    Who is your internet provider?

    Jimbo, I am in a AT&T U-Verse neighborhood. I have been aruging with AT&T over a simple $10/month for a year discount they gave me back in March (they offered it, I didn't ask). I've had to call every month to remind them to apply it. I finally gave up yesterday when they said they wouldn't...

    Who is your internet provider?

    UPDATE: I am going to change 'net providers. AT&T will be gone. Comcast 12MB and Unlimited Phone for $45+tax (approx. $50/month) for a year. Yeah, it jacks up substantially in year two (no contract/commitment), but I will save $300 the first year over AT&T's 1.5MB DSL/Phone and get 8x...

    Who is your internet provider?

    I've been debating staying with AT&T DSL and upgrading it, but I've gotten tired of them bombarding me to get their U-Verse TV (around my parts, people have had major issues with TV pixelization, but say the 'net portion of the service rocks).

    Who is your internet provider?

    I've had D* for 7 years and during that time, I've had AT&T's DSL for the internet. Its only 1.5MB, speedwise, and I am finding the need to speed it up (for streaming video, Netflix, eventually upgraded D* equipment, etc.). Do any of you use AT&T DSL at a higher speed? Recommended? Or...

    Sunday Ticket discounts

    I got what appears to be the going discount. $20 off for 6 months ($120). So my bottom line is like some others here... $299.94 - $120 = $179.94 I dropped the NFLST To-Go portion. I am quite happy with it on my HDTV and the price w/discount is cheaper than I've paid in the past.

    Replace H20 with HR2* - Commitment?

    Thank you sir. That was a fast answer. I've got the protection plan, but even if my H20-600 went out, I know it could only be replaced with the same type (No DVR). I appreciate the answer. Unfortunately, that pretty much leaves me staying status quo (and convincing the wife of such) or...

    Replace H20 with HR2* - Commitment?

    I've been with D* for 6+ years. I own my receivers. Lately, my wife has been asking for a DVR to replace the HD box (H20-600) we have. I am sure I know the answer to this, but I've been away from the boards for awhile, so I will ask... If I replace my owned H20-600 with a HR2* DVR...

    Nabbed by the commitment capper!

    If you have the protection plan and you are replacing the bad receiver, then the new one shouldn't invoke the 2-year commitment, should it? If so, what good is the Protection Plan?

    Good deal NFL-ST

    I called and spoke with a nice rep. Bottom line, I took the $20 for 6 month deal. My total for NFLST and SF worked out to be under $250 ($248.94) which was my budget limit.

    Can't get a signal - dish issue?

    The rain just stopped and now I am getting transponder signals again. I bet you are right. I bet the coax is loose up at the LNB. If it starts raining again, even slightly, I bet it loses signal. I'll have to get up on the roof and tighten them up. D* is giving me a service call on Monday...

    Can't get a signal - dish issue?

    Hi all. This morning, we lost signal (on all 3 boxes). The picture pixelated and then broke up and went away. At first, we thought it was the rain as it was coming down pretty hard. However, it lightened up to a light rain and still no picture. I took a look at the transponder signals...

    NFL Sunday Ticket

    I called today and said "Cancel NFL Sunday Ticket". The CSR who answered then directed me to a retention CSR, who could not have been nicer. I explained the $99 SuperFan charge put me over the top, budget-wise, and she said and I quote, "We are running a promotion right now for SuperFan." She...

    NFL Sunday Ticket

    I tried this via e-mail and was told no discount. I'll try and call. I have a feeling I am going to dump the Ticket. I dig it, but the price-point over 3 bills is too much. Enough is enough.

    2008 NFL Sunday Ticket Early Bird

    Jimbo....$269 is the renewal price or so the e-mail to me said. If they don't charge me for SF, I can handle it. If they charge for SF and get the cost over $300, then I most-likely will cancel. Sad, but true. Tough economic times we live in.

    2008 NFL Sunday Ticket Early Bird

    Yes, I am a returning sub. 4 years now. That is the lowest price from what I can tell. $40 increase? Ouch. I think this may be it for me with NFLST. That is a big hike. Now, if charper1's **rumor** came true and SF was included, I could handle it. No way, I am paying $269 and another...

    2008 NFL Sunday Ticket Early Bird

    I got the e-mail today regarding NFLST Early Bird pricing: "Order NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ for 5 payments of $53.80 and save $20 off the regular-season price. Offer ends 7/31." $269 (edit: It was $45.80/month/5 months = $229 last year). It went up $40. No word on how much SuperFan will be.

    Tivo w/one coax?

    Hopefully this is not a dumb question...I want to get a HR21. I also have an older Tivo (RCA DVR40). I'd like to keep that as well. The problem? I have only 3 coax wires coming into the house -- 2 to the Tivo and one to an H20. At this time its not feasible to run another coax in as the...

    Yep. HD feed from D* and the OTA feed from WDIV both hosed/pixelating. Must be WDIV's fault. SD is fine, which is too bad as the HD feed was awesome.

    Coax Run Question

    Thanks, Bob. It definetely appears that I will have to do some coax run configuration to make this work, or just leave the H20 and try and convince my wife to dump the RCA DVR40-Tivo and get an HDTV and an HR21 in the basement. That would solve everything without me needing to re-wire and/or...
