That is what I was thinking too. I once had an account that "moved" to different DMA for their locals. When I discontinued the service. I had specifically asked them to ship the box to my service address. Told them I was staying at my real address for a few weeks and they said it would not be...

Anyone else have trouble with the EPG having the Ten Commandments from 6pm to 11:44pm with the duration of 4 hours and 44 min?. Both ABC stations had that and my recording cut off 1 hour 44 minutes. With that start time the guide gave it a 4h 44min record window since the start time was at...

By no means DirecTV maybe perfect. Ever sense AT&T bought them out, customer service has taken a slight downward trend in quality but I rarely have to call them. The most time is for remote control replacement as the keys get worn out with all the channel surfacing. They ship the correct model...

Also agree. been a subscriber since 1997, nearly 20 years!. Had PrimeStar and was converted to Directv after they bought them. I have a couple of times in the summer with rain fade and it only lasted a few minutes. My neighbor was giving me a hard time saying when it rains I have no signal...

It's known as the Do Not Care List by the telemarketers. They call anyway knowing the chance of getting caught is low to none. Getting more crap calls now on my cell due to auto-dialers and spoofed caller ID. Changing cell numbers is really no help besides the inconvenience of telling the...

It's happened where a business wanted my cell phone number and I made the mistake of saying I don't have one then they tried to sell me one!. I just politely say no and that's it.

The moral of the story is how screwed up Direct was in charging different RSN fees to zip codes that are next door to each other. Minneapolis was a good example, the city is divided into multiple zip codes and some were charged near $8.00 and just down the street that changed to a different zip...

His 101° signals are fantastic, but the 99° signal levels are all over the place and 103° are low but don't vary as widely compared to 99°. My gut feeling is the LNB is shot due to the large variations in the 99° signal levels. If the OP has the protection plan then have Directv get their butt...

It's the name of the game, hidden fees, bogus fees, fees to get the privilege to pay a fee. Companies can advertise a channel package for let's say $29.95 a month but they don't tell you all the extra fees that makes the cost $45.00 a month. It's getting so bad that Directv might started...

Well there are other pay TV providers out there to choose from if you are not happy with Directv. Software updates are sent when Directv sends them, in a blizzard or a storm, etc. If they were to wait for calm weather across America to push new software, it would never get done.

A new chapter in ESPN's life to be able to watch on the go with DirecTV is a nice feature that they added. I think the next chapter for ESPN to endevour, is chapter 7 if the exodus of viewers continue.

You would think since they shill for Direct there would be a 4K setup just for the demo channel. They probably have some up converted crap playing through a local media player. I was at Sam's the other day and they had on display a true 70" 4K set. It was showing some boring loop of nature and...

I have been trying to open an RC66RBX remote to cut the trace of the "ACTIVE" button. It's in a bad place and I am constantly pressing it and it's not a quick process to get out of it. There are 2 screws on the bottom underneath the battery cover but for some reason the 2 halves won't separate.

That would be awesome if it was. Would make an extended shopping trip to Best Buy and watch it on one of their display 4K sets. I have never seen 4K in action, but am afraid if it looks as good as people have said my impulse buying would kick in!. :)

Cool down jimbo..I can't recall the last time DirecTV had two large media companies that own quite a few stations, not just one or two. If it happens, it will affect quite a few people. Sure contracts are up and Direct seems to re-up them with little fanfare but to have two disputes at the...

Besides Hearst add Cox Media to the list of locals disputes for a possible take down on Jan 1st. Cox with 10 markets and Hearst with 33 markets. This must be a record for DirecTV if they actually happen...

That's pretty awesome that you still have them since getting DNS unless you are a trucker or for your camper is like pulling teeth. Since DirecTV offers locals to most markets, getting qualified for DNS is tough, unless you do your homework and can find a good white area. I guess after the...

Yes, DirecTV does seem to resolve this and they are never pulled. DISH isn't held hostage by the broadcasters and does not put up with extortion which means a high probably of those channels removed. Kudos to both providers for not caving in to outrageous retrans fees. On the other hand it's...

Not sure if this has been addressed but according to Broadband Reports/DSL Reports, DirecTV is having a dispute with Hearst affecting 33 markets. Those stations may go dark on Jan.1st. It's quite a list...

I still don't understand why boxing or UFC PPV's have a cost difference for HD and SD. Just charge one price, they probably just take the HD feed and down convert it to SD anyway. It's not like HD is new, it 's pretty much the norm now, so why are people being charged more for the HD version...

Glad I did not take a job that was offered to me there. Probably would have been laid off after getting settled in and then get the axe. Every department including engineering had to make cuts. During the interview tour, must have lost 10 pounds walking the campus.

That would be nice. The video that the ISS sends looks awesome streaming in HD. Putting this on satellite is a plus for people who can't get a fast internet connection and with the ISP's starting to enforce data caps, satellite distribution would be nice. I understand the people who want the...

Let them carry it, let's say just give them 512Kb of bandwidth. Hardly anyone moves so the video won't suffer. Maybe a little more bandwidth for the audio, lot's of hot air from the politicians. :)

Yeah it's a mystery. I live in between two spots and even though one is supposed to be higher in RSSI, because they are on the same transponders and they cancel each out. At least it's easier to figure out Dish's rather then DirecTV's spotbeams. The two spotbeams that serve those cities are a...

I realize that. I was just curious what beam it is for a LIL market. Obviously it's a spot not designated for my area but it's interesting to know who it is.
