    That is terrible news. My daughters love that feature.

    Channel 611 (SEC Network) Lip Sync Issue

    I saw the SEC Network problems and have had the picture break up on ESPNU at times recently too. SEC Network seems fine now, but ESPNU acts weird sometimes. All other channels seem fine.

    Parents: Beware, Your Under Legal Age Children Will Be Held Responsible For Your Account

    If it is anything like what happened in my case then the fact that his daughter was at the address of the old account at the time it went unpaid is enough to block her from getting service in the future. The name never needed to be on the account. DirecTV has done this for years. They will hold...

    Parents: Beware, Your Under Legal Age Children Will Be Held Responsible For Your Account

    This happened to me when my dad owed them money from 2004 when I wanted service in 2010. He eventually paid it. I live across an entire state and I am NOT him.

    NHL Freeview Oct 1-19

    I have three HD DVRs and none of them got a message about this.

    ESPN 3D shutting down

    All that channel ever did for me is make games that were broadcast in 3D look like reheated garbage on their HD channel. Good riddance to a bad gimmick.

    Retention Dept Cancellation Question (Is This Typical?)

    I called a few weeks ago and said "cancel" just to get the retentions department. I wanted the Red Zone Channel. I told the guy straight up that I wasn't looking to cancel, but that I had heard that they were the only ones with the power to add that channel individually. I ended up with Sunday...

    D* CEO Mike White says "We’ll Have to Raise TV Prices Again in 2014"

    I agree with some of that, but without a subsidized installation, I would not have DirecTV. I'm not paying for the installation, receivers, and any other fees just to get a service that cable would certainly install for free or for a much lower price. It would be very difficult to put that genie...

    Local Channels out of Market

    Is a "move" to Los Angeles or New York acceptable to the OP? That would get ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, but nothing else as far as locals go.

    Nfl ticket question

    Just call and tell them where you are at and you will get the game you want. They only black out the games that you already receive on local channels. If your address says you are in Titans territory, then the Sunday Ticket channel for that game will be blacked out so they don't interfere with...

    DIRECTV Remote Control over the network.

    I can't help you with this, but I'd gladly buy something like this if ported to Windows Phone 8.

    Directv ,any free promos like Dishnetwork this summer?

    The only real way to know is to call and ask.

    DTV and Sunday Ticket parting ways?

    It would be a pretty weak negotiating position to say that any arbitrary price increase is fine. And the price isn't going to go down for subscribers...

    A Couple Of Installation/LOS Questions

    A customer can't assume things though. I moved into this house in February 2011 with an install set up for the following week. The installer came out and refused to do the install citing line of sight issues. Two weeks later, after getting fed up with Comcast's issues, I ordered DirecTV again...

    MAVTV

    I'm sorry, but certain channels already look like garbage a lot of the time. FX comes to mind. Reducing the bitrates further just to jam some more channels at what they claim to be the same quality level into limited transponder space isn't going to make me happy. The fancy new encoder isn't...

    Canadian Wired CCK Hook UP, account will be ban, but wireless ok- Is it jus BS?

    If it is going through the same router then the external IP address will be the same as if wired. It will make no difference. I wouldn't be calling up DirecTV and telling them I am in Canada though....

    Installer refused to remove his dirty boots

    Moving Before A Year is Up to an Apartment

    Well, you'd probably end up owing them more to cancel than to relocate even if they do charge you $250. The best way to know is to call them up and see what they tell you.

    Do I need DVR service to pause/rewind live tv?

    I think it is dumb that the basic functions of a DVR are called a "service." If anything, it should be in the box lease fee instead of a separate charge. But then you get into price gouging on more than one DVR like the cable companies do. So, in that case, I prefer they way DirecTV does it. But...

    Are you insane? They are paying you to take it. Take it.

    Center Ice

    You'll find plenty of FiOS snobs out there. You think DirecTV people can be bad, but you haven't seen anything until you deal with subscribers to a premium service that is only available in certain neighborhoods in certain cities. Crap stinks no matter which rectum it is pouring out of.

    Center Ice

    I'm sure $10, or more, worth of credits will come your way if you talk to the right CSR about that difference.

    NHL Scheduled to Return - what about Center Ice customers?

    Dallas was near the bottom of the league in both attendance and % capacity last season. I believe Dallas is a pretty good hockey market, but Carolina had a pretty bad team last year and outdrew them in both categories. Nashville had a good team and had 97.5% capacity and good numbers for their...
