We would have gone with Fios but it's not available in our area. So we went with Direct TV and I am so happy with it!!

Re: CableVision, DISH, FiOS or Other ?

I have FiOS for phone and Internet, but DishNetwork for TV. Based on my own experiences, and posts on here, my satellite maintains a signal better than CV. It also has all the latest features years before CV. We had CallerID on the screen over 5 years ago. We could program our DVR over the Internet years ago. Changing channels is almost instantaneous. The guide is also almost immediate.
IMO, Dish is an innovator, and CV eventually figures out how to copy what they've done...

Where are you that you can get Comcast? NJ?

I have FIOS and we love it...we pay around 170 but we have:

4 Boxesl, 2 with HD DVRS
Phone
Internet
and every channel ever made

I was paying the same amount when I had Time Warner and I only had 2 TVs, one that was HD and had one DVR and ONLY HBO. In my eyes its a steal!

we thought of this, but it goes back to the price we have now +/- a few dollars. after a year. so the savings is for 1 year only
