Call TWC and tell them you want to drop RR. They will send you to a retention agent and you'll get offered all kinds of deals. I did that with Comcast for years. Then just hang with it and enjoy the savings for a while. All the cable companies play that game. Then just stop comparing...

Mine has been plugged into a surge suppressor power strip for 18 months with no issues.

I had a moment of pause on the 2-year commitment too. But after looking at the channel line up and real monthly costs, including all fees after promotions end, I chose DTV My 2 years would be just about up and I have no intention of changing. The only thing that bothers me is that they extend...

I called AT&T to make a change my phone service and they tried to sell me DTV. When I told them I already had it, they said if I commit to keeping it for at least 12 months, they will apply a $5 mo. credit to my bill. They confirmed it doesn't extend my current commitment which has 18 months...

Yes, I got the Angels and Demon on my DVR the other day. I sent an email to *D saying I never ordered it and got the reply back saying: "Thanks for writing. I checked and verified that you have not been charged for this movie. The DIRECTV Cinema Angels and Demons has been downloaded to the...

I know this is old issue, but here's a link to the federal trade commission site that shows you your rights under federal law. Some states have more stringent laws. The Cooling-Off Rule: When and How to Cancel a Sale The exemption that they could use from the Federal 3-day cooling off...

Well can you be more specific than "sucked A$$"? Bad channel line up? Bad picture? Bad prices? They won't be ready in my area for about 9 more months. I'm hoping that the arrival of another competitor will help bring down the prices. DTV has has too many weather disruptions and I don't...

I have 3 receivers, 2 HD and SD. I'm planning to replace the TV that has the SD receiver soon and want to upgrade to HD, but I don't want to extend my DirecTV contact. Is there some way to do it? I just got extended a couple months ago when I did the last upgrade to HD, and hate being...

Last winter I had several issues with snow and ice build up on my dish. It's on the roof of a condo building with restricted access so it's not easy to get up there and clear it. I saw something call "Rainshield" at Best Buy that is supposed to make the surface super slippery to repel rain...

If you're a Costco member... Signed up at the Costco store... I got free HD DVR and 2 free standard def receivers, no installation fee and discounts on the first year of service. I paid $0 to get started.

It has nothing to do with Apple or AT&T The $2.95 charge is the standard charge that Sirius put on in March for adding internet listening accounts. If you bought a 6 month or better renewal before March, it was free for the duration of your renewal. If you already have your account set up...

Thanks, but need one that works, not looking for parts.

Called them last night before I posted. They want me to pay $99 plus $49 for installation. Told them I can install myself and they said "Not an option if you but it from us direct, but if you go to Best Buy or someplace like that you can pick on up and install yourself."

Can anyone tell me where to find the best deal on a HD DTV Receiver? Currently have the H22 HDDVR and two D12 standard def receivers. replacing one of the standard TVs with an HD set and want to upgrade the receiver to HD. (Don't need a second DVR) Any spectacular deals out there?

Well the reality is that I'm listening to something on Sirius at least 4 or 5 hours a day. Even when it goes up to $15 a month, it's still less than I used to spend on CDs or iTunes before I subscribed. So it's still a good value for me. If this small increase makes it less likely that they...
