If you want to pay more for an inferior system, get DTV. Otherwise, Charter is far beyond what they can offer in all aspects, especially HD. Too many customers are switching to us, some even gave me the DTV dish and boxes if you want to buy them. They make great boat anchors.

Oh yea, and ask about your local channels too, lol...

I am actually considering keeping the phone and internet, dropping the television part of my package with Time Warner and getting Directv. I just bought a 46 inch lcd and am not getting it's full potential.

The man is right, I just directv for HD, and I was surprised how much HD there was.

You are correct, but it is a shame that all of those 100 HD channels won't be true HD. Just a stretched, uprezzed 4x3 standard signal. Argg! Direct TV is so misleading in their advertisements!!
