technically you can get out of a current contract with the recent price increases without paying a cancellation fee b/c those prices were not in your original contract....though it may be too late for this. what i mean is that nearly everyone could cancel.
just call and ask what they can do for you.
hi
I live out in cheektowaga past the thruway.
We rarely have outages of non-OTA channels. Only in the most severe weather, maybe 1-2 per year and it is flickering or jumping and not a true outage of service.
For the OTA, that can flicker at random times. The only OTA you need is channel 4...
Hi all
it has been a while since I have visited but...
I am a loyal d* customer for 4 years now. no complaints.
I have gotten a free hd dvr
free hd receiver
free dvr
I currently have my d* service bundled with verizon local/long distance and dsl.
So my parents just got a sweet tv and are...
getting a multiswitch installed free would prevent any problems down the road if you need many lines in the house, like 3 dvr receivers, etc. wouldnt it?
don't think a lecture needs to be part your imformative post. anyone who does not look for a deal is not informed.
you can often get an hd dvr for free thru promotional programming packages.
for example if you call and state you want to start getting the hd package but was hoping they could...
as someone just south of ya in cheektowaga who has been searching for a new hts I would compare prices at stereoadvantage, rosas, best buy, and circuit city. then i would check online as well
talked to a great rep last night. he is unsure about buffalo, ny and says he is surprised it isnt up yet. gonna force update to get the OTA working today, at least that will help things for getting locals in hd.
evidently whichever idiot set up the original work order for my hd dvr install DID NOT set up the date correctly. so the installation company called to schedule the date. this is insane as i ordered this like 6 weeks ago
scheduled for another 6 weeks from now! that is mostly b/c of the delay...
i was away out of the country for a week. dtv installer called us on halloween 3 times and the last time left a message stating that we should call asap. I call the dtv main line and get transferred to installation and I am told that my install was cancelled. the next day to schedule is 12/21. I...
hi guys
sorry for the silly question here but i couldnt find the answer on the dtv site and i dont have access to my account as i am out of town.
anyway, does the new hd dvr come with an hdmi cable?
i cannot remember if my hd receiver did and am getting the dvr next week
thanks :)
didnt read the whole thread...it is big.
anyway i talked to a cs in retention today and she said two things:
the 100 channels by xmas is not locals
all markets not rolled out with hd locals by xmas will have them done february
this may be old news and if so i am sorry, just saying what i was...
was looking to get the free hddvr :)
only problem is the new leasing but that is ok b/c there is no way around it that i am aware of. been a customer for 2 years, got an hd receiver for -$150 in december.
anyway,
this is what i got today:
$250 credit
$10 off movie programming (free hbo) x 6...
BUFFALO, NY will be in february along with any remaining markets that will not go live by then.
I also talked to her about the 100 hd channels by xmas and these will NOT be locals
spoke with a csr last week. looks like they are saying that those of us in buffalo ny may not get a free dish upgrade from 3lnb to 5lnb b/c the mpeg4 "can be carried on the existing hardware"
that seems strange to me...
that is a great deal. Similar to the one I got in november. 6 months free hd package, h20, free install, free 4x8 multiswitch, OTA.... all for $150 - $200 rebate...and the rebate just came :)
the universal hd channel is great. I am happy with the quality and variety of channels having olympic coverage this year. I am druling over the olympics in HD (so happy with my new tv :))
