The pro sports will generally be blacked out unless you have the corresponding sports package (MLB EI, etc). The post games shows won't be blacked out like they are on the sports packages. Some sports like college football will be shown and their regular programming will be available.

I wonder how we'll see this spun. It appears that DirecTV's custom satisfaction number are beginning to take a tumble and doing so at a time when the rest of this horrid industry is actually starting to improve.

I'm positive they didn't just pick people that give them positive feedback. How much of the information they use is up to them....no one is forced to participate.

It appears DirecTV is edging closer and closer to their $100 ARPU goal for 2012. The ARPU announced for Q1 really doesn't include the price increase that went into effect in March and doesn't include the MRV surcharge.

It's sad how little these companies think of their customers.

For very high end internet service (20GB+/20GB+) I would much rather pay $100/month than that or more for just TV. Over that net connection I can handle all of my communication needs (Phone, email, messaging, etc.), Entertainment, and data. Standalone TV services are facing the same future as...

I think they're just having a bit of a problem parking D12 in the proper orbit. This video of their attempts was just released. YouTube - bad parking

Don can you use the app to print a webpage...things like directions, recipes, etc? How about a PDF file or email? I'm not looking to print out War and Peace, but sometimes you need to have a hard copy. The cash cow part of the App Store doesn't bother me as the lack of innovation. The scary...

Besides not having Flash it also doesn't have the ability to print. Contrary to an earlier post...the first generation iPad does have a 3G capability. They will be available later this month. My guess is they needed to work out the procedure for the service with AT&T. The initial iPad launch...

The on-demand stuff?

They may not know but they would care. Also remember that your location can be determined by your IP address.

Yes, he should read the lease that would be the most helpful thing he could do for himself. Until he has done that...or paid a lawyer to do it for him there's really not much sense in doing much else. Oh, wait...I guess he could file for a declaratory judgment for a prescriptive easement...

That would be an interesting application of the law...especially if there are stated objections to roof access. In many jurisdictions it can take over 20 years for an easement by prescription to have any chance of standing up in court. I can't think of any place where that time-line is less than...

Bring in a set of rabbit ears and attach them to the TV...you'll have some more choices. Of course, trying to bypass the parental controls or attaching an antenna may also lead to you having much more free time than you want coupled with much less income. Is watching TV for 30 minutes really...

Scott, perhaps that's because their statement is an absurd piece of drivel. Next time DirecTV raises their prices perhaps we should all say no and expect them to continue to deliver their service until a new contract can be negotiated? Making statements like the one DirecTV made are not the...
