Re: WOW's Website Re-Design
I would rather have satellite tv (which I do)then digital cable. It's waaay better. My one brother has Comcast digital (WOW's not available) and my other brother in Naperville has WOW digital cable and neither comes close to being as good as satellite  when it comes to watching tv. Now for broadband of course I have WOW ultra.  |

Satellite is too expensive, and I don't like a dish hanging off my house.

| Satellite cost no more then digital cable (probably even cheaper)and the quality is 2nd to none. My dish is strapped to my chimney and not even noticable. Stick with your crappy cable tv  It's your loss. |

Too expensive? $39.99 per month with no tax or franchise fee is not what I'd consider too expensive. |

My WOW service looks identical to my two neighbors sat service, one has Dish the other DirecTV. And yes, sat can be more expensive than cable. For me with 5 tv, one being HD it will cost me total between the sat service and the non-tv rate increase for WOW over $30 more a month, for the same services. |

| Even though we are off topic. I know exactly what I see, and have perfect eyes. You have no idea what you are even talking about. Almost every signal feed that is sent to WOW, Comcast or any sat provider is still ANALOG. The sat companies just digitally compress them, which in turn lowers the quality of the station. A good analog feed will ALWAYS be better than a digitally compressed picture(this does not include HDTV feeds). |

| Of course a clean, uncompressed signal is going to be better than a compressed digital one. But when the analog signal is sent to your house over the cable, it loses quality. From your posts on this topic, it sounds like you've just got the worlds most perfect cable plant, because I can tell you that I've never seen a perfectly clean analog cable signal. You come to my house and put DirecTV side by side with cable (WOW or Comcast), and DirecTV easily wins. |

| I have seen the sat companies and I am not impressed with their PQ. They do not look any better than WOW's signal, they are better than Comcast's signal. I am not going to continue with this subject, we are beating a dead horse. You and a few other here like sat, that fine for you, cable is cheaper by a long shot for me and looks fine I am sticking with it. We are now way too far off topic. |
