Do you have any other reasons to use Dish? I'm thinking about switching.
The problem I have is that Comcast's internet service is AWESOME, but their DVR service is way behind. ]]>Jul 1st 2010 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 1st 2010 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 1st 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 1st 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/

Well, Im in Lathrop (Norcal), which is right next to Manteca and called Comcast today and they are coming out to install AnyRoom DVR setup next Wednesday. You might want to check again with Comcast...]]>Jul 2nd 2010 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 2nd 2010 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 2nd 2010 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/
I called customer support and asked about it. The rep did a double check to make sure it was available in Lathrop. She did say that it was just rolled out in the SF bay area like last week but wasn't sure about central California. Luckily, she confirmed it was available for my home address and I quickly scheduled an appointment for the install. Oh and no, I ordered it in the early afternoon and didn't know it was posted on Engadget and the rep didn't say it was only available to those that requested it, I think the biggest hurdle is just making sure Comcast has rolled out the service in Manteca. Call Comcast and good luck!]]>Jul 2nd 2010 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/
Oh and also I was thinking about switching to U-Verse because of the whole DVR function but I decided to search google before I changed over to AT&T. I even went through the entire checkout process on the U-Verse website to get pricing but it's hard for me to switch to a 25Mps internet with U-Verse when I currently have 50/10Mps with Comcast. I'm sure glad I did that google search before committing the change to U-Verse.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 2nd 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 1st 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/The "other room" boxes are HD media hubs that access the main HD/DVR.]]>Jul 1st 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/Jul 1st 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/comcast-starts-offering-multiroom-features-500gb-hard-drives-wi/
