    CBS and NFL Screw Up

    Same thing happened here in Champaign, IL. I don't have Sunday Ticket, but I was planning on watching the Bears/Chiefs on my local CBS channel. After the Colts game concluded, they went to the Bengals/Browns game even though we were scheduled to see the Bears game at 3:00pm central. Our local...

    Telefutura?

    Well, bad news on Telefutura. The response from DirecTV is I need to subscribe to the Basico package to get it. ($29.99/mo) However, I don't even see Telefutura listed on their channel listing: DIRECTV - BÁSICO I'd think it'd be something they'd add to the sports pack which I already have. I...

    Telefutura?

    Yeah, I just did that and am awaiting their response. I figured someone on here might know. :) Either way it sounds like I'll need to get a different dish.

    Telefutura?

    I noticed that TeleFutura is covering the SuperLiga soccer matches, though I can't find it on my DirecTV system. According to DirecTV's programming guide, it should be on 431 though I have nothing on 431. I'm assuming either I need a different dish setup to receive this channel (I just have 101...

    New Names & Price's for DirecTv Packages

    So what's the difference between my current Total Choice Plus + Tivo/DVR fee and the new Choice Xtra? (besides the price) Should I just stick with what I have, or upgrade? I can't really tell what the difference is. Thanks!

    Free Preview of NASCAR HotPass This Sunday

    This crap sucks. They have stupid announcers talking throughout the race. I thought I'd be able to hear the driver/crew chief talking with multiple camera angles. At least they keep one window of the race on during the commercial. But way too much babbling by announcers. I definitely wouldn't...

    Christmas Letdown

    Well after a 20 minute phone call with DirecTV, the DVR is up and running! I had them switch it from leased to owned as well, so there won't be any contract extensions per the CSR. :) Of course I then had to spend an hour waiting for v6.2 to download as this was still running 3.1.1e. :eek: Now...

    Christmas Letdown

    Well the new card came today, not via Fedex but via USPS priority mail! There was no signature required, imagine that. I will attempt to activate it later tonight, hopefully there's no further problems. Wish me luck! :)

    Christmas Letdown

    Well I received a card from the guy I bought the receiver from (still sealed in its package) but they wouldn't let me use that one nor the one from the old receiver. I must have gotten the new CSR folks that were just out to make money for the company. :)

    Christmas Letdown

    That sucks! A lot of companies need to completely rethink their customer service centers. Everyone needs to be on the same page because this stuff is nuts. I guess that's another lesson learned, never call customer service on Christmas! You'll get all the ticked off people who were stuck working...

    Christmas Letdown

    See now that makes more sense to me. :) I wasn't really in the mood to hang up and call again on Christmas day. (plus my cell phone needed charged too) That does suck about getting stuck with a 2 year commitment, but oh well. I like the service and programming from DirecTV, so 2 years shouldn't...
