    Would D-TV move me from 1 pkg to another???

    I must be getting senile in my old age. Would DirecTV move a subscriber from Total Choice Plus to Total Choice without informiing the subscriber? We signed on in May 05 as Total Choice Plus. I remember this distinctly because we wanted TCM, FX, FMC and A&E. Have been very pleased to date...

    bad phone lines for my dialup...have ?

    No phone competition and thus stuck with dialup with very slow speed. Connection is worse or non-existent when damp outside. I am not good with all this technology and can't make much out of posts here, so please answer in simple language. Satellite internet connection would be our only...

    I understand that Denver-5 has moved to another satellite. Does anyone know where Denver is located now? (It's time for football!)

    Big Dish shakes when it moves between satellites

    Probably a stupid question, but I never noticed before that our Big Dish noticibly vibrates when moving from one satellite to another. It is a very lg white dish - not a mesh. We have had it for 15 yrs and never noticed this shaking. Should we be concerned, and have someone check out...

    locking onto the XM satellite

    I live between two mtns. I have had my XM for over yr with no problem until last Fall. I purchased a 50 ft cable ext kit with amplifier so that I could move the antenna outside. I am quite confused because the kit says that the satellite is S to SE in the sky; however, my antenna seems to work...

    c-Band programing

    We got DirectTV in May but kept the premium channels on C-Band via NPS. Today we got notice from Netlink that Starz & Encore will no longer be available after this year. (Also, HGTV is being dropped which doesn't effect us since we now have the little dish). I sure hope this isn't true as...

    rain-x or de-icer?

    This is our first yr of DirecTV. We live in mtns with snow and ice starting in mid-Oct. I'm thinking ahead here (perhaps I'm thinking too much), but am wondering if it would hurt the dish to put rain-x on it; or even de-icer once ice gets on the dish? Theory for rain-x is to keep ice from...

    How can I talk with a live person?

    I have called two different 800 numbers with DirecTV and am not allowed to talk to live person. The automatec voice says: Because there is such a long wait to speak with an associate, we will let you answer your question by automation. Then no matter what choice I make, I cannot get an answer...

    Need help with infra red connection

    OK...I may not know what words to use or what I am doing....but that is why I am here! We just got DirecTV after having CBand for years. I used wireless earphones (I THINK it is called infrared) to listen to programs that my husband did not want to listen to. But when we switched, we forgot to...

    Decisions: FTA or little dish?

    Hi everyone My husband and I have C-Band w/ 4dtv and LOVE it! Problem is that "they" keep cutting the programming...ie TCM, LifeTime, and FoxNet. We are debating on whether to go the route of KU-Band and MPEG2 or the little dish -- ie DirecTV or Dish. Neither one of us are good with...
