Directv adds hd channels while Dish drops 'em.

Google came up with many options as long as you put in a company name and Directv (Directv United Airlines came up with 25,000 mile offer; Directv credit unions came up with a $140 gift card; etc). Costco offers a $200 gift card (was $300 over the holidays) which seems to be the best deal out...

There's Charlie's way of negotiating (drop channels while negotiating) and then there is DirecTV. Amazing that one provider can negotiate in a friendly manner while the other....

That is a good deal but am wondering how it's $57 with three receivers. I have a win back offer with a $250 gift card but pricing three receivers and the choice package comes out to $63/mo the first year.

Much better than the awful Dish commercials with the stupid kangaroo.

Yep, funny when one says "go get 'em Dish!". I've had both and have no allegiance to either and I'm soon out of contract with Dish as neither cares about the consumer but please stop saying Dish saves us more money than Directv. I've gotten my "come back to Directv" mailings but am not sure I...

And dish has more disputes which, in the end, doesn't save us any money as dish and directv cost about the same. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Doesn't Directv have a pretty good "calculator" on their site when your looking to start service? Takes 5 minutes.

That's why I never go to that other site anymore. Satguys is ten times better. And Scott, you never (I don't think) play the corporate games like they do.

Or they got it from the LA Times link posted a few below the OP's post?.

Must be nice to be a Directv customer. They actually add new channels (even HD ones). Dish? Not so much.

Any chance of stacking a referral on to the Costco offer?

I was on a CE but got an update last week to the NR I assume. It's quick....once it gets going....but it takes time for the box to respond to commands at times.

I miss the speediness and no lag in the HR-24 I had at the main TV and am about to move boxes around. The 34 constantly loses the ability to see two of the other three HR-24's and I have to reset it at least 3x/wk in order to get the 34 to see the other three boxes again. Definitely (my box...

Yes the other site caters to Directv - good luck finding much of anything on Dish over there. And, make sure you only talk in glowing terms about Directv products or you may get slaughtered by the fanboys. I am currently subscribed to Directv but I like this site much better. I'm one of those...

You have to get the HR-34 or HMC with a HR-24 (for future proofing). 7 tuners should equal no recording issues. I have the HMC and 3 other HR-24's (two 24's were given to me by Directv in the past 6 months; the other two when I signed up about a year and a half ago). Complete overkill but the...

Yikes! That's not good. I have the 34 and a free HD DVR coming...will have 3 HD-DVR's (2 HR24's - hopefully 3) and the 34....if their in stock. Did they call you in advance about the OOS issue?

Yep, me too - moving my existing HR-24 to another room. And then I'll have to download the CE tomorrow night so I can have the HD guide again.

After my smoking hot deal from directv today ($99 34 and free hd-dvr) I started to wonder....will my 3 hd-dvr's play nice with the 34?

Yes, I always go that route. Say cancel twice. Every time I've talked to them they've offered up goodies. And I have only been with Directv for 20 months. My latest bill (Ultimate) was $40 with all their discounts (and AAA and one referral discount). He offered up a free HD-DVR and Showtime...

I posted this on the "other" site..... Just got off the phone with them....total out of pocket was $104.94 (no rebate) with a new HR-34, an additional free HD-DVR ( I know it may not be an HR-24), free installation, and a year of Showtime for free!! So all told I will have an HR-34 and 3...

Ahh, I wasn't thinking new subscribers...just us current ones. Nothing free for us.

"....and it comes with 4 FREE Advanced Product Upgrades!" What does this mean?

$200 for AAA members and don't forget the $100 referral bonus

Definitely should try the roulette route. I did and was successful in getting AAA and a referral July 2010 and have had two friends get both by pushing the issue. Took me 10 minutes; my other two friends around 15-20 minutes. To me it's worth it for an extra $200.
