    Disney/ESPN & DIRECTV Reach Deal

    I tried calling and was told they couldn't get the system to work because it was getting an update. That was after a five minute hold. They certainly aren't making this easy.

    Disney/ESPN & DIRECTV Reach Deal

    Should update to include most (if not all) ABC affiliates on DirecTV Stream.

    Disney/ESPN & DIRECTV Reach Deal

    To be clear on ABC, if you have satellite and are not in an O&O market, you still get ABC. If you are on stream, the rights for ABC are negotiated at ABC for all affiliates. Same for Fox, NBC and CBS. Stream gets affected when network owners are in a dispute.

    DTV Stream

    Should also note there is a 2 year commitment when signing up at DirecTV.com. There are no commitments from streamtv.directv.com.

    2023 price increases

    Cheaper than cable for Stream (when considering the extra fees attached to cable), and RSNs are only available on DirecTV Stream, so going nowhere.

    Pairing wireless headsets to streaming devices

    I was playing around with my DirecTV Stream box and recalled I had seen bluetooth options. I just bought a pair of BOSE Quiet Comfort earphones and put 2 and 2 together. I've come to realize that I can pair my headphones to DirecTV Stream and listen to TV in bed while my wife sleeps. So...

    AT&T disappointed with offers for struggling DirecTV

    Not even close. Spectrum and Charter rarely compete in the same cities. The customer's choice is usually cable (spectrum, charter, cox etc..) or DirecTV or Dish or a streaming service. DirecTV and Dish separate themselves on content and pricing, but they are DIRECT competitors.

    Randall Stephenson "retiring"

    As long as you're happy...I guess.... Through his leadership, AT&T has been one of the most consumer-unfriendly companies in the US. Why people continue to give them money is beyond me. The sham they pulled on wireless users with "unlimited" data in the early days of wireless internet is an...

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/24/investing/att-randall-stephenson-retire-john-stankey-ceo/index.html Finally, AT&T may see the turn-around they need. Can't wait to hear John Oliver comment.

    price hike and no relief for a customer fo almost 10 years

    No. But first time electric customers and first time tax payers don't get a one year introductory price break either.

    Install I’m working on at a hotel

    I'm so impressed with guys who can make wiring look so clean. I have 1 coax on the side of my house that I thought was straight. Looks awful, but I know if I try again, it will look the same. Most can't see it unless they look for it, so I'm OK. Wish I could learn how to make it look right...

    OUT OF HOME DVR

    I wonder how much of this has to do with a single company being both the content owner and the content distributor.

    Opinion, please!

    I second the powerline option. It worked well for me for years. Another, more expensive option is to install mesh wireless such as Velop. I have a couple in my house and have unbelievable coverage.

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I remember when Premier bumped past $100. Guess I'm getting to be like my mom who talked about getting a candy and a pop for $.10.

    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    I felt the audio was quite poor for a company that does communication and video for a living. Couldn't the guy have had a mic that didn't rub against his clothing and be located a little closer to his mouth. Poor quality.

    DTV for Business - Can't place new order

    . No. I was contacting DirecTV for business. They gave me four other numbers to try and none could get through to the order desk. Finally got through the following day.

    DTV for Business - Can't place new order

    Been trying for 6 hours to order new service. Each time, I'm told to call back in greater increments of time. At 8 AM, call back in 30 minutes. At 9 AM, call back in 90 minutes. at 11 AM, call back in 2 hours. At 3:15, call back in 24 hours. This is so typical of any ATT business. Wish my...

    DIRECTV NOW Launching in November!

    If only AT&T could convince some ISPs to invest in their infrastructure so that 12 MBPS would be achievable and affordable. And those caps that ISPs are putting out there will also be a hindrance. Oh wait..AT&T is the ISP I'm referring to.

    Goodbye GenieGo

    ..and good riddance. The POS failed me more times than it worked. This was the beginning of the end for me with DirecTV. Offloading from my Tivos works tremendously well.

    Customer Service HORRIBLE

    ...they didn't answer the phone in that manner when I had service with them last year. It was not until after the merger that they answered the phones that way. Why would they answer the phones ATT/D* when ATT didn't have any controlling interest until AFTER the merger. But then again...who...
