    Cable problem This issue is most commonly seen when you have a cable problem. IE- the cable is cut/worn/broken in some spot. When you moved the cables to re-do your floor it was the last straw. You might try replacing the cable from the multi-switch up to the receiver. If you are having a...

    HD "movers" beware

    No. No HD-DVR is currently available for swap. We won't swap a DVR for a non DVR.... well, the offer is actually available to do so, but I certainly wouldn't. Let me put it this way, HD-DVRs will not be sent a replacement for that receiver until the new HR20-250 is available.

    A few questions regarding new lease program for current subscribers

    That is not applicable to new customers. Sorry I didn't mention that. ALL new customers are required to follow lease program t&c. You can not activate an account with a used receiver.

    Is it OK to LIE?

    Are you sure? You are having bills printed and sent via that US postal service with an incorrect physical address, thus violating sections 1341 and 1342. You are depriving the local station of funds. They are paying to broadcast a signal which they claim that you can pick up. DirecTv is...
