My Uverse bill hit $200 a month, so I'm debating between calling AT&T and pretending to quit to get them to give me a deal, or actually quitting for Directv. Anyone have Directv's Genie DVR? -- nm - Ender Mar 20, 07:16 9

    - no clue, I had it years ago and did not like it. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 07:24
  - I have uverse's highest package, primarily because the lower package plus hbo isn't that much less expensive. Don't know that I really need it though. -- nm - Ender Mar 20, 07:20 2
    - yeah, I looked to drop a package level, but would have to add HBO and for the 5 bucks a month it saved - groiny Mar 20, 07:24

  - More than a refund. I'd be checking out his liability insurance. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 06:37 4
    - Home Inspection contracts are pretty standard in limiting the Inspector's liability to the cost of the inspection. Caveat Emptor. -- nm - landbeck Mar 20, 06:59 2

      - well, carry on then. - colin Mar 20, 06:42

  - if they had walked the roof, they would have seen this issue, i'm pretty sure. also, they have all those thermal cameras now for seeing through walls -- nm - colin Mar 20, 06:32 9
    - i don't know - the roofer couldn't even find an issue until he started tearing up shingles. -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 06:40 8
      - all i'm hearing here is "inspectors ain't worth it" -- nm - colin Mar 20, 06:42 7
        
        we paid just under 500.00 bucks for our inspector and it was totally worth it. (everything to do with anything at all is expensive here.) - Diva Mar 20, 06:52 6
        
        $ 1500 seems excess as hell. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 20, 06:53 5

$1500 for a home inspection? The guy must think I'm an idiot. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 06:04 8
- It's multiple buildings on the property though, not just one. -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 07:09
