Karen’s Opinion

I never thought we watched very much television until our kids were grown and out of the house. When the kids were home, we were running to ballgames and band contests. I could not have followed the storyline of a show if I wanted to. These days, we look forward to our evenings in front of the television.

We have cable tv with Comcast.com and recently upgraded our televisions to digital. Or was it analog? I cannot remember. I love being able to get all the music channels and the Hallmark channel. The amount of shows we can view is phenomenal and I often use the handy TV service guide to get the most from the service.

Friends of ours recently changed their service to direct tv with directsattv.com. They are very happy and have suggested that we check it out but we are hesitant. An elderly neighbor has direct tv and has had nothing but trouble. I do think that direct tv is more economical and the picture on their tv is very clear. They have a tier of product pricing so you are able to pick the price that best suits your budget. I like the idea of not losing television service every time our power goes out. We have been having more than our share of storms lately. I find myself reading by candle light more than I like! LOL

It is important to study the features of both cable and direct tv and decide for yourself which service is best for you.

I told you that I got fed up after seeing my cable bill go up month after month. It was ridiculous the way they kept adding a few dollars each month. They acted as if I wouldn’t notice. Hrmmph! They don’t know this penny pinching gal.

I wish we had Charter Communications in our area. Have you heard of them? I am sure you will be hearing more about them because they offer their services in a way that allows you to save money. You can pick and choose what best fits your needs.

In an effort to let more people know about Charter, they are offering a contest that is open to new and upgrading customers. See, they take care of the customers they already have by offering the specials and contests to them too.

They are always thinking up new and exciting promotions to get the word out about their company. Last year they offered great games like Xbox 360 and even gave away a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid! Man oh man! I wish I was in their service area! During the month of April, Charter is giving new and old subscribers an opportunity to win a grand prize package that includes a 52” LCD flat screen HDTV, a Home Theater System, and one year of free Charter Digital Cable® service with HD programming.

Charter is one of those companies who is always looking for new ways to be better for their customers. They even use Twitter so their customers can reach them and get great customer service. Charter is the best for your cable, high speed or telephone needs. Enter the sweepstakes and you might be one of the daily winners!
