    NBC Video Stuttering with Genie

    Would anyone have any clue on when or if this will be fixed? I will report back in the next couple of days after I watch Hannibal and a couple other shows from NBC to see if the issue still persists.

    NBC Video Stuttering with Genie

    Still having issues with NBC. I was watching The Blacklist that I recorded and it was probably the worse I have seen yet. Hope this issue gets resolved very soon.

    NBC Video Stuttering with Genie

    The OTA feed seems to be fine. I have yet to check the actual live feed from DirecTV so that will be another test I will eyeball. Before posting the thread I did research the forum as well a Google search and did come up with multiple results for NBC issues, but this was primarily with people...

    NBC Video Stuttering with Genie

    I rarely have any technical issues with DirecTV, but after upgrading to the Genie (HR-44) a couple of weeks ago I am noticing some rather odd behavior from recordings on NBC. This would be NBC Chicago (channel 5). There is some stuttering and slight hesitation with the video, but the audio is...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Our bill too was $116. Its very strange. They told us we will be getting a credit in July, which doesn't make sense. What about June!?! Guess I will have to see how this thing plays out.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    They sure do have a weird way of billing you. I don't have the bill on me at the moment, but Starz and Showtime was listed on the bill at least 3 times. It was listed as a charge, then a credit, then another charge/credit and its just way too confusing to figure out. Is it necessary to actually...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    For whatever reason DirecTV started charging me for the Showtime and Starz for this whole deal. I will have to call them up and ask them why because I should not be getting billed for it considering I have Starz + Showtime free for the 3 months. After that its a continuation of the regular...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Yeah, I always find negatives. I am just really weary of a lot of stuff. Hopefully I can get the Sunday Ticket deal. Last year they gave us like $25 off a month on it which reduced the price quite a bit.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    I wonder by getting this deal if it will screw me over for Sunday Ticket. I signed up with DirecTV when they had the NFL and Premiere promo. Last year I also got a nice deal on ST. Since I got this MLB deal, I'm afraid they won't want to give me a deal on ST this year. Yikes!

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Yes indeed. Websites like these are awesome. I have probably saved thousands over the years just from websites like this.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Wow! This is awesome if this is really happening. Thanks to everyone here (especially the thread starter) for mentioning this deal. If I knew any of you in person I would buy you a beer.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Whoa! I went on the DirecTV website and logged into my account. I went under Account Overview and to 'Recent Activity'. It shows something with MLB. This is what it shows exactly. 04/12/2010 XXXXXXXX**** STARZ and SHOWTIME - 3MoPick2/OBTMLB ($24.00) $0.00 04/12/2010 XXXXXXXX**** CHOICE...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    I just called and no luck. They said this promotion is for outbound calls only. To me, something is shady here because its pretty obvious from reading this thread that this deal is not only outbound calls since many people here have called in to get this deal. Its just kind of unclear who can...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    Cool and thanks. I will give them a call tomorrow and see if I can somehow get this deal. Its definitely worth a shot. If I don't get the deal then its not the end of the world I guess.

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    talljoe, sorry if you got the impression that you thought that I thought you were lying. I didn't think that at all. I just want to know all the information beforehand so I can call and get the deal. I am afraid of them messing up my bill somehow. I will go ahead and call and see if they can...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    So all you do is call up and ask for this deal and if you get lucky and talk to the right person they will do this for you? I can see this with new customers, but what about current customers who have been with them almost 2 years? If I did this, can someone give me a ball park estimate on how...

    Unbelievable MLB Package Deal

    How does all this work? If I can somehow call up and get this deal, I would. I have 1 HD DVR, and 2 standard set top boxes. Our current package is Choice Xtra. Were paying around $100 a month for everything (package, HD, DVR, and 2 other set top boxes). If we called up and wanted to get this...

    Free Previews March 2010: NHL 3/2-8 & Showtime 3/25-28

    This has probably been asked before and I should already know, but I have never tried it. When they give us Showtime free for those few days, can we download stuff from On Demand such as as Dexter and watch it after the 25th-28th if we have them downloaded to the DVR from On Demand? If this is...

    Showtime & Starz - 2 for 1 (3 mos.) $39 + $50 in Rebates = Make $11

    This almost seems too good to be true, but it looks 100% legit from DirecTV's site. Is there any fees if you cancel before the 3 months is up?

    Good deal NFL-ST

    We just called today. Got our bill in the mail and the notification for ST renewal was on the bill. So, we called up DirecTV and said its too much money and we can't do it this year to see what kind of deal we would get. Last year we went with that big promotion they had where you get Premiere...

    BET HD now live

    I am done trying to figure out companies. I have been reading this forum for a long time now. I have seen a ton of requests for HD channels that people want. Some of the most requested channels have been Travel Channel HD (probably the most requested one), ESPNU HD and more premiums in HD. I...

    ESPNU HD Coming in 2010 & Moving to Choice

    Had no idea this was posted. already. When I found the article I checked the first page of threads and didn't see this posted. I usually check sites such as Engadget for news like this everyday and today was the first time I seen it posted anywhere. My bad.

    ESPNU HD Coming in 2010 & Moving to Choice

    I just read an article on DirecTV adding ESPNU HD in the first quarter of 2010 and it will be moved to the Choice package. Source - In Classic Switch, ESPNU Graduates On Comcast, DirecTV - 2009-05-25 04:16:00 | Multichannel News

    Comedy Central in True HD

    I actually did catch something in HD the other day. It was Beer Fest. I recorded Super Troopers, but it wasn't in HD. There is absolutely no way to tell on the DirecTV guide what is going to be HD and what isn't going to be HD. I wish they would update their guide. Hopefully they will do that soon.

    Comedy Central in True HD

    How will we know if a movie we want to record on Comedy Central will be in HD? The guide doesn't show HD next to the shows when I am scrolling through the guide whereas other channels do. I went throughb about 4 days and didn't see the HD logo. I notice that this happens often when new channels...
