    AT&T To Buy DIRECTV for $67 Billion

    yesterday i had 5 options for a pay tv provider, now i will be down to 4, and i'm supposed to believe this is a good thing? they stopped the cell phone merger, and i hope like hell they stop this one and the comcast/time warner merger. fewer options is never good for the consumer, we will all be...

    AT&T To Buy DIRECTV for $67 Billion

    as always, fewer choices for the consumer is never a good thing. directv is big enough that a buyout is not needed to be competitive, and this will only result in less options and higher fess for the customer, imo i just really hope they keep some D* customer service in the US, if they...

    Took the dive and bought a AM-21N

    i love my am21, without it i wouldn't get METV or retroTV. still want antennaTV, and i really, really hope D* adds that quad channel that is coming out with 60's,70's 80's and 90's channels. i alos like getting toledo locals since i am closer to them than detroit

    And down goes an HR34

    no thanks, i want control over my recordings, not the provider. as soon as the cloud comes the internal HD will go away. charter already told me of their plans to do this.

    DIRECTV Makes Multi Year Agreement With WeatherNation

    I'll admit i did not watch TWC a lot, but living in MI (we consider it the midwest) I can say it wasn't midwest centric, we could hardly get any info on weather here from TWC. I will agree about them being very east coast centric, but it seems everyone is. it's all about the East Coast and LA...

    Just a curious question... Some shows on DVR are listed with a "K". What does the "K" mean?

    You're assuming the person will be upset if it crashes, and that isn't always the case. Let me give an example- I have 2 small kids, I have all the episodes to "scooby doo, where are" you & "a pup named scooby doo" stored on their DVR. This allows me to play any episode of those shows whenever...

    Just a curious question... Some shows on DVR are listed with a "K". What does the "K" mean?

    If they didn't intend for you to use it as a storage device, why would they include a 1TB drive? That seems a little much for some simple "time shifting". Calling people foolish for using a product differently than you do seems a silly.

    Just a curious question... Some shows on DVR are listed with a "K". What does the "K" mean?

    oh yeah, i've got a 2 TB external drive on one dvr, a 1TB internal on another, and and another hd-dvr, none have over 10% free

    Nervous about DTV

    you have control over the install, don't let him drill where you don't want him too. i asked mine to change the routing and he was happy to oblige. i've had directv since 2001, they are a great company and i think their customer service is very good, maybe the best out of all my utilities...

    Thinking of upgrading 34 for 44

    may i ask how that is accomplished? i was under the impression all receivers are now lease only, even if you buy from solid signal or similar retailer

    Recommended equipment

    I personally don't like the clients, so i would get 2 hd dvr's. either a "genie" and another hd dvr(7 total tuners) or just get 2 standard hd dvr's(4 total tuners)

    DIRECTV Plans To Simplify TV Program Offers And Bills

    Who are they trying to kid? Around here you have satellite or 1 cable company to choose from, no uverse or fios. so if they were to allow a merger, i would be down to 2 choices, how it that fair competition? A merger would be a disaster for consumers, and anyone who is limited to satellite woudl...

    Want to get local HD without antenna

    i went to meijer and bought every antenna they had, except the giant one for outdoors. i starte with the cheapest set of rabbit ears, and also tried several other indoor ones, including ones with amplifiers. i could not get anything reliably with them. as soon as i installed the one i linked in...

    Dish add lonhhorn network.

    oh boy, new espn negotiations? considering they are already the highest priced channel, i hate to see the new fee to carry their crap. (and i say that as a sports fan)

    American Heroes Channel

    I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I love the military channel. Very interesting documentaries on there
