    Is installation always this bad?

    By the way, I am sure that there are many of you that make directv shine. I just wish I could get lucky sometimes and find the good people out there. Many thanks to the guys on this website that know what they are talking about. I just like sharing the consumer side.

    Is installation always this bad?

    So where does that leave people. I am a person who is interested in the service as was Boomer. So you do your research, not really knowing who to trust. You have two choices. You can either go with the actual directv website and play your odds with the installer or you can find a independent...

    Is installation always this bad?

    Nothing doing, a couple of walmarts and best buy, I dont think they are considered independent in the same way the other poster is talking about. There is a place that is over 30 miles away that offers wildblue, but nothing about directv.

    Is installation always this bad?

    This would be great if they existed everywhere. I am looking at direct and have searched my area high and low for a independent local retailer. I found plenty for dish, but none for Direct, unless I am looking at the wrong spots. Try googling Eau Claire directv and there are plenty of things...

    Pre Installation Question

    I am sure the answer to my question is embedded in all these posts. I started reading them and am confusing myself the more I read. I currently have dish and have the dish 1000 on a metal pole about 20 feet away from the house. The dish is about 6 feet off the ground. There is a 2 coaxes...

    Cold Weather loss of service.

    I am a lover of TV, but not the most technical person out there. I am not saying this applies to anyone here, but I had cold weather problems a year ago and everytime the temp would go below 10 degrees I would lose signal. My problem was as simple as a bad cable going from the dish to the...

    Lacrosse/Eau Claire DMA

    Thanks for the response, I guess I got what I asked for in my question. I was more hoping for someone who currently has the everything pack and what they would pay. I will have one HD/DVR reiever and plan on having all the hd channels available. I guess the problem I have is that it is...

    Lacrosse/Eau Claire DMA

    Well, Directv has finally lured me into there territory with the possible addition of the Lacrosse/Eau Claire HD locals. I tried searching and I cant seem to pinpoint what I am looking for. If it is right below my eyes I apoligize. I am looking at the NFL ticket promotion. Is this a...

    My new pole install with pics

    Thats funny because when dish installed my dish pole they used no concrete and buried the wire without any conduit. No problems yet, but I am sure I will have to redo eventually.:eek:

    Considering Directv

    Thank you for the quick reply. Since I have the expert at hand. Is OTA recording possible with the HD DVR. Also, are the Standards going to go MPEG 4 anytime soon.

    Considering Directv

    Hello, I am close enough to my contract expiring with dish, that I am considering Directv. I have some general questions for you experts on this side of the table. I have searched some of these topics, but they seem to get out of scope either through bias or misinformation. 1. For those...

    Well I am E* and this might just be what is going to make me switch. I watch CNBC about 7 hours out of my day. Is there any HD content on that channel.
