    Shaw Direct Signal in Az

    Will do, been looking at Craigslist and Facebook marketplace but nothing yet, hopefully something will show up. Doesn't look like there is many dealers out there selling new ones anymore, and the ones I have found are more than I would like to pay.

    Shaw Direct Signal in Az

    I am east of Sacramento near Folsom Lake and found a GeoSatPro 1.2m dish awhile back so I ordered the F1X LNB from KuSat to play around. I am about 200 miles from the Oregon border and estimate about 250-275 miles from the lowest contour. I am getting signals in the low to mid 50's on some...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    Was curious so just did the math, if I missed anything please correct: 272 total games, minus: 15 on Amazon 19 on NBC 20 on ESPN (some simulcast on ABC and ESPN+) 1 on ESPN+ (exclusive) 7 on NFL Net So, that leaves 210 available to Sunday Ticket, but you have to subtract the 3 (4 on week 1)...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    Good article, thanks. I wonder if this means just recording of the games to watch later or also basic pause/rewind while watching live?

    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    Looking forward to the first Sunday where I will be watching the Scott Hanson (prefer Siciliano though) RedZone channel on DirecTv while reading all the complaints on Twitter from those paying $300 and are blacked out from the 3 games shown locally that day, and how they either need to switch to...

    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    Unless things change, you will still need Live TV to watch the games on your local CBS and FOX stations, as they are blacked out on Sunday Ticket. And those are usually high profile games, involving the local teams and the one or two big national matchups that aren't in prime-time.

    “Moving” new strategy or tips?

    There is a post on the other forum about using chat to change the service address and using Covid as the reason to not wanting a tech to come out. Said it took 4 hours, but got it done. I could see if you say you are high risk and your doctor says no visitors, it would be hard for them to push...

    Moving back to Directv, got some great deals bundling with ATT internet

    I think I understand what you are saying, and I have a "moved" account with my billing address for DirecTv the same as my ATT cell phone address, and both accounts use the same email address. I don't have combined billing but from what others said, the system should automatically recognize the...

    $25 off DirecTV or DirecTV Now with AT&T Unlimited Plus

    Wonder how easy it will be to get the discount? I'm a longtime ATT Wireless and DirecTv customer but even though my billing address and e-mail are the same, I don't think ATT has figured it out. Every couple of weeks I get mail invites to "Switch to Directv since I am wireless customer" and...

    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    I was thinking of trying it out, but no way with them not having local games on the RSNs, which I don't see mentioned anywhere on their site. http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/directv-now-has-its-share-of-sports-but-no-nfl-sunday-ticket-or-local-rsn-games.html

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I expect an increase every year, but $6 for Xtra, plus a possible RSN fee increase it a little more than makes me comfortable. If they would keep it in the $4 range I would probably absorb it without much fight, but more than that and I start looking at alternatives.

    Vacation Suspension leaves DVRs in a mess!

    Not only that, but I wouldn't think it would be too hard to program the DRV so it looks for future showings of the same episode and tries to record them if the scheduled recording wasn't successful, or the signal dropped out for a couple of minutes due to rain fade or some other reason.

    Thinking of going with Shaw in California, have a few questions

    I am in Northern California and am looking at getting Shaw, but was wondering if they have any HD, PVR or other hidden fees or taxes not listed on their site? I am looking at getting just a single room PVR setup with either Western Life or Ontario Life, is there any benefit programming wise...

    The PlayStation Vue Thread

    Do all devices allow for 60fps? I have an original PS3, Roku 3 and FireTv and am looking at signing up mainly to get the RedZone channel, but only if the quality is good.
