    DIRECTV Drops WWE PPV's

    I guess I don't understand why Direct or Dish would not offer them at all? I can see buy's being down, but isn't any buys still better than none? Am I missing something?

    CSN Philly saga could end - if DIRECTV and Dish agree to arbitration

    It is not necessarily residents of Philly though. Anyone who is considered "in-market" for this RSN but live in a "rural" area where cable or FIOS doesn't reach, is SoL if you are a philly sports fan (with the exception of Eagles). I know people who live close enough to town for DSL service...

    NHL and MLB question

    I have the NHL Center Ice package to watch the Flyers. I live in Williamsport, PA smack dab between Pittsburgh and Philly markets. I get about 75 of 82 Flyers Games with NHL center ice from the away broadcast. If the NHL Network is airing the flyers game, I'm blacked out based on my zip...

    HR21-700 Value?

    I did not return the card. Although I'm not sure that was in the listing, so how would ebay know? Anyway, I guess I can take the card out and advertise that it doesnt come with the card then. Thanks for the info.

    HR21-700 Value?

    My actual question: Does my old deactivated HR21-700 receiver have any resale value? Its in good condition, and I own it outright, although it was a battle with DirecTV at first because the CSR would agree that I owned the receiver, but the box to return it would show up and then $200 on my...

    CSN Philadelphia On Satellites

    Not sure to be honest, having never been to anyones house with FIOS as its not in our area. I know friends in Pittsburgh and Greater Philly who have it. All I know is I've had Comcast, Dish and DirecTV and Direct has been the best picture, best equipment, best software and best customer...

    CSN Philadelphia On Satellites

    I don't have FIOS in my area. I do actually have Comcast for internet and its complimentary basic cable. So I pay Comcast $29/month for internet, and DirecTV $99/month for television. I don't just accept the fact that just because Comcast has internet and DirecTV doesnt that I have to go with...

    CSN Philadelphia On Satellites

    I honestly have read this a few times and have no idea what you are saying. A violation of what for Comcast to ask for pricing that is out of line with the industry? As far as "why bring up Sunday Ticket", ask Comcast, they are the ones that brought it up. Although it's good to know that...

    CSN Philadelphia On Satellites

    For all the "If DirecTV does this " or "If Comcast would just do this" comments, and "The FCC still probably do nothing" sentiments, this goes back to what I suggested in my first post... we, the customers, the people, the constituents of the FCC, investigate class action lawsuit over these...

    CSN Philadelphia On Satellites

    I don't agree this is about money. Plus I'm saying class action suit for the purpose of fair trade not taking place. I'm not looking for compensation, I'm looking for fair trade practices to take place. I could understand if there was a limitation by either organization that physically...

    CSN Philadelphia On Satellites

    It's official! DirecTV to start carr... JUST KIDDING. You already knew that though. Has anyone ever discussed a class-action lawsuit over this issue? The cable companies in neighboring counties, from small size-very local up to the major players, all have CSN Philly as part of their...

    Newer Receiver than HR-34?

    This may be answered or a thread already going, but I couldn't find in a quick search. Friends of mine just replaced an older DirecTV system (dish, wiring, receivers, the whole 9 yards) and have themselves setup with a genie system (HR-34 I believe) and the mini-clients scattered throughout the...

    Tech Quest about HR21-700

    Does anyone know if the HR21-700 disables other video-out's when the HDMI is in use? A D* installer showed me a trick about using the old red-white-yellow cables to split out to a vcr, and then run coax to any other tv to run "dual output" let's say. But I believe at the time I wasn't using...
