	Shouldn't Time Warner be included as well because that is the hang up with them as well? People should get Directv or Dish anyway...better price...better plans...better picture...way superior customer service.

	Unfortunately Comcast is the only option we have in Middle TN. AT&T and Verizon have both been trying to offer cable TV service in the area but the the state is requiring certain guarantees from the two companies. I hope the state will change the legislation and allow other companies to bring in some competition to Comcast, becuase Comcast is taking full advantage of their monopoly in mid-TN.

	Directv is a must for me as a Rams fan in California, but if ANYONE else carried sunday ticket I would go to them in a heartbeat. Directv nickel and dimes you like you couldn't believe, and their customer service is terrible... Just my .02...

	100% in agreement with Rams32k. Unfortunately, I believe the contract was just renewed with DirecTV through 2012 (could be wrong about the year). So, it seems that we are stuck with DirecTV! Also, if I'm not mistaken, the NFL Network is actually part of the "sports pack" on DirecTV which is an added cost, so it's not like it's basic on DirecTV either.

	Goodness! Before I moved to Houston, my wife got Dish Network instead of Comcast. How did that happen? At first, she ordered Comcast and then the technician was no-show even tho she called Comcast and was told that "technician did come and then no answer" then she had like 4 to 5 people in the house to look out for the technician. So it was a lie and then proceed to order Dish Network. After I moved to Houston, blah blah and discovered that I'm addicted to NFL Network. Yes, it's silly for Comcast to charge extra for this popular show. I'd say indeed to either Directv or Dish Network.

	Im a Buc's fan stuck in Minny, Direct tV is a must, a Shmidt load of HD channels. I have 5 box's, so I can watch every game on Sun. It cost alot and there is no way around it. extra $5 for every box, extra $99 for HD, extra $99 for all the other goodies, it never stops. And the customer service does suck!

	I don't bother with a dish. All you have to do is search the internet, you can find almost any game you want streaming....for free.

	TRSpidey - We deal that sort of crap all the time with Comcast in mid-TN. Comcast pretty much runs things the way the want to becuase they're the only cable TV provider. I tried the Dish but there are often bad winds where I live and it really afftected my reception so I went back to cable.

	Thanks south beach didn't know that. I will never get Directv they are crooks. I'm taking them to court. I attempted to get the service it didn't work in my area and now they want to charge me an early disconnection fee. THEY SUCK. Plus they charge you for HD. Plus each receiver. Never again. It's the net or sports bar for me. Jets fan in NC.
