    Nothing at all wrong with my Internet. IPTV is just inferior to satellite.

    Satellite TV piracy and account stacking

    I will gladly pay for a satellite sub over free IPTV. Having had satellite TV for many years, Internet TV is unwatchable to me.

    DirecTV Alignment

    Thanks for the replies everyone. What satellite should I use to peak the dish on? I maximized the signal on 101 adjusting the height and azimuth. I assumed the other satellites would fall into place. I set the skew to the correct number for my location but perhaps I need to fine tune it to...

    Used DirectTV receivers

    I didn't know where to put this so it ended up here. I was doing some spring cleaning yesterday and found 3 old DirectTV receivers. They are a DRD 502,DRD 222, and a DRD 420. I also have a DirectTV access card in its original unopened package. Are these worth anything or should I throw them...
