    AT&T To Buy DIRECTV for $67 Billion

    I called AT&T about a cell phone charge and the customer service rep asked me about my tv provider before hanging up. She was trying to push U-verse onto me and I told her I was happy with Directv. The rep went off on Directv saying they were not truthful with their ads and downright...

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    Same here. I quit using TWC app and now use the Accuweather app. A couple of weeks ago we were have a blizzard where I live and I flipped to TWC, instead of talking about the storm they were having a marathon with the Coast Guard reality show. I was fed up and I am happy Directv dumped their...

    Has anyone called and got their DirecTV bill reduced? Share your stats here!

    I receive $40 off my bill each month. Have so for almost a year and half currently. I have been with Directv for over 12 years and haven't been under contract for numerous years. Yes, my equipment is old but I don't like the 2 year contract. I figure that if I get free equipment upgrades...

    Trying to get newer equipment without 2 year commitment

    I guess I thought newer was better. Looks like I will not press the issue

    Trying to get newer equipment without 2 year commitment

    I have been a customer with Directv over 12 years now. I haven't had a 2 year commitment for a long, long time and really don't want one now. My HD receivers are all H20's and I want newer receivers. But, to get that I have to commit to a contract. I have the protection plan if that matters...

    From DIRECTV: Just a Reminder...

    Hmmmmm. I will have to check when I get home but my statement reads that I have "Total Choice Plus." I don't want to lose the Golf Channel.

    Does the H20 get the new software (GUI)?

    I wish that was true. I have two H20's and one H23 and they wouldn't upgrade my equipment unless I agreed to a new 2 year commitment. I have been with Directv for over 10 years and purchase one movie a week on average. I don't plan on leaving but do not want a 2 year commitment either. I was...

    HR2x / H21-H25 Software Release 11/1/11 v. 057B & 047B

    Please excuse my stupidity but does the receiver need to be hooked up to phone line/ethernet to get the download? I have never had my receiver hooked up to ethernet or phone line since the day I got the receivers. That was 2002!

    Silly question about 1080p Directv signal

    I do not have VOD. I order 1080p through their normal pay per view channels. Are you saying there may be a quality issue between VOD and ppv? With VOD being better?

    Silly question about 1080p Directv signal

    Is the 1080p signal that I receive the same quality as that of a Blu-ray? Probably a really dumb question. Is the 1080p signal compressed? I swear I can see a difference between 1080p movie content from Directv than from my Blu-ray. With, the Blu-ray player having better picture quality. I...

    HD Clarity (June 7th)

    Did anyone notice HD looking extremely sharp and clear last night on 277 & 278? I went back and forth between Travel HD (277) and History HD (269) and there was a noticeable difference in picture clarity. Even my wife noticed. I hear about compressed and uncompressed video and could last...

    H20 Receiver problem, or is it my tv?

    I have the H20 HD receiver hooked up via hdmi to my Sony KDL52V4100. With this set up I am experiencing "stutter" issues when I watch programs with a lot of action in the background (ex. American Idol). I have tried switching over to component connections but this did not correct the problem...
