| Elitegifts's Full Review: MediaOne |
A few months ago, our area switched to Media One (from COX), I have to say, I was not looking forward to the increase in cost, almost $6.00 a month for extended basic service, then even more for the premium channels. But, I had heard that we were going to get a lot more channels and variety.
Well, when they actually made the transition, I was thrilled! We had basic extended service with HBO. With our old provider, that’s exactly what we got. Now, as we also added Cinemax to the mix, we get a special package deal that includes other premium channels, along with 4, yes 4 HBO's and 2 Cinemax channels. I think it's wonderful. We also had shared channels on COX. One network would be on a channel for half the day, and another network would appear the other half. This was especially annoying when I happened to get into a movie on one of these channels and half way through the movie, it was the other networks turn, so tough luck for me. I missed the ending. This is no longer a problem!
Yet the best part of having Media One is the control you have right in your home that I did not have before. I can order pay-preview without picking up the phone, program the cable box for parental controls, set my favorites right on screen, get info on each program as I browse the channels. Or, get info on any program just with one push of a button and the best of all, the interactive preview channel. Here I can look at channel program listings and view what I want to view, check out specifically what channel or time I am searching for, and I don't have to wait for it to roll by anymore!
While many of you think this is old news, my area is slow in catching up and I am more than happy with MediaOne cable service.
