    IO Digital Cable, from Cablevision. HD channels are free.

    Right now I have Time Warner Cable and it's not that great in terms of HD picture quality.

    The best cable service, is free service! The one that you pick up with an antenna.

    Have Insight cable service here, the service usually differs from the area. I guess you can say I'm happy with it.

    Here I get:

    HDNMV
    UHD
    MHD
    DHDTV
    HDEVT
    HDNET
    TNTHD
    ESPNHD
    And about 4 or 5 local channels
    Opt: HBOHD and SHOHD

    I agree.....hate every one of 'em......would feel differently if they let us buy channels al la carte.....I'd be good with them if they let us buy say ten favorite channels for twenty bucks a month or so.....but when they make you pay $70 a month for a bunch of stations you never watch???...whats to like?

    i used to love when i had directv, albeit calling their customer service was like sticking a spork in your eye. now i just try to get off-air stuff, mostly news channels and fox, abc, whatnot. but its def. the best service as far as the actual programming is concerned.

    I've had dish network for quite a while now. I get 30+ HD channels. I know alot of people say the signal goes out frequently, but not in my opinion. It's went out twice since I've had it and for short periods of time. It's kinda pricy, but I get my home phone, internet and every channel they've got for about $150 a month. I got sick of giving Cox money after many years. Good luck.
