    New Service - different county?

    If the "other" county has locals, you can call into support and they can take care of it for you. Just say you just past the county line and that dtv has the wrong county listed. If they go to edit your service address they will be able to change the county if it is a multi county zip /...

    NFL ST Blackout Fail

    Then the price would go up and up and up some more. As the reason why is that the local providers complain that your not watching local commercials that run during the game costing them money. DTV would have to compensate them for that and like everything else cause them to raise the price...

    New customer - AM21 ordering issue

    Yes many DTV people get confused about the AM21 when they get calls from customers. It is because they are poorly trained half the time and simply do not understand it well enough. The reason why the AM21 does not add tuners is that it is doing no actuall processing of the raw digital stream...

    DirecTV's annoying stance on replacements for HDMI issues...

    I could of played csr roulette but I did not . It also helps that DTV never removed my account code so my account code still identifies me as an employee account even though I dont have the free programming. I could of asked for a supervisor etc but I was tired and instead of going 3 rounds...
