    DIRECTV CSR told me that a new package will be avail Feb. 5th without sports

    Pretty sure there already is one. Unless that changed. I had directv up until August of this last year and I had a package with no sports channels. Not even ESPN. It was select

    I kinda wish the DirecTV Genie's guide had channel icons...

    I don't mind icons, but I really don't like dish's use of pictures for the dvr listings. I prefer a simple text display in list form. Directv has that down pat.

    MavTV moves to 214 starting 8/21, Fox Sports 1 to 219

    I'm not yet convinced we are getting Fox Sports 2. When I select my local cable operator I get this information. Starting August 17, tune in to FOX Sports 1 on Mediacom channel 75! And watch FOX Sports 2 on channel 179! Maybe Directv only has a temporary agreement in place and maybe Fox...

    Multiple HD Channels out

    providers have glitches. It's just the name of the game. I just got my new system installed a week ago. I didn't call about this issue. Kinda childish to threaten to leave over 1 night of HD issues...

    Installer refused to remove his dirty boots

    You really need to rethink that statement. If I asked, and that was the attitude you had, I'd gladly kick you out. I can just as easily go to the other company. Your customers are the REASON for your paycheck.

    Is there an easy way to sort or just remove all those infomercial type channels?

    I didn't know you COULD lose channels in your favorites after a software update. Never had a problem on my 2 HR21's or my HR22.

    HD Extra Pack

    Honestly... I have cancelled and resubbed every 3 months for a few years now... I wouldn't worry too much about that $4.99. Edit: I skipped about 2 or 3 weeks once, and actually got a call asking if I wanted the 3 months free. LOL!

    cancellation fee

    E* is short for Echostar or in other words, Dish Network. D* is short for Directv. Anyway, I don't think so. I think either way they prorate it the same. I believe $20 a month.

    Downgrading package and Free HD for Life?

    I was called and was given that offer last year. Don't call until the day before the premier package is no longer free. Look on your bill for the ending date, it should say. Otherwise... my bill went from about $70 to about $115, because when I downgraded, THAT package was charged from when I...

    Youtube in HRxx's?

    do a keyword search for "UTUB3ON".... worked for me, and now I can search Youtube videos on my box. Heck with waiting for Direct to turn on the feature.

    Screwed By Direct.

    Keep at it. Don't give up... if all else fails, I say talk to retention. See if they'd be willing to give it back.

    Best Premier Rate

    I can't speak for you, but my deal runs $79.99 until the middle of February. It's Sunday ticket, Premier, DVR service, Whole Home DVR, Free HD access, and with 3 HDDVRs. (Before anyone asks, NO, I am not a new customer. Been a customer for 2 years as a matter of fact. This is the second year...

    Terre Haute "locals"

    Yup, sill have WKEF. We didn't have one at all before yesterday, but I'd like it to be more local than that.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    Oh yea... I knew that. LOL! My mom lives in Effingham, and I noticed that. I don't know the answer to the SD vs. HD. I do know that HD locals are all Terre Haute has. I automatically got them because I already had the NY locals that they were giving for free. If I were to call to add them...

    Terre Haute "locals"

    Yea... ultimately, I don't really care what ABC or CW we have. The CW is in HD BTW. Two and a half men is on now, and it looks nice. We had none before, after all.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    The guide has been changed...and I can confirm it is showing "ABC 22." from Dayton, Ohio. Edit: Channel 19.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    Oh I think I see now...... The CW station is owned by Lin which also owns WTHI, and If I'm not mistaken it looks like WKEF is owned by Sinclair which also ownes WTWO and has an arrangement with WFXW. Makes a little more sense now. ....but I wish at least the ABC station was more local than that.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    LOL!!! What on Earth is Directv doing? Now we have ABC from Dayton, Ohio. WKEF. I swear it was WEHT this morning.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    I thought that was strange as well. I'll take it though. The ABC and CW appears as though they are both in HD. We'll see later.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    Interesting choices for ABC and CW. For ABC we got WEHT from Evansville, and for CW we got WBDT from Dayton Ohio. We didn't get WUSI or WVUT though, so no PBS. The national PBS is still on 65.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    LOL! small world! Robinson's not that big. I figure once word gets out that Direct has locals, we'll see alot more D* dishes in town. Mediacom sucks and people are starting to catch on to that. Edit: They just announed it on TV10. Can't get anymore official than that.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    That's ok. I have three HDDVRs anyway already. I did have 2 HDDVRs and 1 SD DVR, but when the SD DVR quit they sent an HR-21 to replace it, because of the locals.

    Terre Haute "locals"

    Tomorrow morning at 5 AM, it just simply says "Your local station is now available." That's good to know that we'll get one no matter what though.

    Hopefully I don't have to buy a distant. I hope one is imported. I'll find out in a few days.
