I can watch whatever I record from any room in my house on these tiny boxes that get signal from the main box in the living room. The Time Warner boxes were these big clunky things and I had to pay extra for each box. Now, we can have 4 recordings playing at once--no extra charge. Now me, my husband and my son can all record and watch our favorite shows in our rooms all at the same time. It rocks. Before, I had to pay $280 a month to Time Warner for a bundle that included cable phone, internet and TV. Now, I pay Verizon $165/mo. for a bundle that includes my phone, internet and DirecTV.

I wish they'd had this impass sooner so I had the incentive to look around. I'm guessing I am not the only one--probably why Time Warner caved. Fuck Time Warner.
