I'm going on 11-12 years with ST and did my annual call regarding ST. I just called the main number and stated "sunday ticket" and the automated system reported that it could take care of my request; I responded that I wanted to speak with a customer service rep. When I reached the rep, I was...

This is my eighth season with DirecTV and NFL ST. I received the $20off/six month promotion plus three free months of HBO.

I received the $20 off for six months deal too. I just called the 800-531-5000 number to reach billing department. Once I reached a rep, I asked about getting a discount on NFL ST. I was then transferred to the "group that handles that service". Once I reached the second rep, I said that I...

I had my 5LNB/Slimline dish installed on a 6x6 pressure-treated wood post. I used a 12-foot 6x6 post with 4 feet in the ground (along with ~300 pounds of concrete) and the dish is mounted at the top. So, the dish is actually about 10 feet off the ground and is very stable (exposed post is 8...

I would love a BlackBerry DVR app from Directv too (I have the Tour/9630). Companies need to educate themselves about the number of these devices that are out there. The media loves the iPhone... but here's an excerpt from a cnet article from a few weeks ago: ~~~~ In 2009, Research In...

Good point Big Dawg. Storm is its own BB animal, but there are different OS versions for the other (more "standard") BBs. I'm sure that does affect development. Even so, Directv should have the resources to compensate as needed. Thanks for the head's up that the BB app was posted...

I agree. I understand that the media is in love with the iPhone and Apple's marketing engine does a great job from a product recognition, but I can't understand why the BlackBerry is often forgotten. Directv is yet another company that seems to forgot (or perhaps they don't even know) that...

For fans of the Miami Dolphins that receive the weekly NFL schedule from Directv, do you think that Directv is going to keep the picture of Jason Taylor on the email message through the end of the season, or will they finally realize that he is no longer with team and use someone else? Sure...

I would suggest sending an email to D* first. Basically, mention that you would like to upgrade to the HD DVR and are looking for their best deal. I've sent an email to D* about four different times over the past three years (for various requests) and each time, they've replied asking me to...

I had the HR10-250/Tivo DVR for a number of years and loved it because it was rock solid (ie. froze maybe once or twice, recordings were successful, etc). I added the HR20-700 DVR around May 2007 and have been happy with it since I received it. I wasn't an early adopter like some people here...

D* did auto-renew my ST and SF. Their email had a subtle note off to the side that mentions that SF was auto-renewed. My recent bill has a charge for both of them on it: NFL SUNDAY TICKET Early Renewal in 6 Payments 41.50 NFL SUNDAY TICKET SuperFan Early Renewal in 6 Payments...

I also received the same call because the call center that called me thought I still had my old MPEG2 Tivo DVR. I had recently upgraded to the HR21. Anyway, I asked the rep some questions about why they were calling and offering this free/no-commitment upgrade and was told that D* is trying to...

The Directv weekly five schedule (that was sent via email on 10/4) stated that the Dolphins/Texans were going to be in HD on 719. That channel was actually showing the Patriots/Browns (which Directv had listed as 726). I only have Directv for the NFLST to watch the Fins. I realize that there...

Hello, I have a question and I have been unable to find an existing thread on this topic, so here it goes... I have been a DirecTV customer for about five years and have the following standard programming: TOTAL CHOICE Monthly - 47.99 HD Access Monthly - 9.99 Network: CBS HD Monthly...
