Every year they have one I'll downgrade till I'm gone from D* altogather, Then we'll see if "Somebody up there loves me " . Now, I have Total Choice plus locals...

    Lighten up a bit on DISH

    Doesn't sound like E*'s customer service has gotten any better then when I had their service. Kinda sounds E* is going down the drain completely from listening to what customers and ex-customers are saying. I was one of the early ones to switch back to D* due to E* shanagans, Ole' Charlie better...

    Dish Network Took My $600!

    Emster, Your first mistake was going to Dish, and your second mistake was giving them control over your money. I would NEVER give a company that much authority (power) over me. Never sign up for autopay, being credit card, debit or checking account. If they can't take a check from me each month...

    Rate Increase for DirecTV

    Well, sounds like $85.97 is not enough for D* from me. Two extra recievers+ Total choice plus w/ locals+ HBO, MAX, Starz. I guess I'll have to do a little down grading. Plus the new interactive features will not even work with my current recievers. What incentives is it for me to pay more to...

    Introducing the Directv Mix Channels

    No, I've heard it will only function 100% on the D10 recievers and above. I guess for us all weather freaks as " hdtvtechno" put it, there's always weather.com for local weather. Unless you want to buy a new reciever that supports the new interactive content.

    Introducing the Directv Mix Channels

    The way I understand it the only interactive recievers will be the D10 and up. Us with the old "WINK" interactive rec. will be left in the dark as for interactive content. I thought I remember a little over a year when I purchased my RCA486 that they said it was upgradable, so much for that...

    Dish Overcharge comes clean

    Hardly ever do you see an error in the customer favor, thats so if you don't catch it, thats more free money for them. $1.50 doesn't sound like much, but when you add it up over thousands of customers that don't pay that close attention to their statements, thats more for them.

    Dish Network Sidegrade fee

    Thats how o'l Charlie does it subliminal messaging. I was wondering how he keeps some of his subs. Some can break the spell and get away, Like me and find out the grass is more colorful (not as washed out) on the other side. :p

    If you like PQ it might be time to leave Directv

    Cool I can watch the Showtime ch. Thats the only package I don't subscribe to except for the sports. And not a sports nut. Thanks for the tip LOBO2999. As for PQ on D* I've been pretty satisfied, I don't have HD yet but SD is ok by me at this time. As for E* I've been there and won't be going...

    Auto Custom Channel Lists?

    My RCA is a DRD486RH and it has this ability. I'm not really sure of the mod # on the Hughes that has the ability to set channels you receive to make custom list. Maybe someone else can chime in with that info. Hope that helps a little.
