    Video and sound drop

    I have my acct suspended for 6 months and am trying Directv Now. DTVNow still has room for improvement but so far it's been satisfactory for the 3 weeks I've being using it. None of the video/sound issues discussed in this thread. At the end of the suspension period we relocate back to our...

    Video and sound drop

    It's called "plausible deniability" . Unfortunately it doesn't appear I can attach the link to the www.nextdoor.com site with the discussion on this subject without logging in. (over 40 responses) that represents what many were saying it was an issue: This response is representative of the...

    Video and sound drop

    I live east of Phoenix. There's been an ongoing discussion in the local neighborhood forum about this issue. Several have had equipment swapped and service calls with no improvement. The most recent discussion suggest DTV knows of the problem and is "working" on it. One poster said the DTV...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    The link for RSN fee worked several days ago.My bill went up about $11, of which a little over $7 was for Fox Sports AZ. The only way to eliminate the RSN fee was to drop to the lowest package.... $53.99. Which I did. The link doesn't appear to be working now.

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    Don't know what happened but by the time I noticed the multiple posts it was beyond the window of time that I could delete. Forum moderator(s) feel free to delete redundant postings. No electrons will be harmed

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    When I had CentruyLInk for phone service had issues with caller id. For some reason they were interfacing with the DTV receiver. At that time my DTV bill was bundled with CenturyLink. A message would pop up saying if problems to call CL who knew nothing about their software issue. Finally...

    Alternating between basic and premium DIRECTV packages

    Didn't intend to stir up a hornet's nest. Just thought it might be an option for the original poster. As far as the tech didn't drive from the Phoenix area...... I had no reason to dispute him when he said he drove up to our area from Phoenix. Our ensuing conversation was about Phoenix. Not...

    Alternating between basic and premium DIRECTV packages

    I'm sure you are correct. I haven't read the fine details of the TOS but really don't feel I'm "cheating" since we only have a single receiver and can use it only at one place at a time. In fact a couple years ago our receiver stopped working while at the cabin and DTV actually sent a...

    Alternating between basic and premium DIRECTV packages

    Responding to the original question, if you are watching DTV only at one place at a time and have the same setup at both your homes, you might consider just disconnecting a receiver at one location and hand carry between the two homes. It's another story to watch simultaneously at both...

    DirecTV notices when you disconnect the internet!

    I get daily emails that I'm not connected. My 768 kbps DSL service is too slow to effectively be of benefit. The email had some verbiage that stated I was getting these messages because I had opted to receive this kind of notification. The delete button works fine.. I'm concerned if I were...

    Question about having DirecTV at multiple locations

    That's what I do. We have a cabin about 130 miles from our main home. I installed a duplicate dish setup at the cabin and hand carry the receiver with us when we go to the cabin. I only have one receiver so no question about account stacking. DTV has even sent a technician to the cabin when...
