Do you know how to read? Or is it your IQ is stamped on the back of a quarterbacks uniform?
I said I wanted to change from one plan to another cheaper plan to save money. For some reason you just don't get this. I DID NOT SAY I WANTED TO PAY LESS FOR THE SAME PLAN. Wow, you are thick. I got the reply that they would charge me more for the DVR service and I would end up paying the exact same amount for less channels. Wow, was this that tough to understand? Do you even have a IQ that is measurable?
As far as owning vrs. renting, that only works if you have the unit for a short time. They weren't that expensive to own, are given away for new customers which they will most likely stop as well, but if you spend any time with them you will end up paying more. This takes a little thinking too to understand so from your reply I can see why you would miss this point. I'm not going to be nice because I don't care to be misquoted.
I am not a HD fanatic, I can take it or leave it. I wasn't even talking about HD tv. Though for once you have a valid point about upgrades but the time problem still makes it more costly to lease.
I have a flier here if I really wanted to I'd just switch to dish network and get the damm HD receiver free for changing over to them.
But HD wasn't what I was writing about. I also mentioned the repeated showings and made it clear that I didn't blame Direct TV but the networks but you messed up on this point as well.
I can see this forum is pretty bad off as usually I get at least 2 to 3 smart replies before something like you comes along.
Oh yeah, it's not Why do want to own one, it's Why do YOU want to own one or Why don't you want to own one. Go back to school or by the reply you must still be in around 4th or 5th grade right? But my cousin's 4 year old even talks better than that. At least your IQ is in that ballpark. I'm going to go find a forum with people who know how to think. If you did think and actually see the structure of what they show on Direct TV and even cable you would know your getting seriously ripped off. People who work on swing or graveyard sift get to come home to watch paid infomercials for the rest of the night. Great deal. Pay to watch networks showing stuff they got paid to show by the people putting those worthless things on the air. That takes up about 30% or more of their 24 hour content then mix in massive repeating shows during the day and you see you pay for not much at all.
Receivers don't really cost that much and I prefer to own.
DVD movies I really care less about HD, I've watched them using upconverters and while it's not quite a good it's damm good enough for me. If people can't be happy with that they'll never be happy with anything as they will always now be coming out with something new. They are following the computer marketing now and want people to upgrade constantly. HD tv's are about the worst thing that has happened to tv's. They look a bit better, cost a ton, need a lot more maintenance and anyone who pays a nice chunk of change for the bulbs can tell you. I can take it or leave it and stick with a good tv and a quality DVD and screw network TV as it stands now because it's a total ripoff. It's worth about 25.00/mo as it stands right now and that is a high figure.
Next time you reply to someone, think before you do and do NOT reply to my posts ever again. Your just too stupid.
