Here is a list of the channels my wife and I'd like to see in high-definition on DirecTV someday (channels prepended with an '*' are my wife's choices - hey my job is to keep her happy too): ABC CBS CW FOX NBC PBS TV One SciFi Channel Chiller Channel An NBC/Universal...

So, where the hell are they in Maine already? I'd switch in a minute, but Verizon is a pain in the *** because they have thus far refused to build in Maine and frankly, I'm sick of waiting for them. When they do build in Maine, I may just spite them for having to have waited for so long.

...until your neighbor gets one and then let's just hope he/she likes you. ;)

If Murdoch leaves, it is very possible that DirecTV might possibly enter into a new agreement with TIVO at some point. I'm hoping so and usually that's a good sign of things to come. ;)

I'll be switching if I have to like I said precisely because I'm not a sports fan - period. ;)

If they want me to switch over to it - it needs to do three things: 1. It needs to 99.999999% reliably record what I tell it to whether it be a one-time recording or a series link (season pass). (I understand that there might be a problem if the President decides to address the nation or...

It seems I can sure end a thread. It must be one of my super powers. ;)

Precisely DS0816 - DirecTV knows that they need to prod NBC/Universal to get off its proverbial *** and create a SciFi-HD channel so that DirecTV can offer it next year. Well said. ;)

I doubt the update is really coming. The announcement was forwarded and removed on the same day. People have stopped rumoring about it for the most part. And DirecTV retention CSR and retention management know nothing of the 6.3 update on the HR10-250, but they do know that the new DirecTV HD...

I just call and cry and scream like a baby. I try to use the exact pitch of an infant (it takes some practice). I never say anything. They send me $1000 in the mail every time like clockwork. You should try it. ;)

You know what - besides the broadcast networks - I really want the SciFi channel in true HD - can't someone come along and provide that - I'm sick to death of waiting. I'll probably drop dead before I ever see it.

If your a new customer, did you really try letting them know that if they were unwilling to give you the deal, you wouldn't be a DirecTV customer at all and might just wind up a DISH Network or cable customer instead? Perhaps you just need to spell it out for them as such and try the...

2x as fast with no jump back will be hell to control. ;) Give me TIVO FF over this anyday.

Kordter: Are you calling the (800) 600-8977 retention line? They are the only department who will offer the deal. Tell them your aware that the current deal for existing subs is 299 - 100. Tell them that you're a new sub, but that is the deal you want or you will definitely be subbing with...

You need to play CSR roulette on the retention line until someone answers who will give you the deal. Even if you are a new customer you can get this deal if you are persistent. Let the retention CSR know that you are looking at HD options and are willing to go to cable, Dish Network or...

You know, I was happy with about 30 channels too once. If the cable company would reintroduce a corded cable converter like they used to have back in the 70s (with the up and down rocker switch on the left and the fine tuning knob on the right and the row of 15 pushbuttons which were used to...

Well, I never told D* that I would disconnect to get my deal. I merely said told them that I am one of their best customers. I keep the Total Choice Premiere package. I have never missed or been late on a payment to them. I am if anything consistently about two weeks early on my payments. I...

Well... even though I'm still getting a great deal, I'm not terribly happy with DirecTV or their local installer for Maine, DirecTech. I got my deal on Sunday 8/14 299.00 for the HD TIVO + 150.00 discount + 100.00 MIR + $20/mo off TC Premiere for 6 mos + $5/mo off HD Pack for 6 mos +...

"Move" only after it is set up and installed. There's a million CSRs there and once again playing CSR roulette will net you one who is willing to allow you to "move".

Why not just keep the HD-TIVO order and "move" to New York. Rent the mailboxes ect suite address and make that your DirecTV address. Tell mailboxes etc to throw out the mail and pay DirecTV online. ;)

Keep calling to get your deal and I also though of something else. Request "The Horror Channel" while you have them on the line. ;) Tell your family and friends who want a high-definition DVR to call in too.

I say tell your friends and their families and get everyone you can to buy the high-definition DVR with TIVO software. The more people who have this DVR, the more people who will hold the new NDS mpeg-4/ka-band/high-definition DVR which comes out in 2006 to a higher standard. Tell everyone to...

I printed the rebate form on DirecTVs site, entered the customer and order confirmation numbers for my order and any other information requested. Signed it dated it, sealed it in an envelope with the address for the rebate on it. Stamped it and sent it off this morning. It was as easy as...
