Hi my name Tam and Will be coming back to Direct TV as of 1-19-09, we went to mediacom nine years ago because we wanted to put cable in our kids rooms for no charge and now in our area mediacom will not be getting HD channels any time in the near future and DH is so fed up with Mediacom and the programming being so slow as far as technology in our area (HD) and we are now have two HD TV's and no HD, I loved Direct even when it was Primestar it was good,so no complaints with Direct TV.
