    DirecTV CEO: NFL deal for the long haul

    I'm actually a fantasy player and in a points spread pickem and the Red Zone is worthless to us. We watch 2-3 tvs with emphasis on favorite team then best matchup/game, etc. There's apps to follow your fantasy scoring.

    Tips for retention at end of contract term

    Unfortunately customer service is going by the wayside in most businesses anymore. When there aren't many options for some services, being a long time loyal customer really doesn't mean anything like it used to.

    Antenna Question.

    I do stand corrected, it was the Easy HD Antenna that was comparable or basically the same thing.

    Antenna Question.

    I thought I read that antenna was similar to the ANT751R. I have two ANT751R's and they work great for half the price. My thread is http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/303190-Tired-of-not-getting-quot-local-quot-locals-would-like-some-help! Do a tvfool report because my distances are rather far...

    Lost signal

    Did you try the red button reset or check your signal meters? Are you sure your signal is lost and really it's something else?

    directv users

    Directv was a must for me when finally having our own place to live because of Sunday Ticket and at the time Mega March Madness. Directv is a must for sports fans even though the regional stuff went all to hell but that's not all Directv's fault really but I don't pay for the extra regional...

    What's a guy gotta do?

    Your tvfool looks way better than mine and I live in a valley with mountains and ridges. You can look at my thread and see what I am dealing with. I'm sure you wouldn't need antenna facing different directions but you can buy the ANT751R from Walmart shipped for like $37.95. They were out of...

    Las Vegas NV OTA questions - tv-tech challenged

    I would go to tvfool.com and antennaweb.org and type in your address. Then post the link or post the reports here for people to look at. I got a lot of help by doing that. I received some help here and could probably offer a little knowledge but nothing like the others in this forum. Others may...

    Tired of not getting "local" locals, would like some help!

    I hooked up the preamp on Saturday. I could pull the 42's easily (no issues) from the same tower as the 3's but I'm thinking WHSV is having some issues. I see some comments on their facebook about people losing signal. I'm not sure what their issue is but the reception has been more stable since...

    Tired of not getting "local" locals, would like some help!

    Of course after all of this, I then found out I could probably get the WHSV locals on D* now. Oh well, I get DC locals on D* and get my closer locals too so it's not all bad.

    Hopper OTA Adapter and Cable Question

    I actually got better results at http://antennaweb.org/. Also, check out my current thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/303190-Tired-of-not-getting-quot-local-quot-locals-would-like-some-help!, it may help you. I got the RCA ANT751R, two of them, and work great.

    Tired of not getting "local" locals, would like some help!

    Ok, I have temporarily mounted the antennas on the knee wall in the bonus room of my garage until I permanently mount them in the "attic" above my second floor and may even do it in the "attic" of the bonus room. I mounted one antenna and didn't even aim it, just pointed in general direction and...
