    Stonecold is a bias jerk!

    Sometimes, in my hurry to respond to a post I am not as careful with my spelling as I would like. I use a program called ieSpell. This program lets you spell check you posts in a forum. Lifesaver for me. Just an FYI

    Have Dish-want direct-Dish want fee to remove dish

    I should clarify my previous post. Directv installer removed dish but left mounting bracket. Damage to roof was therefore mitigated.

    Free HD for Life New Customer Promo starting 6/5

    "Free HD" does NOT mean you are getting the HDNET pack free. It means that you don't have to pay the HD access fee, which is a separate deal. I have two HD DVRs and I got the $10 credit for 2 years, but I don't have the HDNET package which would cost me $5 per month.

    Simple question, I think

    double play is a way to activate a double buffer. You can run the buffer on two different channels at the same time. That way you can switch back and forth and by rewinding or pausing; you can watch two shows at once.

    Have Dish-want direct-Dish want fee to remove dish

    I had dish for six years then switched to directv. The installer took down the dish, even though I wanted the directv dish in another location. No problem at all. I still have that dish in my shed. May make a bird bath out of it.

    Need help bypassing parental controls @ work.

    People are lazy. The unblock code is probably 1111 That being said, probably impossible to enter without the remote. Directv will sell you one.

    Just curious

    I was watching the news last week about the earthquake in Chile. Saw a big satellite dish (Not as big as a BUD) with directv logo on it. Guestimate was that it was 3 foot dish. If you lived in south america, could you get North American programing via Directv? I am asking about legal...

    what to do with an unused receiver

    The two year commitment is a commitment to stay with Directv. You are doing that, so it should be no problem

    HBO Free Preview: 1/15-1/18 .. Setanta 1/3-1/4 .. ESPN Full Court (NCAA BK) 1/10-1/17

    True, but it was too good an oppurtunity to pass up. I couldn't resist.

    HBO Free Preview: 1/15-1/18 .. Setanta 1/3-1/4 .. ESPN Full Court (NCAA BK) 1/10-1/17

    That is the supreme anti-customer service that Directv is famous for. They scheduled a free preview while I'm on vacation! That kind of behavior is uncalled for. I can be mollified with a free HD DVR with a lifetime of HD thrown in free. If I don't get my way I will [pick you favorite] Sue, call...

    Can you have one account for 3 separate buildings

    Actually, when you buy a piece of property, you can pay a fee and have it split into multiple parcels. You can also do the reverse; If you have 3 adjoining parcels, you can pay a fee and have the land joined into one property. The city manager (of country commissioners office if you live...

    Changes to some Locals for 1/1/09

    I don't think that list is incomplete. I live in the Salt Lake City DMA and we have a station called KJZZ which transmits all of the state. It is an independent station owned by the same people that own the Utah Jazz basketball team. They carry all of the Jazz games not carried nationally. They...

    Media Center

    Like you I had a media center with two tuners. The above is correct; there is no way to split a sat signal (like cable) so you would have to have two receivers to use both tuners. However, My media center also had a seperate tuner for over the air HD. I connected my roof antenna to that tuner...

    DirecTV Loyalty Progam

    What would be nice is when someone posts what they got, they could also post how long they've been with directv. It would be appreciated.

    Does DVR receiver cause bills to increase automatically (even without the 'service')?

    I have a media center PC-DVR (looks like a VCR or a piece of stereo equipment) hooked up to a SD directv receiver (sw310). The DVR also has a OTA HD tuner in it. I can get my local stations in HD free. There is an online guide which you can set up. Since the receiver plugs into one tuner and...
