      Nice, so they are telling you to call and complain, like all of their customers. . .

      LOL

        No. WOW is an alternate ISP.

                We have been using WOW for like 5 years now. They used to be much more customer service oriented... The past couple times I've called it's been like talking to Comcast (maybe not quite as bad, but still...). I've been considering switching to Comcast because of promotional pricing.

                  Switch after every promotional offer ends. Then you'll always be considered a new customer.

                    In that case, Directv is telling me to sign up for Sling. Their "corporate office" was supposed to call me back about a contract issue yesterday and never did. Looks like I might be terminating contract early with them.

                      Funny, my wife started the cord cutting conversation with me last night.

                      We should consider ditching cable and just buying Hulu/Netflix/good antenna/HBO Go/Playstation Vue, and we'll be golden.

                      LOL, all that shit ends up costing the same as cable (except Netflix, we already have it).

                        We're staying away from Hulu. Costs about the same as premium TV itself. We already have Netflix and we're keeping that. Considering dropping Diretv @ $140/month to Sling @ $60-70/month for the same if not more channels, cloud DVR, and no equipment in the house. Just about anything can turn into a TV, such as a smart TV, your phone, your computer, chromecast, etc.

                          Why not just get slingtv and a box that can connect to it?

                          I picked up a Channel Master DVR+ and slingtv, total cost first month was $350ish, and my monthly bill is $26 for slingtv which I can cancel whenever. . .

                            Which I've not had a cable tv or dish bill in over 6 years. My bill was $90/month. . . so the ROI was very rapid.

                            I didn't get slingtv until a short while ago either, just OTA tv.

                                @tim_g Us too. We don't miss it at all. With that being said, I need to get a good antenna so that I can get the major OTA networks for Football season.

                                  I tried PS Vue last year, I really didn't like the cloud DVR - I don't think I could FF through commercials, could be wrong though.. but I specifically remember I hated the guide. And each different player, had a different guide setup.

                                        It might be on Sling.. now I have to manage a DVR thing though..

                                        Does the DVR manage the sling box itself?
