Their billing method negates all the credit they got with this deal. My bill almost doubled to $ 116.23. They billed me for choice xtra, starz and showtime and then credited for them. Its good so far, but then they are hitting me with partial monthly charge for everything (choice xtra, start...

Thanks for the info guys, just called and got this. Took 2 minutes tops.

the HD quality seems to be a little bit soft and blurry when compared to the tennis channel

Thanks guys, I was able to add the HD Extra pack free for 3 months.

hi, i have choice extra plus hd dvr(local included) package. I think the hd access fee is bundled with the package fee, I don't see any separate entry for that on the bill. Am i right in assuming that? The reason was i want to add hd extra pack, it says free for 3 months but it also says hd...

Hi, Just wondering whether direct tv has any perks for signing up for auto pay and paperless billing? Like Dish has cinemax for a penny deal. Thanks.

Well, the installation over the weekend went very well. The installer and his super. were there, they both were very courteous and helpful. At first they didn't had the pole, they got one from their warehouse and did the mounting. Then had some problem with the receiver(HR22) and the...

Thanks guys, lets see how the installation goes tomorrow. This is a second floor apartment, so no digging involved. Also the dish pole is in my previous apartment (withing the same apartment complex). Couldn't get a local retailer in my area. So that option is out.

thanks guys, will look for a local retailer

therein lies the rub. 'equipment' is a fancy word. All they needed was a pole and a couple of clamps to secure the pole to the balcony. I even suggested that they could take it from my previous apartment ( it is in the same apartment complex)

For those who shared info, thank you very much. others, just shut-up and go on your way, nobody asked for your wise-cracks. the whole point of the forum is to share information, not just to type something and increase your post counts.

Just cancelled dish network and considering direct tv. Used to have vip722 from dish. Is there a comparable DVR in direct tv? do we get a choice? Also is there any other particular things I should specifically ask them about? How much is the contract period? How fast will the installation...

Just Cancelled my Dish Network service!!! Have been a customer for the past two and a half years. Lot of billing discrepancies lately. Recently moved to a new apartment, had to re-schedule a couple of times as they didn't put in the correct requirement and so the tech showed up with no proper...
