ok. off topic slightly.

what is better for HDTV recording/watching.

TWC or ATT Uverse? i need to sign up for service and the ATT Uverse seems a little cheaper from the get go. Please help.

and video recording and watching 3 HDTVs all at once is a must. if one or the other can't do it -- let me know.

@Nick:

With only 2 HDTV's I bounce against the limit all the time. Depending on your area, you can record 2 shows, and watch 2 recorded shows. Basically, you can have 2 incoming HD streams, or 4 standard def streams, or some magical combination of the above. But you will not be able to watch 3 live shows. Also, most features are only available on the main box, which is the DVR. They are fixing it at some point. Scheduling shows is only from the main box. Pausing live TV is only on the main box. (you can pause recorded shows on any box.) Last up, check if you are in the 2/2 profile area, or the 1/3. (That's HD versus SD streams.)

With all that, I LOVE the speed I get, but not everyone tests out at 18Mb.

@primalsilicon: that's what i thought. my sister has uverse and she warned me about that. we are going to need to watch three HD shows at once and if uverse can't than it's out.

i chatted with them last night and they said it wouldn't have a problem, but i guess they lied.

i just don't wanna pay $182 after taxes for digital cable, all the movie channels, decent internet and three boxes. seems really friggin' steep.

uverse is a similar price, but i was getting $250 cash back after a few months w/no contract.

Why will anyone sign up for that crap when they can get Fios or someone else. I think cablevision is the only Cable company that's serious about business.

@snitch: I's been discussed in length, but most if not all of TW's test areas have no similar competition. If anything, a DSL alternative is available and that's it.

"While we continue to believe that consumption based billing may be the best pricing plan for consumers..."

What unholy deal with the Devil has Glenn Britt made to be able to utter such a statement without so much as a smirk or a chortle? I'm amazed.

"What happened as we're continuing to listen was we worked in some of the comments and ideas that got sent to us

as well as the death threats, comments about our Mothers, questions of our parents martial status, how much we "fail!1!!", exactly what our IQ is lower than, things I can't repeat in mixed company, etc... etc...

@YoSoyHe-Man!!_GitEmSteveDave: I would like to say that I like getting my internet from a cable company but if they go through with this I have no choice but to cancel my subscription and downgrade to DSL until Version gets fios in my area.

I think version will get so many more customers if they got fios in ever major town. I know at least 12 other people who are waiting for them.
