Doesn't contract law state that if one party cannot comply with the contract regardless of the reason that it null and voids the contract. I'm almost 100% positive regardless of what CNBC says that if the NFL cannot provide access to the game feeds (no games being played) as per the contract...

Is it just me or is now the time that the government should step in and revoke the antitrust exemption on the grounds of the public good. This entire thing is going way too far with a billion bucks each year. I'm sorry but broadband access just isn't enough. If the NFL really cared about the...

I believe DirecTV will try and make it right one way or another. However as others have said they could limit the refund to the last 60 or 90 days. If it has been the last year or so you at worst case could call the credit card company and say they charged you for boxes you never had and you...

This thing was so bad I would really consider telling DirecTV to waive all fees paid for the Moneygram, allow CC autopay ASAP "and" knock at least one year off on your two year commitment or you will take them to small claims court and breach of contract. This was their error and you provided...

Yes you can plug in an antenna into your HDTV set and get HD locals. All of your current local channels can be tuned in using any TV sets NTSC tuner. All digital/HDTV over the air networks use the ATSC tuner. So when using your antenna just check if your TV set as a seperate jack for ATSC...

Sorry buddy but a company policy doesn't trump federal, state and/or local laws the last time I checked. Say if you ordered your system from Best Buy and payed the charges for the leased hardware with a credit card. Now say you decide to pay each month your programming bill with a credit card...

If this customer mailed a check with the bill to pay that one specific bill "and" DirecTV takes that information after to collect on a future bill that would be against the law as its check fraud. They also cannot use a credit card that is on file for payments to pay say a charge for not...

The exact same way I've done for years. I wrote DirecTV a personal check and mailed this in with my bill.:D:D:D

All of our staff along with our great members pride ourselves on giving consumers the information so they can get "THE BEST" deals around. Its quite nice reading a thread with somebody who got a great deal because of the hard work and time we all provide to this site. You shouldn't be...

Don't forget the 10 or 12 HD DVR boxes (no upfront costs) plus DirecTV's "White Glove Service" that also comes with this package. If I paid that much it better come with a hooker as well though.:D

I have a feeling the BBC on the box having problems needs to be replaced. If that doesn't fix the issue I'd say its a bad cable or worst case is a bad multiswitch. Either way I still think DirecTV needs to send you a replacement BBC for that box.

From what I'm hearing is that a phone line is only needed for PPV Movie On Demand viewing. You can download any PPV On Demand movie but it will only charge you when you play it back. Beyond the above all free and subscription On Demand content won't require a phone line. So if Howard ever...

I agree with everything said above as well. Also of note is that the DirecTV HD Extra package is 4.99/month but this is an optional service that includes the following channels starting in December. HDNet HDNet Movies Universal HD MHD MGM HD Smithsonian HD Beyond those channels above...

Thanks for saying this because its something I've more than once in the last month or so. I bet most people if they look at things in a calm manner and in the view you and I have said they wouldn't be upset. I guess I'm one of the few that would gladly pay that extra five bucks a month. Hey I...

Don't install it on the AC as this "could" be a fire hazard. I would just get a cement bucket with a mounting pole and install the dish that way. If your on the top floor where nobody can access it this is your safest and best bet. If you have high winds you can always tie the bucket down as...

I believe it has two legacy ports that will work with any box DirecTV carries. Once you have one legacy port used with a cable run you can at that point use a normal splitter to create two cables just like you can with cable. Either way for what you want you will need the new SWM.

I'm faster than you are ha ha ha...just kidding:D:D:D:D:D:D I gotta say that this latest HD launch is umm a tad bit depressing but I'm still happy to see new HD channels.

The original 27 HD channel list only had an icons for Starz HD, Starz Comedy HD, Starz Edge HD and Starz Kids and Family HD. When you count all the icons in the original list you will get 28 but as the Golf HD and Versus HD icons are one single channel this makes the list of 27 HD channels. If...

This would be a case I'd just wait a couple more months until the single wire multiswitch comes out. This device will allow "one" cable run to enable dual tuner usage on just the HR20 HD DVR. At the present time it will not work with the SD DVR box currently available at least not for dual...

I'd call back and demand that the starting cost is 299 as this is the going rate for a leased HD DVR. You paid an extra 100 bucks beyond the normal everyday price of 299. I'd also demand that they also still give you all the credits they offered you. They charged you more money than what you...

First I do know that most people that get quality installs aren't posting at these sites which means only bad installs are talked about thus making it seem like tons of bad installs happen all the time. But with that said it still is very funny how all the companies use the term professional...

The newest version of TVersity works very well but the HR20 is very limited still on the formats of both audio and video that can be played back. For example I don't believe any protected files (ie WMA DRM and iTunes DRM files) can be played back at all. If all of your files are MP3 I believe...

DirecTV does have a DVR Service fee but this fee covers "ALL" DVR boxes on your account. This DVR Service fee is I believe 5.99/month. The Plus DVR and Plus HD DVR programming packages include the DVR Service fee so keep that in mind. Beyond this fee above you do have what is called a lease...

I'm try using component because the Red Sox game on TBS HD last night was some of the best HDTV I've ever seen.

I would just say I'm having a hard time justifying the high upfront cost of an HD DVR I won't own and being locked into another two year deal. I would just stick to this line and keep on calling until you get a rep that gives you the free HD DVR.
