BigSqwert Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 10:02 AM) Justified looking good again this year! Agreed. Is there such thing as a bad episode? That show is so consistently entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I made the switch to DirecTV. They come to install between 12-4 on Sunday. I'm keeping Comcast for internet, though. The Genie whole-home DVR lured me in (that and saving $600 in 2013 and $200 in 2014). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it for almost 2 years now and think it's a lot better than cable (though I only had Comcast one year several years ago, and then was stuck with RCN for a while). Certainly the price is better, but also the amount of HD channels. Make sure to download the DirecTV app on your tablet/smartphone. You can watch live tv if you're on the same network as your receiver. They seem to be adding more and more channels on there every month. They also have their ondemand available from anywhere which is nice. My only complaint is that every other channel is a bulls*** shopping network. Southpark did a spoof on one of those that I didn't get at all until I stumbled upon the channel late one night. I don't understand how that stuff gets aired, let alone an entire network devoted to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopping channels, religious channels, awful music channels, PPV channels, goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally just have it on the "HD only channels" list, but every once and a while I'll go back to check out whats on H2 (I still don't get why that's not in HD even though they try to show HD programs). But yeah, I probably should just do the favorites thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bill just went from 235 to 145 in one call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopping channels, religious channels, awful music channels, PPV channels, goodbye. I can't stress enough how useful this is. When setting it up, it'll take a few minutes to sift through channels that you may actually watch on occasion but it's much better than having an endless list of garbage.

3E8 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 For those of you that don't have Showtime, this is a free preview weekend for many cable providers. I'm gonna try to cram in season 2 of Homeland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I loved the first episode of Shameless, Frank mysteriously ending up in Mexico on a 130 day binge was hilarious. And his method of getting back was even more hilarious. "19!" Did anyone notice the odd filming of certain scenes, some random camera angles and zoom ins, shaky camera work? It kind of threw me off.

Yes! I thought it was just me. The jump cuts were annoying as well. The little scene during the credits was good. "Thank you, Sheila!"
