    How can I get PRI with Sirius?

    PRI is not available on "Best of XM". I would have to have a Sirius receiver and an XM receiver, and pay 2 subscriptions, not to mention that only 1 receiver can fit in the car. Great job, US Government, to allow ONE company to have a monopoly in this industry!

    Is Directv better?

    I'm not going to get high quality & quantity of HD? What about best deal and best DVR? I already have DTV, so I know about their local sports packages...Folks were asking for "more information", so I provided it in hope of some answers... And if this fellow works for DTV, I should have a...

    How can I get PRI with Sirius?

    I've had Sirius since 2006. We started out with both NPR and PRI, both of which have the lion's share of Public Radio content. Sirius dropped PRI in 2007. However, it remained on XM. Now the companies are merged, sort of. But since I have Sirius equipment and subscription, I cannot get...

    West Coast Network Feeds

    I live on the East coast, but my DTV menu lists 4 channels with West Coast CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC feeds. However, they do not let me view the west coast feeds, ever. I called, but I can't even pay to get those. (Why then, are they in my menu?) Are there any ways or any cable or sat services...

    Is Directv better?

    This fellow says he works for DTV... As far as "more information", I want the highest quality and quantity of HD stations; I want the full gamut of locals, and local sports channels including YES and SNY. Would like to get the CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC West feeds, in case I miss a show here in...

    Is Directv better?

    Hmmm. I actually got the idea to do this from this thread right here, right on Satellite Guys forum! The posters' first hand experience seems to differ with your opinion! http://www.satelliteguys.us/242118-directv-deals-existing-customer-4.html

    Is Directv better?

    2 Rooms. I checked the other thread about upgrading, it seems that there are few issues in doing new service in wife's name. What "Issues" specifically are you referring to? I don't know how subjective my questions were, perhaps a bit, but they are still answerable by folks here, I believe...

    Is Directv better?

    So I just had to sign up in my wife's name to get a deal on HD upgrade. It's amazing how much better they treat new customers than existing. Something immoral about that, but the cell phone companies do the same thing! Guess it's a bean-counter thing... I guess the installers won't care that...
