    Are Pedestal Indoor HD Antenna's any good and will they solve my reception issue

    I watch the main network broadcast channels thru Directv but I have a Local Channel Connector (LCC) that allows me to watch the "extra" channels that the local stations broadcast over the air like ME.TV, etc. When i first got the LCC I was told that I could save money by taking an old piece of...

    Thinking about switching back to Dish. Need Info

    Probably doesn't help that AT&T that owns Directv also owns HBO. Perhaps that was a tactic AT&T thought might increase subscribers on DirectV? To be quite honest I'm wondering if any of the premium channels are worth it anymore. It use to be that HBO was where you could watch boxing or a new...

    Thinking about switching back to Dish. Need Info

    My goal was to get an update on Dish. I had dish from 1990 thru 2015 and I was happy with the package I had and the quality but they just kept raising the rates and Directv was offering a package at a 2 year discount that was far less than I was paying for Dish and they also had a $200 signup...

    Thinking about switching back to Dish. Need Info

    I had Dish for years and then they honked me off by jacking up the price and I switched to Directv and I've been satisfied with them but from what I read, AT&T is trying to dump Directv and Uncle Sam says that Dish can't buy them so I'm thinking about switching before the ship sinks. At the...

    Local Channel Question

    Thanks for the information. I think I'll be good to go once the package from AT&T arrives. I rigged up an antenna made out of an old piece of TV cable that I had plugged in the TV but this sounds better. The antenna worked great but I had to us the TV remote control to switch the...

    Local Channel Question

    Yes, I called AT&T yesterday and they said they would ship what I need. Not up on what an LCC is. Can you explain? I was just only going to connect an antenna to my TV but this person I spoke with said what AT&T was sending out was better because it works with your receiver somehow.

    Local Channel Question

    CBS and NBC are blacked out right now in our area. Some told me that AT&T was providing customers with a free over the air antena and someone else said the antenna connects to your receiver and will allow you to view local channels on all of your TV sets in your home. Can anyone explain how...

    Need a Dish Feature Refresher. Please Help!

    Thanks for the feedback. If it were me I would cancel DirecTV and switch to streaming but I can't have an outside antenna in my neighborhood and I can't find a streaming service that has NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and CW. They have some but not all so I'm screwed unless I want to switch from DirecTV...

    Need a Dish Feature Refresher. Please Help!

    I had Dish for many years and gave up and switched to DirecTV about 3 years ago out of frustration with the price of service. Now that my discounted priced from DirecTV has lapsed I wanted to check back to find out what if anything has changed with the idea that I might switch back. Here are a...

    Is my DirecTV HR44-700 receiver going bad?

    Hi, I have a DirecTV HR44-700 HD DVR and I'm wondering if this receiver is going bad and I need to get it replaced? My problem deals with the availability of on demand shows via the DirecTV Guide. When I go to the guide for an on demand channel like NBC, ABC or even premium channels like...
