An Update: A tech came out this morning and looked at my system and set up and then proceeded to ask me what he was doing there, as he obviously knew I didn't need him. My set up was correct and all I needed was for DirecTv to enable MRV (multi Room Viewing), which they wouldn't do because the...

I just got off the phone with a rather rude DTV rep. I wanted to add the Whole Home DVR service to my existing account. I have 3 HD receivers, 2 of which are HR24/500's (both are connected to the internet) and a H24 (not connected to the internet). She told me that I would need another piece...

Well, after a lot of thought, I did what I end up doing every year: subscribe to Comcast cable for 6 months to watch 1 channel. I was able to get a decent deal: HD basic with one receiver and Internet (which I was already a subscriber to) for $54.99 a month. I was already paying $29.99 for the...

I did just that and they complied. $10 for having done what I would do anyway is well worth it. Typically I am against autopay but for a savings I'll go with it. My monthly bill is around $150 so every little bit helps, especially on-going in perpetuity. Besides with baseball approaching I...

As an existing customer (for the past 5 years), who is already on paperless billing, if I agree to sign up for auto-pay, will D* give me this deal?

I wasn't so much complaining about the Reds attendance. I was offering advice on to Reds fans: Help your team by spending money. Here, in Philly, when the team started to show that they cared by winning, we shoudl that we cared by attending and by purchasing merchandise. I watch those home...

You think you guys are excited, I am not only a HUGE Phillies fan but also a season ticket holder who lives close enough to "The Bank" that I usually walk there. You could hardly imagine how excited I am. Regarding injuries earlier in the thread, The Phillies lost most of their star players...

Since you appear to be a combination of lazy (not researching to find out what law), ignorant (speaking to something you have no idea about) and belligerent (insisting that you are correct when you are not), I will help you out. See this link for one...

I am (not reasonably) sure that it did exist. In 1998 I had the program, or some equivalent to it, and I used it for Directv at 2 addresses. I lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia and had an apt in center city for the weekends. I had Directv at both addresses and had 1 bill. Directv was...

Comcast lost a lawsuit last year regarding distribution of can Philly and they are currently appealing the decision. In other words, the loophole has been closed yet Comcast doesn't care so much. They are breaking the law (since this decision) by not making the broadcast available. Further...

The $5 service was set up for Directv customers who had more than one residence; a vacation home maybe. As Directv cannot limit where their signal goes, like Comcast or other cable co's can, they had to do something so people wouldn't just move their receivers to their 2nd home. As long as you...

So the solution would be this: "Move" to an area where Phillies games are not blacked out. Subscribe to MLB EI to watch the games. Get an AM21 to re-get the local networks. Got it. As I watch the games only in one room, I think I will just get a small apartment in NY and take advantage of...

Have you thought of using a AM21 to get the Philly stations OTA? Does anyone have any insight on this. I have PMed iceberg back but I probably should have asked in the forum first. Has anyone used an AM21 in Philly for this application?

Iceberg is correct. It's not D* it's Comcast using an ANCIENT loophole to block CSN Philly rights to D*. It's actually a law from 1972 they are using. The original1972 law obviously has nothing to do with satellite television. Further Comcast is trying to leverage the Sunday ticket rights...

I was hoping to "move" to a zip code where I would still get my local networks and get the phillies games through an MLB EI subscription. I cannot seem to find the tools to determine what zip code that would be. I would think the Harrisburg area is probably far enough to avoid blackouts but...
