    Local CW Affiliate shows in Guide, but is error 721

    I've requested DNS availability. I shouldn't have to do this, as Channel 38 is showing all of the guide, but tells me I'm not subscribed...really upset at this.

    Local CW Affiliate shows in Guide, but is error 721

    Meaning I'm not subscribed to a local channel (WNOL CW affiliate, ch 38) So I called DTV up last night and was told there was a "glitch" in my receiver. Which, being in IT, I don't accept that answer, so I pushed the rep to give me to a manager. I was told to go to the "Channels I get View"...

    AT&T U-verse Customers Get More HD and International Channels

    Wishing we had EPIX (1 and 2) and BBCA HD. Already submitted via the AT&T online form.

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    I broke down and called them. After 30 minutes on hold and the tech saying, "This is strange, you have an install date of 12/31/2036" they finally realized their system was down and I had to call back an hour later. They had to release some hold. The system was still down when I called back...

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    Scott, I noticed that you didn't put a year in that one...strategery... It may be of no issue for me. I'm probably going to go get myself in a whole heap of trouble switching to Uverse...

    Uverse vrad node distance

    Unfortunately I know of no way to do it other than have the tech come out and tell you. They will do Uverse installs over 3000 ft from the VRAD by doing pair bonding. The way I measured is I drove to the VRAD and then back to my home following all of the AT&T boxes/access points. Its not...

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    I still have no call back from AT&T to reschedule. Do they not understand that they are the one losing out on money? Do you guys think I should call them (which I think is just stupid, since they cancelled and said they would call me)? I'm not liking this as this point. May just stay the...

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    Guys never showed, they called and said there was an Engineering problem and they would call back to reschedule. Haven't called back yet. I guess its their loss. I'm still with Dish Network for TV and MediaCom for Internet, so I can wait. If they want my business bad enough (which probably...

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    Thanks RobbinM, that's helpful. Since my wireless router seems better than what they may install, will they let me use mine, or will I be forced to "step back" in this case to a G router? I don't forsee a problem with mouting near the HD TV, since I wont' have phone service through them (just...

    U-Verse Tech comes for new install tomorrow

    What questions should I ask? I have 1 HD TV and one SD TV and I'm getting the U300 package with HD DVR and 12MB Internet. I'm already going to ask about how many HD streams I have available (to view and record). I currently have an N wireless router (and 4x1GB connections), and want to know...

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    I know this may be Disney's fault, but I'm really starting to consider DirecTV (Seeing that I can get ESPNU-HD there). Is there any indication that this sort of issue would spill over to providers other than E*?

    Will August bring any new HD?

    I'd like to see more HD, but at this point I'd like some of the stuff they took down, back. Like ABCFamily HD. I need that before the new season of Greek starts. And if ESPNU HD was a by-product of the ABC/Disney/ESPN agreement, I'd be fine with that too. ;)

    Cinemax penny deal ending??

    I called on 4/25, and my deal ended on 4/25, so I did it the day of. My bill online was updated with the $12.99 for Cinemax when I called. After the change, that was deducted, and no service charge was issued. The tech told me at the time he would waive the charge.
