Any Outlaws out there a Charter cable subscriber? Some backstory: I'm currently a Dish Network subscriber and have been for 5 years or so. I've been wanting to get the new PVR w/ dual HD tuners (model 942) and I've heard that they're offering it for lease now, but you have to pay $250 for an "upgrade charge" so when the new MPEG4 tuner comes out you can get it. $250 is better than the $700 they're charging to buy it outright, but it's still $250. I'm currently subscribed to the Americas Top 120, locals, HBO & HD package and pay about $70 a month.

Charter is offering a package to Dish/DirectTV subscribers that will cost about $63/month with all of the premium movie channels with Video on Demand (VOD), PPV movies with VOD (sadly I've heard they're all full screen and not wide), HD channels with locals and a 2 tuner DVR that will record HD and SD. You can sign up for a 1 or 2 year committment and when your time is up the price goes to about $83/month.

Locally, (St. Louis) Charter has recently converted their channels over to digital so I'm anxious to find out what the PQ is compared to Dish. (Previously, being a digital subscriber did not assure you of having digital channels.) I've already signed up for it as there is a 30 day money back trial. I'll keep my Dish during the current billing cycle to compare and then pick one.

Any Outlaws have this package yet? What are your thoughts about the PQ and DVR?

Thanks
