Maybe not in your market, but in my market both cable (Bright House Networks) and FIOS are making their moves. How do you think I feel about this.... (look at the premium HD offerings on page two of the PDF)... this is what is coming Oct 7th to my market from Verizon FIOS.

Notice all 26 HBO/MAX channels. Notice Travel Channel HD. Notice Fox News HD. And the picture quality is better on FIOS than cable or DirecTV.
Don't get me wrong. I like DirecTV. I just feel that I certainly pay enough (about $150/month) that I should be getting more for my money. I do like their DVR. I am not sure why people complain about the DirecTV DVR, because it sure beats cable. It may not be Tivo, but it is pretty good. I just want some more channels.
And see, I am working from home today, trying to run a business (and play on here), and all I hear is noise from the workers outside digging the FIOS trenches.
So, maybe you get everything possible in your location, but can you see why I am annoyed?
