So I was having issues with both of my receivers losing channels. Called DirecTV and they sent out two installers to check the problem. The installers ended up replacing the LNB at the dish and the entire wiring from the dish to the house and inside the house. They even burried the wire from the...

CenturyLink keeps sending me notices about bundling my DirecTV with my phone/internet and I can save $5. My question is this.....if I have problems with my DirecTV service and/or billing, do I call DirecTV or do I have to go thru CenturyLink for everything?

Yes it is. I've had both Dish and DirecTV and DirecTV is so much better. But, I was hating DirecTV because I was paying $99 a month. To me, paying $99 a month for TV should give you every channel, DVR service, HD, etc. It is ridiculous how expensive it is. So I was extremely happy to hear about...

I downgraded to Select and I'm still getting the Free HD for 24 months.

In regards to the new packages I want to make a shout out to Jason for starting this thread and say THANK YOU!!!! I just called and got changed to the Select package. You and this site has saved me alot of money. We mainly watch the network channels (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX) and have been paying...

How much does it cost to get the locals? Right now I am paying $3.50 each for CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC.

A couple of questions folks. First, on the SD vs HD locals. If I read this correctly above, when we call DirecTV we are supposed to request the SD locals so we get the locals for free? If we ask for the HD locals they are going to charge us for it? If I understood correctly, even if we ask for...

I just called and asked what specials they had going for Sunday Ticket. She came back with $63.99 for 5 payments totalling $320. I said that was more than I could afford and she said one moment. Then she came back and said would you want any premium channels and I said no and she said that was...

Thank you very much. You have no idea how much I appreciate this. I know this took alot of effort on your part. This is the 2nd year I have benefited from you doing this. Much appreciated.

Well aren't you the bearer of good news. LOL. I do have two of them so I guess I could switch them. We don't ever use the other one that much. Any idea why the hard drive would be going bad? I've had it barely less than a year.

Is anyone else having problems with their DVR audio and video cutting out when watching pre-recorded programs? It has done it for about a week now. For us, we have only noticed it on ABC cause that's the only shows we've watched on our DVR have come from ABC. It did it last week with Lost and...

Gotcha. Thank you!!!

How about if DirecTV doesn't provide locals in my area? Do I still need to contact them? They don't provide locals where I live but I can pick them up using an off-the-air antenna. I'm not sure DirecTV would have anything to do with that but I might be wrong????

I have a HR20 and I have ran the antenna setup. After the scan for local channels most of them have come up on the list except one. It's not a big deal but it is a channel I would like to have. The channel I'm missing is 10.2 which is WTHI out of Terre Haute, Indiana. It is a channel that is...

I live in Indiana. If I subscribe to YES Network will I be able to see all the Yankees games? Or do I need to subscribe to MLB EI?
