How is the channel lineup and hd comparison? What about cost?

I like Eatel better but they have issues also. First, you can't stream anything pretty much that requires a cable login b/c Eatel is never an option. Mainly I run across this with HBOGO on apple tv, watchespn, disney junior, etc.

One thing that really aggrivates me about their DVR is that you can't group titles unless it's a series that is recording. So if you randomly tape a bunch of the same show, there is no way to group the titles.

These are obviously very small issues, their customer service is so much better than Cox. I would go with whoever you get the better deal from.

I can't speak about HD, but the channel lineup is solid. You still get CST and you also get Eatel 4 which covers a lot of AP High School Football games. You also get NFL Network and History II (which has actual history programming in addition to lots of Ancient Aliens and almost zero reality shows) without getting a box.

The biggest downside to Eatel is the lack of streaming capability through ESPN 3 and HBOGo. However, new seasons of HBO shows can be streamed through OnDemand, but not old seasons.
