I just finished my first year of service today, and my new (more expensive) bill comes out tomorrow. I called DirecTv about Free HD access, and after checking I had autopay, they gave it to with no problems. That will certainly help take some of the sting out of this upcoming bill. :)

It was nice of DirecTv to call me yesterday to let me know they screwed up and that my credits had been put back. It was an automated call, but better than nothing. ;)

I had it happen to me today. I signed up in January, and lost all my rebates for July. I did call customer service, and they said it was a problem in the system (so it likely happened to a lot of customers). They assured me it would be corrected soon, though I won't really see the discount...

I tried two times to get the credit, and was denied each time. I signed up in January this year with the Choice HD Xtra + DVR programming. One CSR said I would have to drop that package and one just said that I wasn't eligible at this time. (and I do have autopay) Since I am still have 6...

In a lockout, the owners are not letting anyone play. In a strike, the owners could get replacements again to play.

I looked at my account online, and this is the message I get when trying to remove the free promotion: To remove this premium channel, please call 1-800-531-5000 and ask to remove this channel when prompted.

I had DirecTv installed about 2 weeks ago. I just received a letter from them saying that I will be getting the $100 gift card in about 90 days from the install. It looks like the two requirements are auto-pay and have the service for 60 days.

One thing that is different from cable on-demand and DirecTv on-demand is that the movie gets stored on the DVR for DirecTv. It does expire, but the expiration date is several weeks in the future.

Take away the $10 for Platinum, and it will be. From what I have read, that is going away on Aug. 1.

Those were the names of the old HD packages before the metallic names. Essential was the $10 package and Ultimate was the $20 package.

Dish certainly picked a good time to start showing Peachtree games. I haven't been watching much Braves this year because they haven't been that good, and they have seemed to show more games that I couldn't get than I could. But these last three games have been a lot of fun for Braves fans...

I just saw this info. This is great news! :up I will keep an eye out Tuesday and Wednesday.

All of South Carolina is Braves territory. So it is blacked out for ESPN and TBS games. Tennesse is Braves territory too, so I have the same problem.

It is a pain for satellite users in SEC country. I was disappointed I couldn't watch the SEC baseball tournement because it was on CSS exclusively. I am worried that since Vandy isn't one of the bigger teams in the league, some of their games will drop to this channel.

Correct. It doesn't matter where the game is played. TBS will never show a Reds or Indians game in your area. I am a Braves fan in Nashville, and it still seems weird that I will never see a regular season Braves game on TBS ever again, considering that network is a major reason I became...

My kids still watch it on occassion. I just like looking at the prizes for that timeframe. :D

That was actually a very legit case, and the final damages were undisclosed (much less than $2.9 million). I really hate it when people refer to that case as a frivolous lawsuit, because it was anything but.

The NCAA women's tournament on Dish has one positive and one negative IMO compared to cable. The positive - In many cases, I get two women's games on at the same time. The "national" game is on ESPN2, while the local game in on ESPNA or one of the other alternates. Cable just gets the...

I am that way with my in-laws. They don't have a credit card, so I set up the account for them. They pay me each month (it's a pretty minimal service, so the cost is low). The billing address is mine, but the service address is theirs. The only weird thing was when a new smartcard arrived...

I bought the Linksys kit on the day before my Circuit City closed for $60. I really wasn't sure how well it would work, but it has been really solid and fast. I have my upstairs PC and my Vip622 hooked up to it, and it is so much faster and more reliable than my wireless connection...

I would just take one of your exisiting lines and run it into the 942. The 942 can output to one HD and one SD set, so connect the SD output to the TV that you removed the line from. You still will control the same number of TVs with the same number of lines from the Dish.

Thanks for the info! :)

My parents moved into a new house recently, and cable won't be available for some time. Since I had a good experience with Dish in the past and the deals are pretty good right now, I signed them up for a 942 and 322. The 942 will control the HDTV in the living room and the analog TV in...

An 811 will also let you see the HD satellite channels, such as Discovery and ESPNHD (assuming you buy the HD pack).
