ssurgulSo, down at Fry's, doing some non-affiliated shopping madness.
Saw nice lady from DirecTV. Have been looking around for a suitable solution to dump fucking Comcast/Xfinity, as not only are they Pure Fucking Evil, but I'm sick of paying for a dozen shopping channels that I'll never, ever watch, while being denied Current and other networks that hold at least some interest for me without paying another $10 monthly for them.
She laid out the plan, and took her time to make sure her spiel was correct. Kind of a waste for me, but it was literally her first day doing this so I was patient. Well. Turns out that with the shopping-at-Fry's and other discounts, they're going to offer the best 'regular' digital channel package for $25/month. Yes, that's the package that includes HD. And apparently it also includes the major premium channels for 3 months for free, and Showtime for 6 months for free.
Yes, $25/mo. So if you're able, and don't mind a dish type provider, it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo totally worth heading down to Fry's and chatting with one of the helpful, nice folk. Oh. And after the year, the service reverts to a price that literally about the same as Comcast's but with more digital HD (1080p res, BTW) and more channels overall.
