We have Centurylink. But only one TV. And we use the computer as a DVR. (Why buy another gadget when Windows Media Center is a superior product? DVRs don't automatically strip out the commercials. And there isn't much of a concern about storage when it's sitting on a 2TB hard drive.)

Their internet is nowhere near as fast as Cox.

Thanks. The internet thing is the deciding factor.

What speed are you guys seeing on Cox and how much do you pay for that?

Also, i'm going to try the amplified antenna I just picked up for $10 with my WIndows Media center to see how the recording come out.
