Left DTV after 21 Years
Hated to do it, but the price increases and no deals this year on Sunday Ticket, made me do something I may regret. I switched to Xfinity. I will be fine until I need to call them. But I’m now saving $82 / month and I have nice equipment. For those of you contemplating, here are some observations after a month.
Pros for switching:
X1 much better than any of my HRs, to include being able to change channels on the first try, and any remote function is instant.
Voice remote
On Demand superior
Music Choice vs. Sonic (no comparison)
Red Zone Channel a la carte
Money Savings
Easy setup and reboot takes 1/10th the time of DTV
Whole home responds instantly, no lag like DTV
So I was paying $201.00 to DTV with Choice plus all movie channels and 4 receivers.
Now I am paying $224.00 (that's all fees included) for all of everything Xfinity offers, to include Red Zone and 4 receivers, 150 Download internet, and home phone. Was paying Comcast $105.00 for Internet and Phone. Total savings $82/month.
You know DTV's stuff is outdated when they only wanted 1 out of 4 receivers back
Cons:
Doesn't time warp so much
Need to manually add extra time at end of shows when setting them up, DTV seemed to start a little early, and end a little late, which was good.
