    Possible line of sight issues?

    I've been a DirecTV customer since early 2009 and recently started having issues with my signal. It would seemingly randomly go out (although it usually wasn't for long periods of time) Sometimes if I played around with the SWM cable on the multi switch and unplugged it and plugged it back in...

    Why do things sometimes not record, even when set up to?

    It doesn't happen often, but when it does... man is it ever annoying. My A's win over The Mariners Thursday afternoon was supposed to record on MLB Extra Innings... was looking forward to watching it when I got off work and it wasn't there. I know it was set up to record, because I've...

    Should I look into realignment?

    Long story short I've been a DirecTv customer since early last year. Up until recently I've had a strong signal almost all the time and minimal problems after the install. Not sure if it's really relevant, but it's a swm installation Recently however I've started to just randomly lose...

    How long do you need ethernet hooked up to order pay per view?

    Also how long does it need to be hooked up, before you can get the 'pay' on demand programs? I ask because I'm soon going to get a router so I can have my computer, XBox 360 and my HR22 all connected at once. I've unhooked my computer a couple of times... so I could connect to the HR22 and...

    Why does my DVR consistently not record?

    It didn't record tonight's Oakland A's game. This is about the sixth or seventh game over the last month and a half, that simply did not record. I always set the week's games in advance... they all show up in the "to do list" and with baseball being by far my favorite sports... I make...

    Maybe one of you can help...

    I'm mostly wondering if the following could be some sort of glitch. Ok twice this week something I set up to record, never started recording. I set up all my week's Oakland A's games to record in advance and a few days ok... the game simply never started recording, there were no conflicts...

    How quick is DirecTv to turn off service? (IE unintended late payment)

    My payment's going to be late this month, I don't want it to be... but quite honestly I have no real choice in the matter. I've recently had to take an unexpected hour cut and pay cut at work and have been struggling to get my bills and rent paid.. while still being able to eat. This is no...

    Any word on locals being added to new markets?

    I'm not talking about adding hd versions of locals to existing markets, I'm talking about adding 'any' form of locals to the few remaining markets that don't have locals at all. I always hear about hd locals being added to various markets and while I understand why that would be a priority...

    Stupid AM21 question

    I feel like an idiot... but I can't seem to get any channels with my am21. We got it hooked up today and have the antenna hooked up as well, but no new channels are showing up. I figured that resetting the reciever after hooking both the tuner and the reciever would be sufficient.. but not...

    Finally up and running!

    Well that was quite an ordeal, but I'm finally in business. I got a competent installer finally... even got the general manager of this installation company and I got installed. Even tonight it was a challenge.... only the direct sales department could find my account and no one else could...

    Is it safe to assume my installer's not coming?

    It was supposed to be at around 10:00 AM... it's now 3:42 PM. At around 12:30 I got an automated voice mail stating that the installer would call me 30 minutes before arriving... that made me think they might show up after all.. but as 4:00 PM a full six hours after the scheduled installation...

    Any one have experience with DBS waivers

    Last question I promise, but seeing how our local CW is apparently Cable Only and to not have to pay for both Direct TV and Cable a waiver form would have to be used, was simply wondering if any of you have ever had to use one and how long and tenuous of a process it was. My older sister's...

    As of Monday, I am now a Direct subscriber

    My installation is set for early Monday. I've not used Direct TV for years, when I was still living at home my dad had it around a decade ago but eventually switched to Dish Network because of the lack of local channels via Direct TV in our area.... The locals still aren't available in Joplin...

    Direct questions for those that have it

    Hoping somebody can help me here. First the less important one... my locals are currently available via Dish Network, but not via Direct TV. I know that Dish is currently in the process of expanding their locals selections in a big way (my locals are supposed to be in HD this Summer)...

    Favorite live band:

    I've seen many that I really like.... one stands out as my personal favorite however and that's Fishbone. They have long been regarded as one of the better live acts out there and for good reason. I saw them in around 94 or so.... 97... and most recently last November 23rd. The lineups have...

    Favorite beer is?

    Topic says it all... I'm personally a huge fan of a well made beer. My favorites tend to go in cycles.. though at this moment in time if I could only have one beer... it would likely be La Fin Du Monde.... next week I would likely choose something else. Other favorites: Duvel Orval Rodenbach...

    MLB/NFL packages.. any chance they might come back?

    Obviously they aren't going to be back anytime soon, but when upgrading to HD programming I pitted two things against one another: My love for sports (Baseball being my favorite by far.. football a distant second) vs My love for Horror... and the fact that I watched Monsters HD at my sisters...
