Fired DirecTV

Had to. Can't live without the Longhorn Network any longer. Verizon Fios is available in my area, so I made the switch.
Fantastic picture (uncompressed signal make a difference apparently), better & more programing than DirecTV - and of course, The Longhorn Network 24/7.
BTW, loved the phone call to DirecTV to cancel my service. I have been a loyal subscriber since 1994. The guy tried to give me everything not to switch - but in the end, I told him the Longhorn Network was a deal breaker. I went on about how they had a year to work out the kinks and he better get used to this kind of calls from my Horn buddies.
I have been watching the Longhorn Network for a little over a week now. Outstanding! The documentaries about the history of Longhorn sports are without peer. Baseball games, replays of great aggie and sooner football victories. Just flat out great.

Fios: Great picture, shitty DVR.
Or so it would seem. Can't find anything for Fios that will hold a candle to the DirecTV H-24.

Meh. I watch it even though I don't have it on my guide. In the long run,our equipment is far superior and with all of the awesome programming, 400 hours of DVR space is really handy. We'll get it.

The Fios DVR is indeed crummy !! Love the programming and Longhorn Network but hate the DVR. But, hate to say it, but the LHN coverage of the orange-white game was pretty bad. They just couldn't shut up and let us see the game. I attended in person and DVR'd to watch again at home. You missed a lot.

The 300.00 price tag is the only thing that sucks about them. I hope they come down soon.

I don't care about the $300. Does it work with Fios?
EDIT - never mind, I see now that it's a DirecTV DVR. The HR24 is fine for me for now, but the next time my wife is out of town I'll probably buy a couple (I don't cheat on her with other women, but with expensive electronics purchases).
