Thanks, navychop...that's an important point to consider. Assuming I have LOS, how does the DirecTV moving program work? Do I keep my contract as it exists, or does it restart the two-year term and require new equipment, installation, etc?

I'm thinking about re-subscribing to DirecTV (we canceled service about 8 months ago), but we're also in the midst of a house hunt that might constitute our moving within the next 3-6 months. I know there's some sort of moving program with DirecTV, but I don't know how it works. Could...

I wonder if ClickClocks is asking something similar to what I was curious to know in a thread above this... What are the "out the door" totals for a DirecTV subscription. They show you the discounted price for the programming package in big letters, but then the small print talks about HD...

I had been a DirecTV customer for four years, but I tired of having to call in and negotiate discounts every 6-12 months when the prices would creep up. Finally, I decided to cut the cord and go with a Roku device and an OTA antenna. This works well for most things, but as a die-hard college...

After spending 3+ hours on the phone Saturday and asking to have this issue escalated, I had a message on my machine Sunday afternoon (while I was at church). I called Direc* back this morning, a representative reviewed my notes and heard me tell my story one more time, and then he issued me...

I was told the referral program was $50 per person (new subscriber/referring subscriber). I also read in several posts here that the referral program won't stack with the AAA discount. I'm not sure though.

I just got my Direc* system installed on Friday. I have 2 HD/DVRs and 1 standard DVR in my house along with a SWM Slimline dish and the SWM5 switch box outside. The installation was free, and I guess everything is automatically covered for the first 30 days in case there are any problems...

I'm concerned about the $10/month AAA discount not showing up yet. I got the name and badge number of the last person who told me it would show up in 2 cycles. Another lesson I learned through all of this is that the "notes" that are kept on your account don't record the person's name who you...

As a reply to the person asking about the SWM installation: I was told that SWM installations were standard for people requesting 5-8 receivers. I thought this was silly since it seems like very few people would have 5-8 TVs in the house. The installer explained that it refers to 5-8 "lines"...

After 2.5 hours on the phone with four different representatives, here's the "final" outcome: My AAA Membership discount is on the account and will begin showing up in 2-3 billing cycles. (Not happy about that, but I can deal with it.) I was given the $20 credit on my account for the MLB...

I just got resolution on the AAA membership discount. I'm being told that it won't show up until the third billing cycle. :mad: Has anyone else had this happen? Can you confirm that it will eventually show up? My on-line rebates for the national offer are also not showing up, and I'm told...

I finally bit the bullet at Direc* and went with it over cable. I worked out the following deal: Choice Extra w/ HD-DVR ($54.99 after rebate) AAA Membership (free Standard DVR upgrade & $10 off each month) Free HD Programming ($10 off per month) My install should have been a HD/DVR in the...

Unfortunately, they don't build houses in Vegas like they do back east. We do not have a basement, and we live in a single-story house with vaulted ceilings throughout the house. It's nearly impossible to access much of the crawlspace (since it's all vaulted), and there are no basements to use...

Thanks for the info, Jimbo. I don't mind having the dish installed on the side of the house (they don't put them on roofs here in Vegas with the ceramic tile roofs), I just didn't want them to run RG-6 cable along the sides of the house and then drill holes into each room where the receivers...

I'm having three DVRs installed (2 HD-DVRs, 1 standard DVR), so I'll hope the installer goes with the SWM. I know this is probably a simple question, but how can I tell if the coax I have is RG6 or RG59 (assuming I can't pull out the cable from the wall and look at the imprint on the side of it)?

I'm not sure if it's RG59. Does the satellite TV require a higher-quality cable? Is that why they usually drill holes in walls instead of using existing coax? I was told the SWM was used for 5+ receiver installations, but I had them note that I wanted the SWM. Do you know if the SWM will...

I'm on the phone with them now...here's what I'm getting with the AAA code and the Choice Extra HD-DVR plan: $10 credit for 24 mos. 2nd HD-DVR for $99 (instead of $199) Free Delivery and Installation 1 Free year of Showtime 3 Free months of other movie channels I was not able to get a $50...

Thank you for the information. If I will have 2 HD-DVR receivers and a third standard DVR receiver, would that likely qualify for the SWM installation? Is this something that would likely be included in the install, or would I need to request it specifically (and pay extra for it)? As for the...

I apologize for being such a novice in the area, but I'm considering a switch from Cox Cable to DirecTV. I've never had satellite TV before, but I'm finding that DirecTV can offer better programming for cheaper rates (I did see the AAA thread...will definitely use that). One major hangup I've...
