    The YouTube TV Thread

    Is YTTV the best place to pick up the red zone channel? Or perhaps Sling blue? I am just starting to look at these services. I wish D* would offer RZC by itself. I don't watch much on D* that isn't available somewhere else streaming except the Sunday Ticket.

    It's Free NFL Sunday Ticket Time Again!

    I called in today to try and get it added to my account. I've been a custom since 97 and have never had to pay for it. They said there was no discounts for ST for my account. I guess I will try tomorrow. I do have $65 off a month expiring in 2 months and $23 off until the next equipment...

    Which receiver do I need for samsung Q80T?

    So what am I seeing on my Q80T with the HR54 and a normal NFL broadcast? 2k? The NFL football and The Masters really looked good (compared to what I had). I can't justify 4K from D* with limited programming. Is there a time frame for that to expand?

    Which receiver do I need for samsung Q80T?

    Thanks. I've been with D* for 20+ years mainly for ST. How much is actually broadcast in 4k? I am reluctant to change my equipment because of my discounts. I told them I will wait a month to see what it looks like. I am not worried about any contracts. I haven't had one for years and I'm not...

    Which receiver do I need for samsung Q80T?

    So I just replaced my main TV that was 14 years old with a samsung Q80T. (coming next week) I currently had a HR54-500. Is that adequate? I am also getting a monthly equipment discount of $23 until my next upgrade. Directv suggested I upgrade to the Genie-2 (whatever that is) at a cost of...

    Deals for long term customers?

    I just called last month (discounts fell off) and today (discount fell off) and I got $12 and $7 off for a month for a year starting last month, and $45 of a month for a year starting this month. That's on top of the $23 on going discount I get until I upgrade my equipment and free ST Max. 23+...

    Anyone else able to get NFL ST Max for Free for 2019?

    I'might be willing to share it after I call it and it works, I think they gave it to me because i am a customer since 1997, but it took the 3rd rep to know what VIP was. Last year the loyalty rep transferred me to VIP, said they should be able to give me what I want, and then would call me back...

    Roofers didn't reset my antenna

    New roof yesterday. They waived the alignment fee since it wasn't covered by the protection plan. Guy had it working in 15 mins.

    Anyone else able to get NFL ST Max for Free for 2019?

    Most reps in the loyalty dept never heard of VIP. I have a direct number the last rep gave me to VIP so I am calling in a week or 2 to see about getting what I got last year - 60/month for 12 months and free max.

    Why not ask them if they are in retention? That's what I do and if they are not I ask them to transfer. No sense wasting 20 minutes talking to someone who ultimately can't help you. I said in an earlier post that I got ST Max for free - but it turns out I didn't. When I called because they...

    NFL Sunday ticket deals/offers 2016...

    I just called back this evening (said cancel) and asked if I could get ST Max for free. Rep took about 5 seconds and came back and said I have free offer on my account. So he added it to my account and (hopefully) removed the ST @ net $34. So I think my current bill will be around $50 after the...

    I have choice extra classic at 84.49, 5 tv's, HD, prot plan, and whole home dvr service for an additional 48.99. I am considering calling back to try to get STMAX for no additional cost after reading some of these posts. I am still not under contract.

    I got the ST basic at 20% off plus $40 off a month for a year and free HBO for 3 months. This is on top of the $50 off a month I already have. After the ST pricing rolls off, my bill will be $48 a month.

    NFL Sunday Ticket 2014/2015 Season - Discuss Pricing/Discounts/Offers

    Update: My friend mentioned that people were having success starting a chat session, getting a code, and then calling d*. I tried it this morning but the chat rep wasn't as helpful - I wanted to down grade to the standard ST and get my $163 refunded. He gave me a number to call to try and get...

    NFL Sunday Ticket 2014/2015 Season - Discuss Pricing/Discounts/Offers

    I've been a customer for 17 years. Retentions rep said that if you had ST free last year that it couldn't be offered free this year. I've had it free for the last 10 years. Since I just got a free genie upgrade I didn't feel like negotiating this time so I settled for ST Max for 1/2 price plus...

    New Directv Set-up, Looking for Help

    Yea, it makes the on demand guide pointless. There are shows that don't have the dollar sign but I still can't watch because I don't have the channel. So I can watch about 5% of the 10,000 shows. Very frustrating.

    Does the genie fail much? I never experienced a DVR failure that I can remember- until my HR22 started over heating. I am not a hardcore TV watcher except for NFL.

    New Directv Set-up, Looking for Help

    The tv picture itself is fine (it is set at 16:9 standard). Any yes the tv channel logo's are appearing fine. It's only the info button menu that is of the screen. Everything else like the Menu, List, and Guide are fine. I'm leaning towards the genie being the issue. Either way it's not a big...

    New Directv Set-up, Looking for Help

    Installed today. 1 hr44 and 3 wired clients. Kept my HR24. Got the new remotes which now control tv and d* stuff. Only 2 minor issues. One was resolved with connecting the HR24 to my network. Had to manually set the ip address, etc. The other issue is not yet resolved. On my tv that has the...

    New Directv Set-up, Looking for Help

    I don't really want a DVR in the bedroom so I will just keep my HR24 in the family room and the genie in the living room. That should be plenty of hard drive space for me. I won't be having the genie record things it thinks I like - I will be turning that feature off. I was a little...

    New Directv Set-up, Looking for Help

    Thanks for the information guys. I am not sure the advantage to also keeping the HR22. I could put the genie in my living room and 3 clients in 2 bedrooms and the basement. I could put the HR24 in the family room.
