    Snow Disruption

    I've been a DTV customer since 2000 and this is the first time I've had to clear snow off my dish to restore channels. I was paranoid about snow issues before getting the dish and after reading posts and insisted that my dish be installed on a pole in the yard so that I could clean the snow off...

    The Masters Experience on DirecTV

    You are the most ignorant poster I've ever read here. You have completely screwed up the facts, and on top of that you have an agenda to boot, based on absolutely incorrect information. I'm not going to waste my time informing you, you obviously don't want the facts to get in your way...

    If you have a Grandfathered Package....Please Read

    Read my post over at dbsforums. They've been doing this for a while now, or they singled me out. In any case, it sucks.

    Nascar HotPass - Now 13 drivers / Voting information

    I had Hotpass last year and I'll have it this year. Almost thought I wouldn't renew, but now I'm looking forward to it. The lack of HD was the biggest problem last year. How could you watch the action in SD when you knew you could watch the race in HD? At the beginning of the season, I...

    What do D* customers think of D*?

    What's a "complete out"? I've never lost sat for more than a few minutes max, and only rarely, with both the 3 lnb for 3 years and the slimline for the last six months. HD no different than any other channels. Sounds like an alignment issue if you get "many" rain fades; not sure what...

    Directv Wants To Upgrade me for free?

    Just got a phone call from 888-763-7772 with a recorded message saying I needed a new dish and HD receiver to get NASCAR Hotpass in HD next year. Everything will be free. I've already upgraded my dish and one box to the new MPEG4, so I guess they will upgrade my second HD box. Sounds like a...

    New Channels

    HD Channels Yes, I watch mostly digital OTA with an antenna . However, I wan't the ESPN channels, Discovery channels, Bravo, Comedy Central, CNBC and others when I want to watch. My kids want the MTV channels, Nickelodian, G4, Disney, etc. If there was an alternative, I'd consider it, but...

    Do I REALLY need to lease the receivers???

    I agree with you, although I don't have any empirical evidence. I have friends who have Charter, Cox, and Comcast cable. They all pay more than I do per month for less programming and fewer boxes as far as I can tell. When they bundle Internet and phone, they do get discounts, however the...

    DirecTV price increase coming?

    Hmmm. ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNNews, ESPN Classic, ESPN DEPORTES, ESPNU (college sports), ESPN Alt (occasionally) ESPN Ocho nearly here... Dodgeball? Moments away. P.S. Loved the classic line in Dodgeball "ESPN the Ocho!" - funny movie

    only getting and paying for locals

    D*TV screwed me in the same way. I had the old Spanish Ultra Sin Locales package which was about $10 cheaper than the nearly equivalent Choice Plus without locals. They're marketing dept. kept calling about once a week and offering upgrades. In a moment of weakness and confusion, I agreed to...
