Is This Remastered Or….?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

I heard Michael Jackson’s “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” on Fios Cable’s Music Choice & it sounded A LOT better than the Mp3 version that I have on my ipod. It had that “live surround sound” feel to it. Is it remastered? Because I always thought remastered songs were a bit similar. & most of the 80’s music that I’ve heard like Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, have always had this “surround, echo-ey” sound to them on TV or on an airplane (delta’s 80’s music playlist.) I’m so curious to know, so plz, I’m only looking for real answers. Thnx

Canceling Directv. Contract That Was Never Received And Lied To By Install Tech?

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

I ordered a package through Verizon that included TV services, when the tech came out I discovered it was a satellite service. I knew that I couldn’t have fios, I had assumed it would be a cable company as was my original package before Verizon. Directv tech tells me that I don’t have a good reception from my unit, and they have to install it on the roof, I denied as there is no roof access and told them that I couldn’t have it on the roof. The tech left than returned 10 minutes later to tell me that there are other Directv satellites on the roof, and that he could wire from one of those. I give permission to wire from another Satellite as long as it’s on our roof. He returns and says everything is installed and set and then tells us that there was NO other Satellite on the roof, and that he had to climb from one building than jump across to our building from the fire escapes(we live in Boston) and that he just wired it along side other wires that were coming down from the roof. I told him that I didn’t want it on the roof if there weren’t others there, and he said that no one would ever know it anyways and that it was already installed .
I called that day to express my concern to the Directv support and they said since I had told him it was ok for him to go to the roof that he had done nothing wrong and that it’s now my problem.
It’s been two months and with a few service issues and a complaint now from my landlord I call Directv to complain and they want to charge me for canceling. I advised that they installed it with false information and that falsifying information to obligate someone to a contract cannot possibly be legal. I also advised that I had called previously and they said since I’ve had it for two months and I called with a service problem that it voids any mis information given by the technician at installation. I told them to send me a bill and that I would dispute it through small claims. I also asked for a copy of the contract, as it turns out I hadn’t ever received a contract from Directv that had given this information in the first place.
They said that it had been mailed before the technician came, however I never signed for anything in the mail nor did I receive it. Can they contract you without even receiving a contract?

Can Someone Tell Me The Pros And Cons Of Keeping My Land Line Telephone Service?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

My cable company keeps calling me with an offer of bundling my phone service with my Internet and TV for an additional $19.99 a month. I’m paying about $106 now for TV and Internet service and paying about $40 to keep my land line telephone only because it doesn’t go out when the electricity does, which is just when I would need it. Right now I’m on one of their “budget” plans where I pay by the call, but have to pay extra for long-distance service which I hardly ever use) and and additional $7 for line maintenance, plus all the taxes and surcharges. I don’t have any extras like caller ID or call waiting. I don’t have a cell phone. I’m trying to decide whether to keep my expensive land line which I might make 3 or 4 calls monthly, or switch to digital phone service. Things came to a head recently when I could not receive incoming calls. The phone company set up two scheduled service calls where I had to take days off from work, wait home all day for a technician who never showed up. Someone told me it’s because most of the service fleet are doing FIOS and there are not may techs left who know how to service the old copper lines. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks.

Why Not Coax Cable For Everything?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I have a friend that loves to oversimplify everything to the point of it becoming a joke, but recently he asked me a question that seemed so simple and fundamental that I couldn’t come up with an answer. Why can’t you just use coax cable to connect everything? Sattallite companies, cable companies and even so-called fiber optic systems such as U-Verse and fios all use good old coax at some point between them and your tv to transmit HD video and audio, so why then are we made to shell out for Toslink cables, HDMI, DVI and others? Why don’t they just use simple F style connectors? Aside from marketing I can’t think of a reason.
