Charter Cable now offically kicks ass

They've added a new, free feature:
IF you have HBO, or Showtime, or Skinemax, you also get HBO on Demand, Showtime on Demand, or Skinemax on Demand. They have like 30 movies lined up, you scroll, select, and bingo...free movei! Caught the Director's Cut of The Exorcist last night.
The HBO has Season 4 of the Sopranos, Season 3 of SFU, and all their other series, too.
And Skinemax has Skinemax after Dark selections....
And then last nite, my wife ordered a free sample of something from a commercial while Blow was on..all with the remote....totally cool.
I havent heard any advertisements about the VOD service, so I caleld, made sure it was free etc......check out the Video on Demand channel, if u have charter...lots of new changes...GOOD stuff! (They have other on demand channels...including Kinds on Demand)

The picture and sound quality of cable SUCKS ASS compared to digital satellite. No way you can argue with that.

I have an HDTV at home with Comcast Digital cable. I get all the basic cable channels + 5 HD channels for a little under $60/month.

Am I getting screwed? I get no movie channels, no ESPN Gameday, no "sports package", no VOD, but I do get Pay Per View

With the HDTV and the addition of the movie channels, I'm seriously considering my first switch to satellite. Or do I have an option on cable providers?

No way!
The picture quality is what sucks about Direct and DSS.
It's fine in a brightly lit scene, but if it's a darker scene, you cant see shit.
Charter Digital has a similiar issue, but it isnt 1/10th as bad as it was with DSS and DTV.

satellite is where it's at

I have both direct tv and charter digital cable, there is no difference in picture quality between the two. Now when charter had their trap on the line the picture sucked ass and if you don't use a tuner the picture is no better than using an antenna.

Now if you are talking about the grainy texture on darker scenes you may need to do some adjusting on your tv. I was getting that with dvds at times.
