    Getting D*, Need Help

    Since you are interested in Directv, please call them at 800-531-5000 and speak to a CSR. They will take care of you. It would be good if you are a AAA or AARP member for additional discounts. I have been a Directv subscriber for 16 years and can attest it is a great service, particularly if...

    Switch to Direct or stay with Dish?

    Directv currently uses one dish for programming. What you may have seen is a very old installation where two dishes were required, one for domestic programming and another for international programming.

    Games in HD but not on Dish in HD (Part time HD)

    I second that welcome. If you love sports in addition to Movies, local channels and other programming in HD, Directv is the only place to be.

    Possible NFL RedZone offering on Directv w/o Sunday Ticket

    That thread was about one fan's hope that Directv would offer a "Redzone" channel like on cable or Dish. Ain't gonna happen. Directv derives a lot of the revenue not to mention - exclusivity - by having the NFL Sunday Ticket. I don't believe they will add a Redzone like on NFL network because...

    Comcast offering free MLB Extra Innings to Dish Customers?

    Is the MLB EI games on Comcast available in HD? I have Directv with the MLB EI package and at least 90% of the games in the package are in glorious HD. I've had Comcast (one year as a experiment), Dish (about 6 years) & Directv (since March 1996) and currently only have Directv. For me it is...

    Direct vs Dish HD channels

    I believe the HD channels listed above and currently carried by Dish but not Directv will be added to Directv once D12 is operational. Question - Do any of the HD channels listed above actually carry HD content and not just stretched 480P content?

    Opening day and no yankee game on tv

    How/Why are you blacked out? I thought ESPN had the exclusive rights to broadcast this game. If that is true, YES (the Yankee Network) will not broadcast the game and it should be available to you on Dish.

    Dish network called me a thief and cant live in a 2 floor house!

    I've had Directv since 1996 and have never been audited or called to verify the location of my set top boxes. In fairness, I had Dish from 2000-2005 also and was never audited. Is Dish so concerned with actual (or perceived theft of services) that they actually go this far? If so, they are...

    Price Increase on NFLST for 2010 season

    I've had NFL Sunday Ticket through Directv ever since it has been offered by Satellite. I am thinking of looking at getting it in 2010 through one of the Canadian providers. Which is cheaper - SC or Bell and are all the games available in HD like on Directv?

    Cancelled Directv

    I think you should go with what's best for you and your financial situation. Both services have their pluses and minuses. I've had cable (Comcast), Dish & Directv over the past 14 years (all 3 for a 4 month trial some 4 years ago) and, for me, Directv wins hands down. The main reason for me...

    Price Increase on NFLST for 2010 season

    I believe the vast majority of NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers are like myself. Cost is an issue for the games and Super Fan but we manage to cough up the money even in these trying times (I, like many others, was just recently laid off). We subscribe because we can see our team and other NFL...

    Do any of you subscribe to the NFL Ticket?

    I have been an NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber since 1996 and thoroughly enjoy the service. It is true prices have risen from the original $79 to $289. In these troubling times, this is a real financial issue for some people. I think most of us getting the ticket are regular people who are...

    I am a new subscriber to SC and am planning to get the 2006-2007 NFL Sunday Ticket package. I believe SC has NFL Sunday Ticket for the upcoming season. I know Star Choice will show all the SD games, but will Star Choice show all the NFL Sunday Ticket games presented in HD in addition to the SD...
