The problem is that since I started getting HD programming my Direct TV bill has doubled and I don't get any more channels than I used to. I just get them in HD and since my Tivo isn't HD I can only watch HD when the show is actually on.
Time warner's advertised rate for the same channel line up + some premium movie channels + and HD DVR is still $40 less than what I'm paying for my crappy Direct TV situation.
My wife used to work there, I've been looking at jobs at Direct TV but can't get even a call back. I used to work for RoadRunner and I really hate the idea of giving my former employer some of my money but it seems that they have the best product for the right price.
I'll probably be calling them to see what they have to say on the matter. I have done this before with them and they gave me the HD access for free for a year. The year is up, my bill is 2x what it was now - If they fix it and get me an HD DVR and the all the same lineup for ever for the better price I'll stay - happily. Otherwise, I'll call TWC after I get of the phone with them.
