Wow - it has been so long since I have frequented any DBS board at all or posted here even that I was completely oblivious until now that DBSForums was down - never mind for good. Conversation there had dwindled down significantly for a long time before it shut down though and the writing was...

Here is a list of the channels my wife and I'd like to see in high-definition on DirecTV someday (channels prepended with an '*' are my wife's choices - hey my job is to keep her happy too): ABC CBS CW FOX NBC PBS TV One SciFi Channel Chiller Channel An NBC/Universal...

So, where the hell are they in Maine already? I'd switch in a minute, but Verizon is a pain in the *** because they have thus far refused to build in Maine and frankly, I'm sick of waiting for them. When they do build in Maine, I may just spite them for having to have waited for so long.

It needs to be updated now that Chiller is exclusive to DirecTV.

...until your neighbor gets one and then let's just hope he/she likes you. ;)

If Murdoch leaves, it is very possible that DirecTV might possibly enter into a new agreement with TIVO at some point. I'm hoping so and usually that's a good sign of things to come. ;)

I am truly hoping that this is the catalyst to DISH offering real TIVO service within its own DVRs. If this were to happen, DirecTV would have no choice, but to follow once they saw their own churn numbers to Comcast, Cox and DISH Network. Please Charlie, if you are reading this thread, let's...

I'll be switching if I have to like I said precisely because I'm not a sports fan - period. ;)

If they want me to switch over to it - it needs to do three things: 1. It needs to 99.999999% reliably record what I tell it to whether it be a one-time recording or a series link (season pass). (I understand that there might be a problem if the President decides to address the nation or...

It seems I can sure end a thread. It must be one of my super powers. ;)

Precisely DS0816 - DirecTV knows that they need to prod NBC/Universal to get off its proverbial *** and create a SciFi-HD channel so that DirecTV can offer it next year. Well said. ;)

I doubt the update is really coming. The announcement was forwarded and removed on the same day. People have stopped rumoring about it for the most part. And DirecTV retention CSR and retention management know nothing of the 6.3 update on the HR10-250, but they do know that the new DirecTV HD...

You have to appreciate this. Good going Sony. I hope the other game console producing companies take note of this and I hope your PS-3 is very successful.

I just call and cry and scream like a baby. I try to use the exact pitch of an infant (it takes some practice). I never say anything. They send me $1000 in the mail every time like clockwork. You should try it. ;)

You know what - besides the broadcast networks - I really want the SciFi channel in true HD - can't someone come along and provide that - I'm sick to death of waiting. I'll probably drop dead before I ever see it.

I hate living in Waterville frikkin ME... Damn Verizon - put up or shut up. ;)

The way that I'm envisioning this is that DirecTV would provide their own card which would reveive DirecTV programming and DISH Network their own. It might not be feasible, but I know it is possible; even if expensive to build at first. Any other reasons why not?

Please vote whether or not you think this is a good idea and if not, please state why. Recently I had a thought that the "Plug and Play" rules created by the FCC for cable television are good for the consumer. No one can doubt that the standardization provided by cable cards (thanks to Cable...

World of Warcraft (most fun I've ever had in a PvP game) Everquest II (been with the game since launch) Dark Age of Camelot (I'm a veteran - been with this game since launch)

Usually I spend my time eternally watching the next whiz bang thing over the horizon and never spending money on anything. Not this year however. It's been a good year for me. I picked up a Sony KD34XBR960 at the start of the year and I'm still loving it. And, in September, I picked up a new...

Every receiver should come with container of C4 (or Naquada ;)) explosive and a detonator. A landline or Ethernet connection should also be required. If you open the receiver, or if the DBS or cable provider issues a checksum challenge to your receiver and receives back the wrong response, if...

If your a new customer, did you really try letting them know that if they were unwilling to give you the deal, you wouldn't be a DirecTV customer at all and might just wind up a DISH Network or cable customer instead? Perhaps you just need to spell it out for them as such and try the...
