moving

[petef]

I move in a week (well, Friday or Saturday... need to fix up some scheduling with the movers), hurray! The apartment complex is fairly new, so unfortunately many map databases don't include it. This makes it a particular pain in the ass (maps.google.com doesn't know about it; sbc.com doesn't think it's a valid service address, etc

Direct TV has about 5 million channels, on just about any topic under the sun. The reception is great except for occasionally if a thunderstorm is over your house. They have their schedule of shows for wayyyyyy in advance browseable on the menu system. It's easy to use. I don't know how the pricing is, my parents had it. It was cool. The one real downside is, that I could almost always find something to watch, so I wasted a lot of my free time watching stuff. I guess that could be a positive too, but it was like "I'll see what's on", and there ALWAYS seemed like there was something cool.

Also DirecTV has TiVo service for $5 a month at the moment and TiVo > other PVR solutions.

It's $6/mo for new subscribers :(

But get DirecTV with a Tivo.

what about hdtv stuff?

Dish is sorely lacking in enough channels, and does not buy enough commercials. I miss cable from my new orleans house. :(

Another vote for DirecTV here. I've had it for 2 years now with no complaints.

DirectTV, no question about it.
