Anyone work with Comcast or Direct TV? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I had Comcast and recently cancelled. Too expensive and too many problems. Well, I plugged the cord into the back of the TV directly from the wall and I'm getting the basic local TV stations. I need to find reliable yet inexpensive cable and internet. Any suggestions? Anyone have the hook up?

There are no "hook-ups" anymore with the advent of digital cable.

They are doing hot drops now.. After a 180 days we will disconnect you from the pole. Comcast leaves it on just in case you moved and someone else moved in. We could restart someones services without having a tech climb the pole..

A friend of mine works for Comcast but on the sales side of it. I'll talk to him and see if there is anything.

Thanks guys. These hot drops that are allowing me to get some select stations aren't cutting it for me. The sound quality is terrible. I may have to go with Direct.

always talk with both companies and use it to your advantage.

Buy a Digital Converter and an antenna! All the local HD you can consume!

+1 for the Digital Converter. I would get some kind of internet and then netflix through xbox, PS3, or now even wii. This is what i'm working with right now and its great and super cheap!

tv/ internet.

if you do dish network with one tv that comes with 120 channels and hbo and showtime free for 3 months...it will cost you 26 dollars a month

then i can do high speed internet for 45 a month after tax.

pm me for further pricing

so you'd be looking at 71 a month after tax for 8-12 meg internet with tv. i also do mobile internet and home phone for cheap

i also do direct tv
