DirecTV requires 2 year contract extension for the privlidge of paying them to add TV to a new room?

I just dumped their ass and moved on to Hulu and Netflix.
I added showtime to Hulu.
I am now saving $60/month.
Not going to miss CNN.
'Nuff said.

My issue is that I can't even reliably stream Netflix in SD on a single TV and we have roommates and grandparents living with us.

If not already contributing, perhaps it's time they did. I understand it's the principle of it, i like others have spent more then enough time with the cable conpanies.

Have to say, I'm really glad Longmont did the Nextlight thing. Gigabit internet for $50/month for life. Much preferred over Comcast (though Comcast was better than CenturyLink, who never sent out their technician but tried to charge for a month of service anyway).

I thought about ubiquity but no good line of sight. If someone lives near the rock or another high point in Castle Rock, I'd be open to paying for all of your internet costs for the privilege of sharing it. ;-)

Does anyone here have a contact at Comcast corporate? I tried the customer service line and I can't seem to get them to understand that I'm trying to get a price to run cable into a neighborhood. I'm fully aware that it isn't available at my address today.

You might try contacting their business line, as they would probably be who would have more knowledge on running cable

Go direct to the source.

One would "think" a business would do a reasonable attempt to get new customers. Unfortunately there's comcast, dish & direct TV. Little incentive for them to do anything CSR.

You might try their office in CR. There's an office up here i've had good luck with instead of calling the 800outsourced line. it's been worth my time to make the 15 min drive then wait on hold.

Try that, then try to get the construction department

You will likely be able to stream to your tv with your existing service without extending your contract. From what I see Roku, Chromecast, Kindle fire and several others will support the DTV app. If you have AT&T cell phone service you can also stream to your phone and interface to your TV via HDMI without impacting your data plan.
