OT - Off-Topic - Re: HDTV signal options.

It seems that Cox and Qwest are in a heated competition
to see who can deliver the absolute worst customer service 
possible and the most confusing, over-priced, under-valued 
HDTV service imaginable.

Sorry to bother y'all with this off-topic subject but I am 
hoping that someone here can offer some suggestions as to 
what might be the best HD service and price/value option. 

Cable America was excellent, but then Cox bought them out 
and wrecked everything.  Ever since their takeover, I've had 
nothing but grief with Cox.  Recently we got an HD-TV and 
switching to Cox's HD service has been a painful fiasco. 
My neighbor is having similar grief with Cox. 

I have called both Qwest-DirecTV and Dish Network to see 
what they might offer, but now the mass of confusion from 
both of them is simply incredible. 

They all advertise all great come-on deals, but then they 
want to add on $10 for this and another $10 for that and 
it just goes from bad to worse.  Every time I call Qwest, 
I get a different story ... 

What is the best deal out there for HD service with DVR, etc.?
