    Some of "Sports Pack" open

    I subscribe to the MLB, NHL, and NBA packages. I had the Sports Pack for a little bit, but cancelled it. I've recently noticed that outside of the live sports programming on the RSN channels (in the 600s...not the ones mirrored by sports in the 700s), not counting replays, I'm getting the...

    Gift card broken promise

    Anyone have any issues with a promised gift card? I called on September 8 and threatened to cancel b/c of the loss of NFL Sunday Ticket - they offered me a $200 gift card. I called back today to find out what might have happened, and they have absolutely no record of it. Anyone ever run into this?

    Moving equipment between rooms

    Hello! Quick question... In my living room I have an C61K-700. In my basement, I have an HR54-700. The basement TV is nearly 3 years newer with a better picture on it, but the living room TV has the 4K box. If I would want to switch the boxes around, is it as simple as just disconnecting them...

    NHL Center Ice at heavy discount

    Not sure if this is a bug or not in the system, or if it's only tailored for certain users, but NHL Center Ice is showing available to add on my account for a VERY good price. I called in and while they didn't show it, they honored the price.

    Scam call?

    Just wondering if anyone's gotten these........I recently downgraded my package from the Ultimate all the way down to the Select....Got a call today from a 973-846-4173 number, identifying themselves as DirecTV, offering 13 channels of free Showtime. When asked how long, "as long as you would...

    Moving question/4K (ACTUAL moving)

    Not the "moving" to get other locals... I am moving from an apartment into a house, and I plan to get 4K at the new location. Apparently (and hopefully this is true), a 4K box is free if I add 2 more receivers (I just have one receiver now at my studio apartment). That's according to the...

    This is why I never had any type of billing job...

    ..am I missing a simple concept here? Back in December, I received a "one time $20 credit" on my account. The $20 appeared as a balance to start my January bill. No big deal. So in January I went to the online chat and asked if there could be any discount on the $25 receiver fee (since my...

    Thinking of "moving" but DirecTV doesn't like address

    Unless things have changed with the Signficantly Viewed channels in the area, I was debating "moving" to Dorchester County, MD (I have a friend who lives there). The locals are Salisbury, but there are some significantly viewed channels for Baltimore showing up too. Only issue - in checking for...

    Replacement equipment for bad HDMI?

    So my HDMI on my HR44 has not worked for months. I use the component video and the picture is still awesome. However, here's where it gets interesting - if I use the coax cable input on my TV (for antenna in), there is interference and lines on my DirecTV picture - just enough that I can see the...

    Negotiating power?

    So my "2 years" will end on December 26 and I will be out-of-contract. I have no interest of switching to anything else, but what kind of deals are offered to a customer who is out-of-contract to get them to stay? I currently have Premier with all of the premium channels and sports pack...

    NYC Locals question

    Even though I live in Harrisburg, I "moved" to NY just to get the locals as there are a ton of them. One station I don't get is WEDW-49, the Connecticut PBS station. It just does a signal search on that channel and I just wonder why. Is it on a different satellite than the rest of the NYC...

    Neighboring Local Channels

    Not sure how I came across it (I think it was on here!), but I found out that in Dorchester County, MD, DirecTV offers Salisbury, WCAU from the Philly market, and all of the Baltimore stations. I currently "live" in the NYC market. Is there anywhere that DirecTV offers a mix of NYC and Philly...

    Odd HR34/700 issue with no picture or sound

    This seems to happen fairly infrequently but seemed to happen more today... When I turn on my TV and my receiver, there is no picture or sound. I can go through the guide and the channel banner is there but there's no picture or sound. If I flip back and forth between channels, it sometimes...

    Genie "stuttering" issue

    It's happened now with a few shows I've recorded, where the recording will pixelate and almost get "stuck" - that's the best way I can describe it. Sometimes it fixes itself on its own after about 10 seconds and sometimes I have to try and fast forward as well, which works after a few tries. Has...

    NHL and MLB question

    Was thinking about getting the Center Ice and Extra Innings packages....I had gotten the MLB.TV package last year for my phone and PS3 and other devices. Call me weird but I really like watching the out-of-town commercials too..MLB.TV simply had a slide they put up in lieu of the commercials...

    "Moving" questions

    Hello! I'm a "new" DirecTV customer (I've had the service previously a few times)..When I had it back in 2006, I "moved" a few times while I had the service. Primarily at the time it was because D* didn't offer my locals in HD (they now do), but I really enjoy getting the out-of-market locals...
