    NHL center ice

    I'm in NC and I was able to get the Rangers/Detroit in HD last night. I didn't watch for long, but flipped there briefly and it was definitely in HD.

    Versus Removed Sept 1 from DirecTV

    I am a PBR (Bull Riding) fan and a big hockey fan, but I wont call D* and complain about the channel being off because ultimately it will no good, except to waste 30 minutes of my life. I emailed the PBR and the NHL and told them that I am losing my only link to their programming which will only...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I finally got my AAA discount (on my 3rd bill). They told me, they could only escalate it after the 2nd billing cycling. I called in after I got my 3rd bill and the credit showed up 3 days later on my account. I still don't know where the $10 off for the first 2 months are, but at least it has...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I just got my 3rd bill and still no AAA discount!!! I have called at least 9 times in 3 months and they keep telling me to wait until the next month and see if it shows up. I have been very patient with these lying a**holes and those days are over! I called AAA and reported to them that Directv...

    How common is rain fade?

    I have been a customer for a couple of months and have lost signal twice, but only during very hard rain/thunderstorms (red on weather.com). The first time it was out for about 5-7 minutes, the last time it was out for 2-3 minutes. Once the "heavy" rain passed, it came back with no other issues...

    MLB IE HD: Anybody able to watch 747-1?

    747-1 is working now for me too. The announcer mentioned, "Welcome to those who were watching the Sharks game." Not sure if that had anything to do with it?

    Contact Needed for Direct local picture quality

    Mine are unwatchable as well. Web video looks better than the local channels! I bought OTA antenna to get HD locals, but it doesn't change the fact that the channels should look better.

    DirecTV Software Release for HR20 & HR21 Receivers 0x022B 4/23

    I agree. I got used to the guide saying "NEW" with TWC and it has been driving me crazy with only the year data on D*. But I guess i'll take what I can get. I'll press INFO and be happy. :)

    NBC Renews with NHL

    But they bring no ratings either, so give some other teams some exposure too, who knows, maybe someone that doesn't watch hockey will find a Edmonton vs. Calgary matchup interesting? I for one HATE seeing the Redwings/Rangers every weekend!! Most non-hockey people probably think there are still...

    MLB Extra Innings in HD

    I switched from TWC to D* to get the Braves game in HD. Only to find out that D* apparently has different rules for their blackouts and with them the Braves are now my home team (plus they blackout Sportsouth in my area) and I'm stuck without the games at all! Forget HD, I want the HD games back.

    Why such poor guide data?

    I have recent switched to D* from TWC and it really drives me crazy as well that the guide doesn't list the shows as "new" or "repeat". I guess it's something I have to get used to.

    Online Petition - Dish Network blackouts

    Direct TV apparently doesn't base it on the zipcodes from MLB.tv or MLB.com. They do their own. Like I said in an earlier post. With Timewarner, our local teams were Nationals and Orioles. But now with DTV, our home teams are Nats, Orioles and the Braves. All for the same zipcode 27828.
