I can't get Speedvision, because the it's only on digital cable, which was supposed to be available last summer. Meanwhile, Speedvision is part of the standard package in Seattle. WTF?

 

sorry dude, I too get Speedvision but I have Cox. I got it in Canada too with Rogers in Toronto.

I feel for ya bud, I couldn't live with out speedvision.
Except in Canada they don't have the licence to broadcast the F1 races. So I have to settle for Alain Decadanet yapping about old Ferraris.

 

Hey, I don't have speedvision at home, but my gf's place (35 miles away) she gets speedvision. The worst, we have the same cable company (Mediaone).

Guess where I am staying tonight?

 

I had to get digital both here and in Tampa to get Speedvision... doesn't seem quite right, does it???

 

I get it in NJ....and it isn't even digital

 

Why not just say no to cable and get a satellite dish. I get Speedvision and about 200 or more channels as well. Cable burnt me so many times that I finally said, "Enough is enough!"

For an idea of what's available, go to: http://tvguide.com/Listings/index.asp?I=63891
(For example, Speedvision is channel 607.)

You are correct, sunchild. The only real drawback of the satellite is the temporary disruption you can experience sometimes during a thunderstorm. I emphasize the word sometimes, because it has been fairly rare on my system. However, it's nothing compared to some absolute cable outtages I've experienced in the past.

I must admit that now I have all my bases covered, because I also have a cable TV hookup due to the fact that I put a splitter on the cable going to my internet setup. Now I get the internet and cable TV in my computer room.
