    I will never do business with directv again.

    I'm not going to get in an arguing match over this. Like I said above I know I'm getting screwed but am willing to pay the price for NFLST. AS SOON AS the NFL signs with other companies to provide NFLST, I'm gone....(and yes, the NFL learned their lesson by exclusively going to D*. They will...

    I will never do business with directv again.

    I think the OP is pretty much just looking for people to agree with him...which I do. D* has pretty shady business practices going on when it comes to equipment, contracts, and customer service. For example, say you sign up for D* and pay $199 or $299 for their POS HR20 DVR (I have already...

    FSN North/Wisconsin & CBS 58 Milwaukee HD

    I went around in circles with E* about this, explaining to them I live 20 min. from Milwaukee and 6 hours from Twin Cities. They told me to contact FSN with any complaints because they set the zipcode rules. I was not suprised when D* has the same issue when I switched a couple months ago...

    No Audio / Crackling

    OK, so I had an HR20-100 and it went down, so D* sent me a new reciever (HR20-700). I get it setup/activated and go through about 3 channel tests with the customer service rep....everything is fine.

    Format Switching

    I just got directv installed....love it so far minus 1 thing. Is there a way to setup the box so that when I'm viewing SD the format is 420p and when I'm watching HD the format is 720p without manually changing the format? TW box used to switch this automatically. Thanks in advance (btw...

    Thinking about signing up for DirecTV?

    I just signed up for Directv on Thursday, installation is 07/27. Should I cancel and wait for this deal? Here's what I got: Hotpass $10/mo for 10 months NFL ST and Superfan I paid 199 for HR20, which I'm still not all that happy about, but the 10/mo made it a little easier to digest.
