    Best customer service...?

    1-800- DIRECTV is the number to call for new service. You called a retailer that carries both dish and directv. Your described equipment sounds like dish. You will need 7 receivers for DTV. 3 HD and 4 Standard. You will have to purchase 1 HD reciever and 2 standard. Cost will be about $200.00.

    Not getting local channels

    Call dish to see about free receiver upgrade. Your monthly statement will increase $5 for locals and $6 for DVR. I believe the 501 you have currently has no monthly service fee.

    DISH Network sues DIRECTV Over Ads

    Both parties should focus on acquiring cable subs and unserved rural areas that dont even have locals. They are just swapping each others subs with this campaign. Both providers are good--now go beat up the cable operators.

    How about any new local markets??

    you go ricky! the already uplinked dmas that need a local imported. look for mississippi and nebraska and victoria tex. This distant legislation will now delay them.

    if the locals are in HD then DTV will install all HD equipment for new customers at no charge. This is the case in other similar DMA's

    Credit card required?

    you will need $25 on the prepaid card. DTV will authorize the card for $25 then put it back on the card in 10 days or after install, which ever comes first
