    HD channels on SD TV ?

    I don't think that they could watch the Smithsonian channel without having an HD set. the channel is one of those straight HD channels and so far as I know, there is no SD transmission of it. I think that you would want to check in with Directv to find out for sure.

    Rate Conan's First Tonight Show!

    I hated the first show so much that I doubt that I will watch it again in the future. It was unfunny, draggy, and just plain amateurish. I think they will find, that they made a big mistake when they pushed Leno to retire before his time.

    My old Golden Retriever has had better days

    I had a 21 year old Arabian mare, that I had to make a decision about holding on or letting go. In the end, she let me know herself by refusing to eat or drink, that told me that she was trying to take matters into her own hands, and now it was up to me to help her achieve what she obviously...

    If for any reason you have to return the receiver back to Directv, or you get a new one, when they receive it they will clear the info and bill you.

    How is one's region determined?

    Regions are determined by the sports organizations involved and are separated into zip code areas. the zip for the address where your equipment is located is how its determined whether or not you have access to the RSN for a specific team. The satellite is usually quite good at knowing where...

    Credit card needed?

    If you have a debit card with the VISA logo on it, then you can use it with Directv. I tried to give this info to you yesterday, but it looks as if for some reason, it was not sent.

    Got a Call from DTV - This for Real?

    I would be extremely careful, this could be a competitor who is sending out one of their people, who could actually instally their equipment and lead you to believe that they are from Directv. If I were you, I would contact Directv either by phone or on the website to verify that you are...

    I'm moving - couple of questions

    Directv will send a letter addressed to new resident at your old address, and offer them a deal to sign up. I don't know if they consider that they own the dish, but they offer the "Movers Program" free of charge to you, and hope that they will pick up a new customer using your old dish. If I...
