I told them they can stick it up their rear. I am waiting for fios to come into my area( shouldnt be long) and I will switch to them.

Stay with Comcast or you'll be sorry...

Verizon Stinks for service... Their online Guide is to confusing and visually unapealling.. And their HD doesn't look as good as Comcast..

Ken your like me as long as I can see the picture I'm good..

Anything is better than the old days when we dealt with snowy picture, vertical and horizontal rolling.. That is when we constantly had to adjust the antenna..

I had one job that I got up early to take care of and it took me 15 minutes to fix... Still charged an hour, but then no work the rest of the day.. It is just one of those days when everything stinks..

Aint that the truth...I remember the days of only three channels...rabbit ears...and...believe it or not...actually having to get off your **** to change the channels!!! I know Shaun and Shawn probably won't believe it...but remote controls haven't always been around!!!

Well...you made more than I did today...and worked less!!! I've been pretty busy around the house...but...I only accomplished about 25% of what I wanted to. I wonder if that 2 hour nap this afternoon had anything to do with that???
