    DirecTV offers to customers who complain about dropped Viacom channels

    I called in and got the 10 bucks off for one month and 6 months of Starz. Not to bad. We really enjoy movies. Hope this get's resolved soon. Viacom is greedy no doubt. D* told us they want it at 4%. So will see.

    Free HD Access for EXISTING customers

    I called in today and they are giving me a few days to take the HD offer for 24 months. I became a new sub back in April and they would not give me the free HD for life offer. Instead they will lock me in at my current price which is not bad. But I'm reluctant after hearing many complaints about...

    Audio problem with OTA and 211

    I had the same thing happen when I got my new 211.Check your signal strength on the ota.Anything below 75% will have audio loss.Try adjusting your antenna. Nitehawk

    Happy with my new 211

    The roof antenna came down in a storm.I have it secured again.I'm pulling in between 90% and 100% I agree the 211 off air tuner is much better then the old 811.And the picture is more defined then before.I'm off to watch some games. Nitehawk

    ATT/SBC dish customer ?

    That's crazy!!!! We should be able to install the receiver on our own.I mean come on all you have to do is unplug it.Disconnect a few cables and your set.I will also need to find out if they will charge for a service call and the install. Nitehawk
