    Video and sound drop

    Has anyone heard any progress on the sound drop issue? We get it on both DVRs (44 and 24). It can be annoyingly frequent on some shows (live or playback) while others it's almost non-existent. Almost speaks of a bandwidth issue like when you're streaming a video and the sound falls behind the...

    Costco Directv promo.

    I have no clue who or what is involved, but my experience with the Costco VIP support people has been nothing but excellent. They have resolved things in a timely manner when D* reps could only say 'no' or 'sorry, we can no longer do that'. They even acknowledge when they falter and do...

    Costco Directv promo.

    Another added bonus for enrolling through Costco is you get Costco VIP dedicated customer service to handle issues that would normally be snuffed by DirecTV customer service. This is not to be confused with the Costco Concierge service they provide for their electronic sales. For instance...

    Direct overcharged thousands of customers

    Try changing your wireless service 1 day after your billing cycle and selecting the option to start the changes with said billing cycle. All was well until I got my statement....yeah royally screwed it by NOT charging me at ALL for either the old or new plan. LMFAO! I have 3 lines and they...

    HD Extra Pack - 3 months free offer gone?

    Yah...same thoughts here. Wonder if you just have to now call in to cancel like the previous posters did to get the offer back online. Hard to say...seems now it may have become a YMMV type system.

    HD Extra Pack - 3 months free offer gone?

    I always cancel online and reactivate immediately afterwards. Been doing it for years also...except this time it wouldn't give me the offer. I guess I'll try to call and see what's up.

    HD Extra Pack - 3 months free offer gone?

    Interesting....must be something new as I did it back in December without issue. Already cancelled though......can I call and get them to add back the 3 for free?

    HD Extra Pack - 3 months free offer gone?

    Well, it would appear the free ride is over folks. I was at the end of my 3 months and went to do the usual cancel followed by re-enrolling today. It now only has $4.99/month as the option. It no longer gives me the "3 months for free" offer. Sucks because the wife likes those channels but...

    AT&T Unlimited Plus - $25 D* Discount

    They resolve my issues that apparently DirecTV is unable to resolve. The main one I keep having issues with is my Free HD discount tied to auto-pay. DirecTV cannot make it work but Costco can....different line of support with better resolution capabilities that don't require escalation...

    AT&T Unlimited Plus - $25 D* Discount

    Yah, I switched to combined billing way back when it was first offered and went through the mess that entailed. It was a nightmare to straighten out because I lost my Free HD for-life-as-long-as-you-have-AutoPay discount. To this day, they admit the discounts do not play nicely and so my Free...

    AT&T Unlimited Plus - $25 D* Discount

    Losing my FAN discount puts me about even with the plus plan cost. I have 3 lines so the cost is equal plus about .20 cents. The sucky thing for me is I already have AutoPay setup but I use a CC, so I wouldn't be eligible for the extra $10 off for AutoPay. You have to use a debit card or...

    AT&T Unlimited Plus - $25 D* Discount

    Does anyone know if you lose the $10/mth combined bill discount when you switch to this new unlimited plan? I'm considering it as it would save on my wireless bill each month but I'm somewhat concerned about the 'no stacking' disclosure in the video discount terms. I would think the discounts...

    DirecTV app for Android Tablet?

    They actually have 2 for Android devices in the Google Play Store. 1 for Tablets and 1 for phones (sans Tablet verbiage). On another note, the app on my tablet keeps stopped for some stupid reason. Been that way now for months it seems. It will work fine for a bit, then just stop and go back...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    Hopefully, this will help. A channel listing but it's for my area which may have some differences?

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    Just switched today to the Preferred....seems I lost all the FX channels and some other non-sport channels here and there. Did add a few back...Cloo...Boomerang....and some other the family watches. They actually have a lineup available now once you switch that can be compared to the other...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    No...haven't heard of that. Of course, I've been off contract for a while now and paying regular price for everything. Holding out for new equipment and pricing discounts. I've got about a year now under my belt paying regular price for everything. How much different is the programming...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I have to admit...the RSN fee still infuriates me as I have no option to refuse it or opt out of those channels. I haven't watched a single, solitary, flickering of a moment on ANY one of those channels....yet I continue to suffer through every monthly bill where it is itemized....almost as if...

    AT&T phasing out STB and Satellites by 2020?

    I think it will be interesting to see how this develops....overly aggressive timeline for sure...don't see it happening with 5G not even being offered...took forever just to get LTE implemented....let alone the next iteration of LTE. I think the takeaway here is a lot of hype for what 'could'...

    AT&T phasing out STB and Satellites by 2020?

    According to this article, they plan on using streaming services as the primary TV platform by 2020. Interesting read just out today: http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/blog/techflash/2016/09/report-at-t-has-set-a-timeline-to-phase-out.html?ana=yahoo&yptr=yahoo

    AT&T Wireless Customers with DIRECTV or U-Verse can stream Data-Free

    I'm not sure that's entirely true Jimbo...I added my LG G Pad 7.0 when I thought it would count as my 4th line free until I discovered it has to actually be a smartphone to qualify. I can't justify the $40/mth charge for a tablet I use sparingly when we travel so I switched it back to the...

    Mobile DVR

    I had this same problem initially...then the other day I opened the app while on my home network and it worked. I think i had to restart the phone while on the network for it to work.......not sure if that was the trick or what but I can now view my DVR playlist when I'm outside my home wifi...

    ATT unlimited data bundle with DirecTv - Any Feedback?

    I've had it for about a month or so now. Works fine for the wife and I as we don't have any use for tethering or using either phone as a hot spot at this point. Also have a tablet with the 1gb monthly plan as I couldn't justify another $40 for adding to the unlimited - $10/mth is more...

    good deal just for asking.

    D* keeps screwing up my HD for life discount tied to auto pay. This time, they said because I opted to combine my ATT wireless & DirecTV bill into 1 for AT&T (a cost savings for them mind you) that I no longer qualified for DIRECTV's auto pay service and the discount would no longer apply. I...
