Thanks for the replies, they ended up giving me a free service call for being a loyal customer.

I've been a Dtv customer for 6 1/2 years and have never had the protection plan because I've always been able to fix any problem, however after talking with tech support I believe my SWM switch or power inserter is the problem. Can I add the protection plan to cover the service call or is it...

We were both watching the SD feed from DirecTV. It was really evident during the Husky, Notre Dame game.

Well it looks like I have confirmation of this, a friend of mine that lives about 20 miles away was seeing the same problems.

I am having problems with KING TV, channel 5, in Seattle, is anyone else experiencing problems? Over the past week or so I keep getting pixelation, then the picture gets choppy and then the screen turns purple. This is happening on all my receivers. Our locals come off the 101 and my signal...

KING TV Seattle mis-post

Glad you had a good experience. Its nice to hear that once in a while. Enjoy D*.

Sorry, double post.

I can confirm that KOMO tv in seattle is now off the air on E*.

You'd have to go through DirecTV, because all of the newer receivers are leased and cannot be legally sold on ebay. I ran into that problem when I tried to activate a receiver bought on ebay, luckily I was able to get a refund. Your other option is to buy one at Best Buy, but you may be able to...

Definitely report him. Those cables are included and cannot be charged for. This is clearly fraud and he should be disciplined for it.

I really like my DirecTV. I switched from Comcast 4 years ago and couldn't be happier. I have since referred my neighbor and grandparents and they like it as well. All receivers are leased unless you pay a ton to buy them at a retail store, but I think its easier just to take the free receivers...

A phone line is only required to order PPV from your TV, so the receiver will work fine with no phone and you can order PPV from the directv website. The R22 has ethernet capabilities as well as all of the newer HD DVRs, but ethernet is optional. The other SD DVRs do not have ethernet.

DirecTV is a great service, which I have had for four years. I had Comcast previously and my girlfriend's family has Dish Network. I am convinced that DirecTV is the way to go. I have referred two people recently to DirecTV and they love the service. There are bad installers out there, but...

It would have to be an older model DVR, like a Tivo model since most of those were owned. Many of the DVRs on ebay are actually leased models and cannot be activated. I'd recommend giving D* a call and see what kind of deal they can make you.
