I just switched from DirecTV to T-W and bought into their VoIP.  With 
discounts, it came in about the same as Vonage, and after having an issue 
with not being able to dial long-distance (since solved), the quality is 
fine. T-W continues to suffer from occasional customer service brain 
farts.

DirecTV wouldn't come out and fix my dish after I had new siding put on 
my home (I offered to pay for it) and so, adios Sputnik!  I will say that 
DirecTV's TiVo is much better than T-W's DVR, though.

T-W has On Demand, which is totally cool and it works.

Starz network continues to suck, and so does HBO and Showtime except that 
Showtime has Penn & Teller and Weeds.  We use the On Demand feature a lot 
now.  Those premium movie channels are retreads, except for occasional 
original programming, which, when there are new shows on, are great.

News8 Austin is cool.  Nearly all of the local community access 
programming is retarded, and the Austin City Council is doubly-so because 
those self-righteous pompous patoots make me retch.
