it while the going is good though :cool-smil I will most certainly dump Comcast when FIOS becomes available in my area.
