I was missing your point.
I am in a position where my local cable is total joke. It's a small local cable company. You name possible cable problems, they have it. Cross talk from too much gain on some analog channels, not enough gain on other channels, leaving light snow on them with herringbone because the adjacent channel is too strong. The only digital they have is clear QAM on the 4 local stations main programming. It's also their only
HD and only thing besides mono sound. Yes you heard me right, their analog channels are in mono, including MTV and HBO, etc....
So years ago when I moved here I got DirecTV and am on a very old plan, cheaper than current plans even with their increases on all plans.
I only had SD on satellite which to me if fine as I get 7 digital stations with 14 unique programming choices. I am not counting weather channels or duplicate programing from PBS where it's 24 hours the same like Create or World or analog translators.
HD I get 7 channels. So I don't feel like I want to go back to either satellite company and make a new deal, get a 2 year contract, or pay a penality and buy new DVRs. If anything I would just cut off my DirecTV except I really like a few channels and getting Orlando locals.
