Any TDS customers here?

Advertisements

I am currently a DISH customer and getting ready to dump them. Their dvr is a frustrating POS. Willing to pay the get out of the contract fee, which will probably be in the neighborhood of $240.00 as I still have a year left on the contract. It is that bad.

TDS is the cable company I am going to go with. I am wondering if anyone has had any issues with them? Do they provide cable cards without issue? Whatever general information you can provide would be appreciated.

Thank you.

 

I guess I like the familiarity of the TiVo platform.

To be honest I don't know how I would manage streaming as smoothly as TiVo does it. I just need the TiVo box and a remote. I don't have to search all over my tv internet to get what I want. I like the guide info all in one place.

Convince me that it is as simple as TiVo and I'll listen.

This is going way off track. I am not going to buy a new TV just so I can get some functionality out of streaming.
Are there are any TDS customers in here?

 

I live in southeast Nevada. OTA is out of the question. And I already have two Bolts. Just haven't used them for the year I have been with Dish. I went with Dish because of issues with Comcast. I then moved out of the Comcast service area six months ago so I am stuck with TDS for cable service in order to get the channels I want.

 

Thank you but I should have not responded to your post so not to go off track. But thank you.

 

Per the sales person that I talked to this morning at TDS they do support cable cards for TiVo. I sure hope she wasn't wrong. I guess I will find out tomorrow afternoon.

BTW the Tivo service lists TDS as one of the local cable services for guide info. I have everything set up on the Bolts except for the cable cards.

Crossing my fingers.

 

FYI: TDS service is up and running. Tech said, "Thank God we have an old timer in the back end who knows how to program a TiVo cable card." They don't see many TiVo's any more. I guess we are becoming relics.
