    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    Problem solved - in a backdoor way, but solved nonetheless. They're giving me HD access free for 12 months instead. So at the end of the day, it's an extra $20 for me.

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I did order, this was my second bill. They did not bill me the first month for some reason, but did it for the first two months. When I saw $95.98 billed, I got suspicious and sure enough, they billed me $52.99 for the second month. I e-mailed them, basically nicely calling them liars and...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    Sure enough, they have removed the referral bonus and now I'm stuck paying $52.99/month instead of $42.99/month for the first ten months. What's my best way of getting this resolved? I was specifically promised that both promotions would work simultaneously on the phone and now am being told...

    I ordered about a week ago. Got the HR23. The pricing is in my post above, unless you're looking for something even more specific?

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I think that's what I'm going to do. I just hope my AAA credits don't run out within the first 12 months instead of 24, ya know? By that time it'll be too late to remind them of the $100 referral bonus, I'm sure...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    Ordered a week ago. Called the AAA number and was told that I would get BOTH the AAA discount and a refer-a-friend discount (the latter for 10 months). My friend got an e-mail saying that he would only get $50 instead of $100. Called to rectify that and was told that I am only eligible for AAA...

    New DirecTV installation and Philips TV - remote control not working properly!

    That's the first thing the tech guy and I tried - I don't have an RF antenna on the box. Ordered one yesterday.

    New DirecTV installation and Philips TV - remote control not working properly!

    LOL...remote(s)??? How many have you purchased over the years? Which model did you buy and will it work with my PC as well?

    New DirecTV installation and Philips TV - remote control not working properly!

    I am not sure which box it is, but from what I'm told, all HD DVRs are RF-capable, aren't they? There is an FCC sticker on the back of the remote, so I guess all I need now is an RF antenna?

    New DirecTV installation and Philips TV - remote control not working properly!

    Kinda sucks to have to do that, though. But if I must...which one would be the cheapest RF type? Also, it's been losing signal on HDMI 1 for some reason...bad box?

    New DirecTV installation and Philips TV - remote control not working properly!

    I just got the Philips 42PFL5704D/F7 TV and had DirecTV installed today. Here's the sequence of events so that maybe the culprit could be isolated. 1. TV received as I'm watching cable on my old CRT. Remote works fine. 2. TV installed and set up on a different surface from before (and older...
