So I am currently a Comcast and a DirecTV customer. One of them is going to go. I am using a Tivo Series3 with the comcast (which works very well). I have the older HD Tivo for the DirecTV and it also works really well.
So here is the problem....if I drop Comcast and go with DirecTV, I will lose my locals (I'm in Seattle), have to upgrade my dish, and then I'm left wondering how the new HR20 compares to the Tivo that I'm used to. I know I'm not going to get multiroom viewing (but I don't have that yet with the tivo either). But I have to know if the product itself sucks.
Also, comcast has more HD channels than directv does -- not sure what's on the docket for HD channels.
I just hate comcast -- their attitude during this recent weather "event" we had was pretty non-helpful. And I'm tired of outages. If Verizon were faster with the FIOS thing, I'd be with them, but that's going to be another year or more.
I have had DirecTV for well over 10 years. I want to make sure I have a great experience if I stick with them. Any advice would be appreciated.
