    I HATE Google Assistant

    SandFarmer: You had written: "NEVER MIND!!" I was testing a new router and I guess it wouldn't let the GA access the "Mothership" so the search reverted to the old one. When I changed back to my normal router, GA was able to once again reach the Mothership and it's back. I knew it was too good...

    I HATE Google Assistant

    Hi all; thanks for the further clarifying replies. TheKrell: When I asked if you are or are not using voice commands on your Dish receivers, you said "I do not". But then you added, "I prefer the 40 anyway." Uhmmmm.....that went over my head ;) What is "the 40"? What does it mean? What...

    I HATE Google Assistant

    TheKrell: funny you should bring that up!! ;):oldlaugh:eek: I'm referring to Amazon!!! My wife mainly uses Amazon Prime to get to some of the shows she watches; me, personally? I don't watch anything through them. I was just throwing out a few names of services (Netflix, Hulu, Vudu.....)...

    I HATE Google Assistant

    Hi Jason. So, you're saying that "The Google Assistant Voice commands are going to be the new Voice controls going forward"? Then does what you say negate or counter what the other member of your team - Rosita - said? Rosita said: "If you are not enjoying the Google Assistant integration to...

    I HATE Google Assistant

    I came to the forum to see about this new feature on Dish of Google Assistant as far as voice commands go, and.....looks like you beat me to the punch. And yes, I know: You're not going to be able to please everyone. When I went to use the Voice Command feature on my Dish remote control today...

    Pricing Inquiry

    Iceberg: I feel kind of sheepish for asking this, 'cause I'm not sure, but, does auto pay mean when DirecTV automatically charges my credit card each month? If so, then that's what they do. I don't actually fill out some sort of payment slip and put it in the postal mail each month along with...

    Pricing Inquiry

    Hi all. I realize I tend to write lengthy posts, so I'll try to keep this one relatively short :o Iceberg: The rep was correct with $75.99? That was the rep I was in the text "chat" with while on-line at the DirecTV web site. When I let him know that I was an already existing customer, he...

    Pricing Inquiry

    Hey, guys; thanks for all the replies. Well.....I guess in the picture of that ad (the screen shot from that link in my original post) is misleading in my estimation. I knew the check mark could be removed from the "Whole-Home", but I didn't realize that after this that the checks could be...

    Pricing Inquiry

    Hi all. I've been a DirecTV customer getting close to ten years now. We have two "standard/ basic" receivers, and the programming package we have is an "old" one that isn't even offered anymore ("Total Choice"). I was thinking about an equipment and programming upgrade. Here's a screen...

    DVR Service Fee

    Hi all. Wow....thanks for all of the replies!! Didn't think I would get this many!!! Yes, I do see that amongst the major service providers that DirecTV is the cheapest as far as the DVR fee goes. And like I said in my original post, I know that there are many that consider DVR's the...

    DVR Service Fee

    Hi all. I "stumbled" upon this web site while doing a search on the 'Net. I've belonged to DirecTV for about eight years. For all of these years we've had the Total Choice package, no premium channels (although I do like the inclusion of the IFC channel!! :D ). We have two Standard...
