    What makes you stay with Directv?

    I just recently returned to D* after about 18 months away. Why? Well, my streaming experience was hit and miss. Not every streaming service had all of the sports channels that I want. I had PQ issues with D* Stream as it often disconnected from my network. I decided to return to D* because...

    Retention? More like rejection!

    In another thread, I posted that I have officially cut the cord and transitioning to DirecTV Stream. Of course, having gone down this road before, I knew that a retention agent would try to contact me to entice me to stay. They called 4 times today and I finally answered the last call. The...

    Thinking of going from DTV to DTV Stream...questions

    Reconfiguring setup

    I am considering reconfiguration of my DirecTV setup. I have the HS17 (Genie 2) which surprisingly I have not had issues with over the 2 plus years that I have had it installed. I guess I am one of the few out there! I do have a lot of televisions in my home and all are connected to a...

    ESPN Classic to close

    I have missed the original concept of Classic Sports before ESPN acquired it. I used to enjoy watching the old NFL weekly highlight shows from the 60's and 70's. I can now find those on YouTube.

    Sinclair stations set to go dark on 9/27

    I think this clearly shows that one DBS provider values the RSNs, while the other doesn't. I realize sports is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is a major factor for me. Yes, I may pay extra for that privilege and I am willing to do so. I think one of the big gets with this deal is the...

    NBC Sports Chicago Removes Channel from DISH

    As I understand it, the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox all re-upped with NBC Sports Chicago, so there will be no defections. The Cubs are following the Dodgers model with Spectrum Sportsnet LA. The only difference is that the Dodgers model is operated by a cable company, and Marquee is...

    That’s it! I’m leaving Dish when my contact’s up and returning to DirecTV.

    But let us not forget the Fox (Sinclair) RSNs, Fox O & O/FS1/FS2, HBO/Cinemax disputes that are going on with Dish at the moment. This has been the legacy of Dish Network for nearly 20 years. DirecTV rarely had issues at first, but they have been more pronounced over the past few years just...

    Disney, AT&T in Carriage Dispute Impacting ABC, ESPN

    A few questions about Shaw

    I was receiving CBS East. For some reason without tweaking the dish, the missing channels are now coming in. I doubt this is normal behavior, but we will tweak things when I can get my installer back out here. Again, thanks for the help and info.

    I just had my installation and activation completed, but there are a few missing channels. I am not receiving Global (Channel 32) or City (Channel 35) from Toronto in HD, or ABC east. Is this normal? I have the advanced lineup now which is different from what I had before.

    A few questions about Shaw

    All 4 of those have the searching for satellite message. I will have my installer fix the 107 signal for me as I'm getting a very strong signal on the other bird at least according to the satellite setup menus. Thanks again for the help.

    I just had my Shaw dish installed and I'm now waiting for programming activation which will occur on Monday. I think my installer set up my dish to get one of the two satellites. On Channel 299, I get a searching for satellite signal and the red light is lit on the front of the receiver...

    A few questions about Shaw

    I heard back from my broker and they've told me that they can reactivate my existing equipment, so this might be helpful for those who may be in a similar situation as myself. I'd rather go through them since they already have my information versus trying to do this on my own. If there are...
