I just called and asked the CSR if there were any promotions on HBO at this time. She said they just started an unadvertised promo from there "best customers" They are offering any Movie Channel for $10.00 off for six months. So I took HBO for $3.00 a month for six months... just wanted to...

I logged on to D's website today and now in my account says this: 03/07/2007 xxxxxxxx9966 Network: ABC HD $0.00 $0.00 03/07/2007 xxxxxxxx0000 Network: FOX HD $0.00 $0.00 So now I have all of the "Networks' listed in HD, even though I don't subscribe to HD ... and have Networks also listed...

Hey got you to read the thread! Any ideas? I just called was told by a CSR that maybe D* was adding HD locals to my area...told her I didn't think so as I am in the 170's for DMA, she didn't know what a DMA was...:eek:

Just checked View Activity Since Last Bill, shows this: 03/06/2007 xxxxxxxx9996 Network: NBC HD $0.00 $0.00 03/02/2007 xxxxxxxx0000 Network: CBS HD $0.00 $0.00

Seems like that is very true...

Called back today, CSR said even though the D* website said I was Eligible for the Distant CW, I still needed a waiver, I knew this was wrong....so I called back again, got a nice lady who checked my address and had the CW turned on in under 5 minutes. strange!

I just called D* and asked to add 385 CW to my distant locals. The CSR said I needed a waiver, could take 45 days... Then he asked if I had a working roof mounedt antenna, then asked why I received Distants..told him due to mountains I am unable to recieve signal.. are these normal questions...

Well I guess it's better then nothing, they could just make everyone change.. Looks like I better change programing now...I always get SportsPak for baseball and HBO for The Sopranos...

So this is the way I understand the new structure.. Activating new HD equipment (even if it is replacing another piece of HD equipment - such as replacing an HR10-250 or an H20 with an HR20), will bump you into the new pricing structure. So would changing packages or adding/changing Premium...

Does anyone have any idea how long D* will allow us to use the "old packages" ? I am sure there must be a set time frame....Just thinking, I wonder how adding the Sports Pak or HBO in say March would affect ones "old package" status?

Sounds like Choice (old TC) is losing 15 channels.. seems like that is the biggest change..must be to get more people to upgrade to Extra (old TC+)...

More from the another forum, (hope not to offend anyone here by posting quotes from another forum): "today when i went to directv.com and logged into my account i was presented an offer called choice extra(54.99), when i declined it, i was taken to a page to change my programming and it...

Where you able to go back to TC or did you have to call? If you called what did the CSR say?

This was posted today on another forum by a "mainbank/cis/tech tier1 soon to be tier 2 serving Directv customers since 2002" not sure if he is on the up and up... "The "old" packages will be retired soon, but only for new customers who sign up after a certain date, and if exsisting customers...
