    Direct tv?

    We have had mediacom cable for 9 years and we decided it was time for a change because they could not get some of our issues fixed after 4 service calls and my Dh wanted Hd channels to HEHE!! We had primestar satilite before cable, they were ok. yes I know primestar turned into directtv.

    So my question is, is there anything that we should be aware of that we need to watch out for?

    Don't cut down your neighbors tree to achieve a stronger signal?

    no signal in bad storms. But you can now program it to record from your cell phone.

    I would recommend DTV to anyone. Have had service with them for 12 years and have little or no problems with them. As for losing service in bad weather, may cut out for a few minutes during a thunderstorm but never out very long. Have had no trouble in winter months. They are working on some cool things with networking and multiroom viewing between DVR's. Would definitely recommend them. Hope this helps.

    How do you like your slingbox? Have been thinking about getting one. Worth the money?
