Last week we put two Slingboxes up on the block to give away, and today we've got some winners! Pete and Andy, come on down! (To all the Petes and Andys who entered -- if you didn't get an email from us, it wasn't you, sorry!) So, you no doubt heard about yesterday's big Slingbox announcements, and we've got a little something to give away here; want to get yourself a new Slingbox Tuner? (That'd be the Slingbox meant for users who want to place-shift their analog cable.) We want to give it to you, but first you've got to leave us a comment telling us who your analog provider is (or if you're rocking it OTA) -- feel free to leave a few words about 'em. Hell, vent if you must. We feel your pain, and we hope a Slingbox Tuner might alleviate some of it. You'll have until next Wednesday (the 4th), then we'll pick the winner at random, assuming s/he follows the other rules:
- You may enter other Engadget contests, however...
- You may only enter this contest once; if you enter more than once on this particular contest post you'll be automatically disqualified and barred from all future giveaways. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) You may enter future Engadget relaunch giveaway contests though!
- You can only win once. (If you win and then try to go for a second prize during our relaunch giveaways, you'll be automatically disqualified, etc.)
- This contest is open to the US only, sorry!
- You will be shipped your Tuner when all the contests are up, so sit tight!
comcast
Time Warner - central NY
Lovin' the DirecTV... well lovin' goes a long way...
Over the air is fine for me (for now).
Comcast. It's acceptable.
I had warner, it didn't work very well for me.
Comcast
time warner. i want this thing.
Cox Cable - So Cal edition. Not too shabby, but I've heard the horror stories about the East coast Cox Cable. :)
I am with Time Warner.
Cocks! Oh wait, Cox. No, maybe it really is cocks...
Time Warner is my provider. I WANT THE NFL NETWORK!!!
Time Warner
comcast!
comcast
Comcast cable baby!
Bendcable in bend, oregon!!!
Cablevision
I've got WOW, and they're ok, plus I rock the OTA for HD. No HD PVR yet though.
Time Warner Cable - Actually very impressed with the service (cable+phone+internet)
I have Time Warner Cable and in general they're pretty good. I just wish they had the NFL Network and ESPNU.
Warner
Time Warner, unfortunately
Comcast. They're Comcastic!
adelphia...can't say much for their TV...minimal at best, but their 16/2 internet is more than savory :)
Rockin the Time Warner
Comcast. I'd vent but they just took over Time Warner here so I'll reserve judgement until we fully switch over to their services.
sling?
comcast!
Brighthouse

Still waiting for ESPN2 HD which came out over a year ago.
Hurry up already!
Time Warner and I get raped every month.
RCN in NYC
peace out
DirecTV
Charter communications
RCN
OTA for HD
and Comcast (but I think Time Warner owns them in our area now) for SDTV
I use the Rat Shack rabbit-ear special! (OTA)... it's not TOOO crappy, would be better if I had a huge antenna on the top of my roof and one of those motorized antenna turners... but then again, that's a pretty sizeable investment since television will no longer be broadcast over the air in a few years.
Tumbleweed
comcast basic cable at college...all the good channels are missing...
RCN for analog cable.
Time Warner. There have been a lot of outages lately, bleh. Not always complete outages, either, but just a portion of the channels gone. It's rather frustrating.
COMCASTIC! COMCAST
Comcast, which is far from Comcastic. I don't think it's possible to hate a DVR more than I hate the ComcastHD-DVR. Why must the new TiVo be so much!
ASU cox cable!!!
Time Warner Cable. Expensive, but nice service. Oh, and customer service are incredibly moronic. I think it is routed to a 16 year old special ed scool grade 19 classroom.
Cablevision - surprisingly good customer service!
My cable provider was "Eastern CT Cable", an incredibly small, locally owned cable company. That last "family-owned" cable company in Connecticut, actually. They *just* got bought by Metrocast a week or two ago.
Metrocast may be better, but Eastern CT Cable was terrible. We have a whopping 4 HD channels (Fox, CBS, NBC, and PBS - not even the luxury of HD ABC), poor Internet service, etc, etc. I'm glad they're dead.
Insight Communications
COMCAAAAAAAAST!!!
Time Warner (expensive!)
Comcast
Mediacom
Comcast and dishnetwork
time warner. good service.
Insight Cable in Columbus, OH.

Broadcast TV no cable

Getting by with Charter (barely)

Comcast. Decent enough.
I'm in Time Warner's area, but I just use their cable for an antenae, and get all the regular networks and Food, Spike and TBS for free!
Whoops... Cablevision, the IO variety
I pull my commercials from the air! thank heaven for the interwebs
Comcast.
Comcast
Comcast, but having two MCE machines keeps me happy with no stupid set top box!
WOW (wide open west) with sweet sweet OTA
mediacom, and we get raped even worse then the TW cable people do. its horrible, we're paying $75 a month for BASIC cable, but my dad thinks that satellite is a mortal sin, so we just get raped every month instead
Time Warner (got a great deal).
Alephia/Comcast no hd love for us small city boys.
