I love DirecTV since I got it a few weeks ago. I get DVD-quality video and sound from it since I connected the settop box to my TV’s S-video input instead of using the antenna connection as it was originally installed.
One channel I like is Link TV (channel 375). They often show World Music videos and last night they had a nice show about Baaba Maal. Tonight they have a show about Youssou N’dour.
I wish I could get DirecTV because I really do hate Comcast, but alas I cannot because I have interference in the location the Dish needs to be pointed.
