Other points:
- They will be FINALLY adding ESPNU, no word on when
- Never say never about the NFL network (aka no reason to be optimistic)
- NFL Network games on local tv? Yes in Cinci, Cleveland... no in Cbus (don't qualify as local).

I got DirecTv recently and love it. Got it b/c I got a new TV and Insight had no HD cable out where I live. Got the basic package, "Choice" and get NFL Network, ESPNNews but the two stations that aren't included are FSN, no Reds games  , and no Golf Channel.
They said by September 1 they should be up to 70 HD channels.

Time Warner is a crap cable provider. They gripe about having to add any channels what-so-ever and are always making excuses for their poor quality product. Satelite providers offer way in terms of quality, quantity, and variety. Switch to satelite ASAP. You will be happy you did. I am. My bill actually is less now that it was with Time Warner and I get more channels and fewer excuses than I did with Time Warner.

I got HD plus an HD DVR so it's about $60 something a month.
Actually just looked it up and it's closer to $70. |

Do they have decent internet options?
Cable Roadrunner is one of the main reasons I've stayed w/ TW, and called them couple months ago and told them $130 a month wasn't competitive, and they changed it to $100 (HBO, Cable Internet, 2 boxes, DVR, On-Demand). |

I have DirecTV and will believe that 70 HD channel count when I see it happen, not a moment before.

Didn't realize DirecTV was in the cable business.
