    Directv.com Security Warning

    In the source code of the home page and the DirecTV packages subpage on directv.com there is a Google AdService ad trying to load and there is the "netcheckcdn[dot]xyz" domain for some ungodly reason. Each time the directv.com webpage loads Symantic Endpoint, Norton and Malwarebytes (and...

    Directv.com Security Warning

    I usually manage my account from my iPhone but I went to their website for the first time today on my desktop and got this from Norton LifeLock (from my understanding even though Symantec Endpoint Protection and Norton LifeLock are now separated it appears they still share some things when it...

    HBO Max details finally confirmed *March 2020*

    So thanks to the Corona I've been at home watching more non-streaming TV and noticed a new ad from AT&T featuring a humanoid blob creature. Usually I ignore AT&T's inserted ads but decided to pay attention to this one (mainly because the lil blue dude was on a sofa with pizza and popcorn lol.)...

    Price increase and cancellation of services for free.

    Dish probably has scenarios where customers are not under any kind of price guarantee but under a 24 month contract in this case Wisconsin law would prevail and they have to waive the ECF under Wisconsin law for a reasonable period of time. There could be a thing in Wisconsin law that allows...

    2020 Price Increase for DirecTV & U-Verse TV

    The must-carry law has been in existence since 1972 for cable companies and only applies to full power local stations. When the FCC opened up the options of the locals in 1992 they have to either elect "must-carry" status (and forgo any compensation) or request compensation (retransmission...

    2020 Price Increase for DirecTV & U-Verse TV

    I just checked the AT&T article where they post the yearly price updates and they have updated the page for 2020. I'm guessing bill notifications will go out soon. The RSN Fee Tool has not been updated with the new prices yet so its not worth calling customer care until bill notices or the RSN...

    Sports Pack with Preferred Xtra?

    You can add the Sports Pack to any base package even Family and Preferred Xtra and will get all the Sports Pack channels without the RSN fee including your in market RSN channels. On a side note, my mother has had Preferred Xtra since she signed on with D* in 2015 because she didn't want...

    Nexstar Info

    For that DMA I wouldn't place all the blame on the death star the hopper *cough* Dish *cough* is also partly to blame with their Meredith dispute so the local cable provider is really the only one that has all the locals in that area at this point. I still get a kick out of Meredith's WALA's...

    No Fox Sports on Dish, so thinking about switching. Have questions though.

    Thanks! I forgot to mention that lol If you have one of their metered data plans (like grandfathered Mobile Share Value/Advantage/Flex or the current Mobile Share Plus) streaming thru the DTV app / AT&T TV app doesn't count towards your data. If you have any of the Unlimited plans like Unlimited...

    No Fox Sports on Dish, so thinking about switching. Have questions though.

    I think some of these may have been answered but after reading your post some here are some of the things I noticed The LCC (Local Channel Connector) is only available to customers that are affected by an active dispute however as your local CBS affiliate is owned by Nexstar you qualify! If you...

    The Future of DirecTV, DirecTV Now, Uverse TV & HBO

    I think the death of DirecTV is premature even for AT&T's standards. Based on what they are doing it looks like they are trying to have an entertainment product that fits in with every category/customer. DirecTV is just a product of this strategy. Premium/Traditional TV - This will be their...

    here we go again, DirecTv/AT&T about to enter yet another local channel dispute, this time, with CBS

    That area sucks to be in as it is affected by the DirecTV-Nexstar dispute as well. While DirecTV & Dish will present a united front in saying switching providers is not the answer Meredith's WALA is advising Dish subs to switch to DirecTV while Nexstar's WKRG is advising DirecTV subs to switch...

    Epix On Demand is now available on channel 1558 The Vault is included :) Still no access to Epix.com / Epix app although I was able to email Epix Customer Support about a month or so ago shortly after Epix launched, asked about when D* would be available and mentioned I subscribed to Epix...

    Major channel changes in May 2019 - All AT&T Video Services

    I checked my mother's TV today while I was visiting she has Preferred Xtra as well and still has Nick Jr. You may need to call customer care to have them fix it best option is to speak with loyalty.
