    I have a private office account, so I don't have them all up yet. Residential accounts do though. The ones I do have look very, very nice!

    Yes, those were updated yesterday morning. The quality is outstanding.

    From what I understand, cable does not have the bandwidth to offer the HD content that DirecTV is. They will have to make some pretty big tech changes first, so expect it to take a while.

    Ok, let me just lay it out. How much is it monthly for this stuff? My biggest problem with leaving comcast is my internet connection, is there anything I can do about that?

    Crunching the numbers today on this...

    I'm thinking using DirectTV for just the main TV which is HD. From what I can see, I need the $69.99 mo package. I would also have to purchase a $199 DVR HD box to make this work.

    This would allow me to back down my Comcast to the other TVs in the house to the $49.99 plan and the cable internet would remain the same ($43.00).

    I'm guessing after all the taxes, fees and other BS they both add, we're talking around $190 a month which is about $30 more than what I pay now.
