    Regional Sports Fee

    I just noticed my new bill that my 2 RSNs increased from $2 to $3. My overall bill is $5 more. Did I miss something on a notice of a price increase? I usually pay attention to such things and can't recall any notice!!! Can anyone enlighten me? Paul

    Satellite Radio Has Advantages Over "Free" Radio

    I get tons of dropouts traveling to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom-weekends. I listen to 50's-60's-70's(+others) and the Jocks play the songs like it was back then ie: talking over songs, cutting songs short-like they need to squeeze a commercial in. Why are they in a rush? This is PAY radio, go...

    I forgot to mention that I paid a $2.00 invoice fee the first time and when I just got the recent bill it showed a credit!!!

    Renewal Notice

    I just finished a 5 mo. $25.00 deal and called to cancel and the CSR offered me same deal and then offered me a 1 year $86 deal($94.39) w/taxes/fees. I agreed and requested a bill as I don't trust them with my cc. I just paid the bill Monday. I think it was a good deal. Paul

    Need help with DirecTV question vs. Verizon FIOS. I have 10 Televisions! Moving into new house soon

    Hi Scott, I live Wintertime in Zepherhills(33541) and I set up the latest Directv dish and it is pretty reliable but the install was a real pain but I feel worth the effort. I can't answer your other questions but I will say you are as big a tv fanatic as I am. Good luck, Paul

    New Protection Plan

    I don't like the fact that the 'protection plan fee' went up $2.00 AND the 'FREE' upgrades also means another 2 year contract!!! I cancelled the protection plan after I saw that. Paul

    Help in Getting OTA in Centreville, VA

    Welcome! Any obstructions that would block reception? ie: trees, hills, buildings etc... I would install a rotor so you could watch any channel. It also looks like most of the channels are around the same degrees so maybe a little higher might help. Paul

    2011-12 NFL Playoffs

    I forgot to add how ridiculous for a 12-4 Steelers team to play at an 8-8 team. The NFL needs to change that system! Paul

    2011-12 NFL Playoffs

    Brady appears to be fine. Watching Tebow yesterday I concluded that he's terrific on long passes and he seems to change his throwing motion on short to medium passes. The refs did a terrible job! Finally, with all the injuries, I thought Denver beat the Steelers 'B' team. And yes, I'm a Pats...

    Farthest tv station you have received?

    Update: Still manually turning antenna on roof so I turn it here and turn it there constantly doing rescans on two tvs. One tv I have a Insignia digital converter box(VERY strong signal finder) and tv2 built-in tuner. I recently p/u a snowy Analog ch. 2 on tv2. The ch. logo said CTV and that's...

    Farthest tv station you have received?

    I live on a hill here in Boston so even with rabbit ears I get 20-25 stations. I recently put up a bigger roof antenna and I get 47 yes 47 channels! Granted some are duplicates. The farthest one I get now(intermittently) is Vermont Public Television(VPT) ch. 33.1,.2,.3.4 that's about 200 miles...

    Now Solid Signal Offering H25 Receiver

    Looks cool but my present H23 has a component input built-in. This unit you have to pay extra for it. This alone for me is worth keeping this unit. Paul

    Happy with Directv

    I switched from E to D about 13 mos. ago. I love my sports and have RSNs 24/7. Also, the slimline 3 is so heavy duty I almost never have a dropout. No more calling the CSRs to complain-BIG RELIEF for all. Paul
