Upcoming Changes to Television Provider

As many of our residents and their familes may have noticed by the letters from Comcast, Park Regency will soon be cancelling our cable TV from Comcast. The reason for the cancellation is we are changing to satelitte TV from DirecTV. Hopefully this post answers any questions you may have pertaining to the switch. Here are some of the differences between Comcast's service and DirecTV's service that have prompted this change.

Price? The price you pay for television will not change.

When will this happen? Mostly likely by early July.

Does this affect my phone or internet? No, phone and internet service will remain the same.

Cable or satellite? Comcast--Cable. DirecTV--Satellite.

High-Definition Television: Comcast--With extra HD receiver. DirecTV--Yes, with more HD channels.

Reception? DirecTV will get a better signal and reception with better picture quality. DirecTV has less problems with channels cutting out.

Channels? DirecTV has more of the channels our residents want, and more channels in HD. For example, Comcast does NOT have the popular Turner Classic Movies, but DirecTV DOES have Turner Classics.

Customer Service: DirecTV has good customer service, Comcast's customer service isn't as good.
