I had DirecTV with the blaster to change channels. It worked very well.
Channel change failures maybe 5% of the time, and with just one box we got
more stuff than we could watch in short order.

Great picture quality.

True about their business practices, I think: I stopped my subscription
about 20 months into it (WAF was low for some reason) and they wanted an
extra $100 because it was less than two years. (I had signed no contract.)
Anyway, they threw it to collections immediately, which was dumb.
