I can watch episodes of my favorite shows without ever having to DVR or TIVO them, and I don't own either so it really works for me.
    FYI, the Directv-Versus carriage issue was resolved right before the Stanley Cup playoffs began. The two sides were in a pissing match over fees, and Directv would have started getting cancellations here in the Bay Area if the Sharks playoff games weren't available.

    Forgot about CSN Philly not being available on Directv. That sucks. All the other CSN affiliates are on Directv, but I heard that Comcast is taking advantage of a loophole that allows them to exclude other carriers from gaining access to the Philly programming. Obviously, it's doing the trick because it keeps subscribers like you locked into Comcast's service.

    ...for what they call their 'Triple Play', so it would be problematic to change everything, at least for now. I was really hopeful Verizon's FIOS would be the bomb, but it's been a cluster from what most are telling me in my area. I'm quite happy, overall, with all three services.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.
