Maybe the majority of people that post here have it for sports, but I would bet that many customers are with Directv because they have no other options. I have no cable and slow crappy internet. If SpaceX gets Starlink going then I will ditch Directv in a heartbeat. Until then I'm stuck.

If they go dark, I wonder if Directv will give out an LCC. I have several channels on the list.

It's working now on all channels, 501, 505, and 515 all are white and I can record from them.

Yes it's all HBO and Cinemax channels included for the week. Unfortunately they have managed to screw that up also. A lot of people are having problems recording 501, 505 and 515. You can watch them but it will not record, says not subscribed. I guess free is free.

Gee, I like car racing and I'm proud to be an American. I must be dying!!

What package is 564 (Hallmark Drama) in? I get the other two Hallmark channels but not the new one

I just called in since my $60 off for 12 months ended this month. I also had a $30 a month that had a few months to go before it stopped. I had to go into pending cancel status and they sent me to the VIP department since I had more than one credit. I was able to get the $60 back but I lost the...

Ok thanks, I must have missed it.

Is there a free weekend for the Movies Extra Pack with channels like Sony and Smithsonian channel? I was flipping through and noticed they were turned on. I didn't see a message from Directv talking about it.

I went ahead and had a Directv Tech come out this afternoon. He replaced the LNB with a new reverse band one and got rid of the SWM 16. They wanted $99 for the call but they signed me up for a service plan for $7.95 and said I could cancel after a month. I had always heard there was a penalty...

I have a system consisting of an HR-44, HR-24 and three H-25's on a SWM 16 switch. The last few days I have had pixelation and blocking with sound drop out on most channels for a few seconds at a time. This happens on all of my receivers and all channels EXCEPT my local channels out of Paducah...

Back in April I called in and got a $50 a month discount, 6 months of HBO and 4 months of Showtime with a 12 month contract. I was out of contract at the time.

That's why you don't pay the sports fee, if you want all the sports then you don't want the preferred xtra package. I don't watch much sports and I didn't want to pay the fee.

The preferred xtra package has the same channels as the xtra package and you do not have to pay the regional sports fee. There might be one or two channels different but I haven't noticed anything missing when I switched.

You can drop the regional sports charge by switching to the Preferred extra package, same channels without the regional teams. I get all the sports I want on my local channels.
