Anyway I'm not like you I do watch a lot of TV and Charter simply doesn't have the same capabilities as DirecTV there's a reason DirecTV cost so much more it's to it's just too bad their equipment is shity and their service  has lately been shity. I can't handle only being able to record three shows and watch one I really need to be 5 shows because most of the shows I like her on the same damn time

What do you pay for charter internet? (you are welcome to tell me to F-off, it's none of my business Razz )
I've been on their site, etc, but I hate all the promo, fine print nonsense pricing, I want to know what the actual monthly is once all the promo shit is gone.

As far as TV goes, I have been with Dish for 20+ years. They have been great, I have had some truly great customer services experiences over the years, some not so good, but they always make it right in the end. Their new package options "Flex pack" has been great, allows you to add certain channel packs you want. The base flex pack for us is all we need, it has all the channels we like and we pay $40/mo. (with DVR, etc total monthly ends up just shy of $50.

We pay $65 bucks for Charter. That's internet only.  My wife says she has looked at Dish TV and they don't offer anywhere near what DRTV has. Maybe I need to look myself Wink $50 a month sounds inviting but we have three TVs so that would undoubtedly make it cost more.

How many programs can you record at one time?

technically 4, 2 of which can be locals only, but that's because I have the optional OTA tuner for locals installed. Without that, I would have to pay $12/mo for locals via satellite. (locals being considered a pack under the flex pack plan) My receiver is fairly old at this point, so if in fact it's still offered, out of the box it can DVR 2 programs at a time with no receiver charges for the single box. The latest and greatest receiver tech from Dish is their Hopper/Joey combos, I do not know much about them, but I know depending on the setup, there is a crazy amount of options for recording at once, up to 10+ programs I think.

edit to add: My single receiver can independently operate a second TV. We have a living room TV and TV in the bedroom. W/ the hopper/joey system, The sky is the limit, or your checkbook.
Thanks for the info.
I get all the locals with just a tiny 6 in antenna that plugs in to the antennae output jack on the back of my TV. Is Grants Pass too far away to get them?

No, I get all of them with a small antenna. That's what the OTA tuner is for, so I can run them from my antenna through my DVR receiver thus allowing me to DVR, set timers, etc. for locals. If I did not receive them via an antenna, I would have to pay Dish $12 to receive them via satellite.
