    Directv sues Dish

    I switched from DISH back to Direct TV about 8 months ago. Before you leave Direct TV make sure your local channels are in high def. on DISH. That was a big reason for me leaving DISH. NONE of the network stations were up linked in high def. in the Macon, GA market.

    Program infomation...

    I have five Direct TV receivers. Only the receiver that is the DVR lists programs as to their first air date. Is there any way to get this info from the other receivers? By looking at the first airdate you know if the program is a rerun or NEW. Thanks for answer.

    Sound--High Def.--problem...

    Yesterday I spoke with a tech fellow at Direct TV. I asked about my sound problems. The short of it is that he related to me that it is a known problem. The problem is that the background noise overcomes and drowns out the actors voices in many high def. movie/programs. It does not happen...

    Rainy day in Georgia...

    I have been Comcast, Direct TV, Dish and back to Direct TV. Question for you knowledgeable guys. My bill is about $140.00 a month. I have high definition and a lot of packages. Almost daily, during the last month, minimal rain, overcast days, and our TV's go out. I can understand in a...

    Laddyboy: I do not think so. The Big Ten network was one of many early problems. This has to go back to October of 2008. I called them twice. I said I would pay extra to get the Big Ten Station on 439. THEYCLEARLY TOLD me that it could not be done. I was buying about 6 PPV movies a...

    I did it twice. CLEARLY they told me, as it says in the footnote. NO CAN DO. I use 250 readers to read the footnotes. Wanna hear the story about my order for a one time "GUIDE". Nah, too late. Again, they said they would send me a guide. They did for $4.00 something a month. Got that...

    I did what they told me to do, E* and if you look closely, the footprint does not get you to Macon, GA. I am a die hard Penn State fan. They promised. They lied. I called customer service two times. Please tell me if I am wrong. Still the station guide I have to prove my point does list Big Ten...

    Laddyboy: Thank you. So many industries. So many acronyms! When I sold about 50 big dish systems in the late 1990's I always told my customers about the same thing. They would ask how do we pay. I said: Do you want the music channels? Most said yes, then I said, best you pay with a check...

    Laaddyboy: Yes, I believe 3 out of 4 TV stations are SE of Macon. We live NE. I wrote to each station and they broadcast their network HD in HD. When I signed up with Dish they told me I would get HD locals. I can wait till next week. What is E*. Is there a 3rd Sat company? I read in yesterdays...

    When you pay for local stations. And when you pay for HD local stations. Are you entitled to HD local stations from DISH? I am so disappointed. Tell me I am dead wrong.
