Sirius and XM both existed for about 5-6 years (that I know of), the merge went through sometime last year.

Yea, I had to jump through hoops when we left Adelphia for DirecTV. They turned off our internet connection (which we were keeping) and then pulled an 'Oops..we are sorry, but we need a tech to come out to fix it' I asked them, 'how come you can turn it off from your office but not turn it on?' It got turned on within a few minutes. And we got a litany of phone calls asking us to come back - which I expected, so it was not too bad. It seems there really is no such thing as a good television service provider, just varying levels of bad. Though, I know people who have had no issues witrh Comcast, or Adelphia. So, like I said, I may be the exception, but until that changes, I like DirecTV. -- Scott Stroz --------------- The DOM is retarded. http://xkcd.com/3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
