Just wanted to update...they sent a different technician today. He had a completely different attitude. He wasn't leaving until we were all hooked. He was there a little over 5 hours..and I am finally back in the D* family.

When I called DirecTV to complain they looked up my account and the technician had entered in "on site", which was clearly a lie. Later they said they stopped by and nobody was home. That was another lie. So they actually stopped by today and wouldn't do the job. I am doing work in the house...

Long story short..I am a returning customer. They were supposed to install on Friday (I took off from work). They showed up with wrong equipment and were two hours outside the 8am-12pm window. The rescheduled for Saturday 8a-12p. Called me 3x to tell me they were coming. at 1:30pm I got a call...

I want to go from the $260 to $170..

I am not complaining about the receiver fees. I knew what I was getting myself into when I signed up. I was willing to give up some programming to help cut the costs. I do get up upset when they tell you they are giving you 6 month credits, you get the email confirmation and then the credits...

They were giving me credits that they said were 6 months but only lasted one. And yes 9 receivers is nuts. I was willing to adjust things on my end. A few of my kids are going to college, I can cut down to 6 or 7 at the most. Was just shocked that after such a long relationship they just said...

Been a long time customer. From 2002 to 2010, and from 2012 til now. My account is in good standing. Been on auto payments. Never late once. Have 9 receivers in the house (we have a Brady Bunch, 6 boys). Bill has fluctuated from $130 to $190 per. Been trying to get them to come to an agreement...

Scobuck - Any news for tomorrow?? How about we just shift last week's prediction to this week?? Sound good?

No but the MSG-HD logo has appeared in much of the advertising that D* has done. I'm in the advertising biz - they need to get sign off to use that logo or they are breaking the law. And believe me, Cablevision would sue them in a second if they didn't give them permission to use it. All that...

thank you! I'll be patient!!

Scobuck - Can you confirm once and for all that MSG-HD is included in the "coming soon" category. I've seen so many posts that say Dolan will never let it go to satellite. But D* now includes the logo on their site and I really don't think they would do that unless they had an agreement in place...

Starz-HD TNT-HD Cinemax-HD TMC-HD and everything they give us at full resolution

Thanks Robert - does this mean D* is almost ready for the NY DMA? What do you think the date will be? I knew that you had them, I guess when I saw them at CC, I thought that was a sign that D* was ready or will be ready for this marketplace very soon.

Just wanted to report that my local CC in Northern Westchester, NY (Cortlandt Manor) has five H20s in stock and on the floor. I got there late last night to pick up a few DVDs and couldn't stay. It had one on display but I don't know if that was the one hooked up to the monitor that was...

Thanks monetnj - you did a better job of explaining than I did. I totally agree with your plan, I'm not budging until the HD DVR comes out. The HD Tivo has enabled me to watch so much more TV. I can't imagine not having it now. I hope the HD DVR is just as good.

So if we're in the NY DMA and already get the big 4 from D* and have an HD TIVO, there's no compelling reason to do this swap anytime soon. All that will change is that we won't be able to record HD. We're not gaining any channels at all, not even locally (UPN, WB or FSN,MSG). Not trying to be a...

Longhorn - Thanks for the updates. But I don't know. I think back to where we were a year ago, and for me (and I know this doesn't apply to everyone) it was a pretty good year for D*. I now get CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC in HD along with the HD pack which as long as its free doesn't bother me. But in...

Absolutely. I need to laugh a little while waiting for D* to make all this happen. Sounds great. Thanks for the info. Still holding out hope D* will give us a few more channels before the year ends.

The only thing is that your source could be full of s#@%.

I guess I was coming up with 6 by including HBO and Showtime. But anyway I'm not going to kill them on it. On the pq issue, I know I'm in the minority and don't want to get flamed, but I'd rather get the channels up and going knowing that some bandwith relief is coming at the end of football and...

Thanks for the info. as long as my fragile Giants can overcome this week's staggering injuries, then I can be patient for more HD until after the season. Although I still think back to that D* press release in the beginnning of the year about doubling or tripling their HD in 2004. It seems like...

WOW! I hope that comes to fruition. I've been waiting for it to come down a little because I want to add another HDTV and just feell like $900 is too much for this unit. Thanks for the info. I've read a number of your posts about the additional HD coming. What is the latest that you are hearing...

Longhorn - What do you think the price will be? Will this be a 2004 thing or a 2005 thing?

Scott - Do you know anything about D* doing the O&O thing with ABC-HD?

I get Starz HD thru Cablevision. at first it was terrible and I was getting ready to cancel, then all of a sudden they got their act together. It's not perfect but they play a lot of different movies than HBO and Showtime and most are in HD.
