They have repeatedly told me I am lying when I call to cancel or complain.  They also told me I was lying when I was told a service person would be to my home and they didn't show.  Needless to say, they don't deserve anything profits. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RAIDAZ04]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2008 3:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV enjoys fruitful Q1, demand for HD / DVRs to thank]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/07/directv-enjoys-fruitful-q1-demand-for-hd-dvrs-to-thank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/07/directv-enjoys-fruitful-q1-demand-for-hd-dvrs-to-thank/</guid><description><![CDATA[Let's see Comcast upgrades nearly 500,000 people from Basic to Digital Cable...yet they are bleeding customers.
