    Free NFL Sunday Ticket?

    I've got the same thing showing up on my account. How long can I wait to cancel before they hit me with any charges (that wouldn't be posted back to my card in full if i did cancel). I'm hoping to get superfan for free when it is fully in the system, but if not I think I'm going to be giving...

    DirecTV Price Increase Effective 2/27/08

    Do you have the protection plan? I guess maybe I need to try emailing another CSR and see if I get a different response to the question. If having the protection plan makes it so you didn't have to re-up your commitment on a equipment swap that might make it worthwhile to me to get.

    DirecTV Price Increase Effective 2/27/08

    I emailed them a few months back and asked the same question. The reply I got back was that any equipment replacement (whether it be under protection plan or not) will add another commitment.

    DIRECTV PROTECTION PLAN Question

    Are you sure that they require you to agree to another 2yrs if they have to replace a leased box that isn't under the protection plan? I recently got D* service and I don't remember them explaining that to me when they told me about it.

    HR20-100 needs rebooting to play recordings

    I just signed up for D* about a month ago and had the same problem with my HR20-100. It started out giving me the done/delete message pretty infrequently but by about a month in it was happening on a daily basis. I'd suggest calling D* and trying to get a new unit while it's still under...

    Switch from Cable

    I just made the switch from Comcast to D* and was in a similar situation. After numerous calls to D* I was unable to get them to budge on the upfront cost of the HR20. I was able to get them to give me some programming credits, however (10$ off per month for 10 months). Since I wanted NFLST I...

    Why is it so much more expensive than cable?

    Is there a monthly fee to lease also? I'm currently thinking about switching from comcast to Dtv and was under the assumption you paid the $$ upfront but in return there weren't any monthly lease fees. Is that incorrect?

    D - Seattle area?

    I'm currently considering ditching comcast to get in on the NFLST deal DirecTV is running. Having just moved up here from Florida I was wondering is there any issue w/the rainy fallls and rain fade for satTV? I know that it's not supposed to be too big of an issue anymore but figured I'd try...
