Goodbye Comcast, hello DirecTV

Three strikes, you’re out. Comcast didn’t seem all that interested in my business, so I called American Satellite and ordered a shiny new DirecTiVo. Couple that with the Qwest DSL line and we’ll be a Comcast-free household.

Oh, and major, major props to American Satellite, and especially salesperson Ray, who insisted (with no prompting from me) that he did not want or need my Social Security number and would be able to process my order without it. Finally, someone gets it!

I am really looking forward to using the TiVo interface again. But of course I’ll also have a Media Center PC with two Media Center Extenders for music, photos, and standard-definition TV…
