    New SiriusXM Channel Lineup October 18th

    Leads me to believe that this was all - over money. Sirius/XM didn't agree to the "rent". That's my guess. Money. One of the two parties appears to be too greedy and no agreement was reached.

    New SiriusXM Channel Lineup October 18th

    There has to be a lot/many who only listen to talk radio. Canceling channel 246 is a big disappointment. Can't understand how SiriusXM did away with channel 246 as there was advertising on that channel. Was the cancellation about money or something else?

    Unactivated Receiver - How Do I Check if it Works?

    The original post was a simple question. Whether the friend got it from someone else is not the question. Direct TV states that it is not stolen. It could have been purchased at Best Buy or maybe it is an owned receiver. My two original non-HD receivers were given to me by Direct TV. My...

    It's an h21-100 receiver. Direct TV customer service did not tell me to return it. All they stated was that it was never activated. Thanks for the tip. I will try channel 1 100 200 and 500.

    DirecTV Self Install?

    Now you make me feel old. I left before the whole bonus thing. I started when bundles were tied out with real twine - long before elastic bands. Each case had a roll of brown twine and a little device called a finger cutter - to cut the twine. And each case had a clip-on ash try. And...

    Vacation Home local questions.

    Not sure if I understand the question. But I have one Snowbird neighbor that takes his receiver with him from the North to the South and then back. One account. So if you lived in New York and went to Florida - but you wanted to keep the New York stations - then just carry the receiver with...
