"A little old"?......I'd say EXTREMELY old to the point of being inexcusable. :mad:

While reading about the Directv Caribbean service mentioned in another posting here, I noticed that they are offering at least 5 international news channels in their packages. (CNNI, BBC World News, NHK World, Deutsche Welle, RAI). If all of this can be offered to the Caribbean, why on earth...

I know some may consider them the "competition"..(I like both forums :))...but am wondering if anyone knows what has happened to DBS Talk? I've been unable to access their website for many hours. Thanks!

The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is the best internet radio around, IMO. I have two of them and really like their sound and operation. They're perhaps a little more expensive than some but also have stereo sound and other features which many that I checked out don't.

I think you meant "customer", not "costumer". :)

$20. might be a bit steep...but I've been saying the same thing for years also. There's all kinds of English language programming from many parts of the world to which we should have access. The more international programming the better, to help us get over our xenophobia. :)

I was really sorry to hear this. Now more than ever we need the 24/7 BBC World News channel added to the Directv lineup. The BBC News channel is distributed by Discovery and couldn't be that difficult for them to add. Directv has been sadly lacking in world news coverage for quite a long time...

This whole thread would have been immensely more interesting and worthwhile if the OP had only come back on and explained what actually happened and why they considered the installer "rude".

WTRF-DT, Wheeling WV, chs 7.2 and 7.3 have been fixed.

Channel 25. (At least on all newer receivers)

Can you post the address for this? For some reason, I can't seem to locate it. Many thanks! :)

It's usually within 24-48 hours. However, what you get as a reply, in my experience, is usually what I call a "canned" response rather than a truly individual reply. They seem to rely heavily on certain preprogrammed sentences and wording. I personally find this rather irritating. :(

According to a scrolling message being run over CCTV-9 a few minutes before and after the hour, Directv will no longer be carrying that channel after 8/25/08. Although it's not one of the best of the genre, it's sad to see another source of international news being discarded by the Directv...

If Directv has space to add Voom after they begin using the new satellite, why shouldn't they? The more HD the better, IMHO. There should be something for all interests. Personally, I consider all the HD sports coverage a gigantic waste of bandwidth. We all have our likes and dislikes.

Why?? Have you ever even seen any Al Jazeera English programming? What do you think might befall you if it were to be carried on Directv? :confused: If you don't like it, don't watch it....just like I do with all of their silly sports programming and pop music shows. Satellite TV should...
