I recently contacted DirecTV to request the EPIX programming. Does any of the people at this site actually get in touch with their provider (in this case, DirecTV) for a channel you want that isn't made available? (I figure it's a sensible question. We all pay for service.)

I recently came across a few channels' On Demand, and there was content in high definition. Among the programmers with HD that was available only from On Demand: Cooking Channel, H2, Lifetime Movie Network, and TV Land. I wonder why this is. And does it mean these channels' high definition...

I have two HD DVRs. One I have had since 2008; the other since 2009. The three-year-old one is actually a refurbished model (gray) that replaced a better-looking one (black) like my '08. I want to know if it's a good idea to make arrangements to get them replaced? (That they're like a...

'CES Curse?' Gadget Show Has Poor Record By Peter Svensson (01.06.2012) @...

Last month, one DirecTV subscriber asked about truTV HD [in this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/274414-trutvhd.html]. If not truTV HD, what about some other channel in HD, coming to DirecTV? Preferably a non-premium for which we subscribers are overdue to receive --...

Is this a good channel that's worth subscription?

How much does it cost to suspend subscription service to DirecTV? (And how long can one do this?)

I'm a DirecTV subscriber. And I'm considering bringing that to an end because it is too behind on national non-premiums such as: AMC, E!, Oprah Winfrey Network, BBC America, Turner Classic Movies, Headline News, Sportsman Channel, Outdoor Channel, Investigation Discovery, Lifetime Movie Network...

Title of this thread indicates that I'm asking for advice, but it isn't just that. I'm going to vent. I'm getting tired of seeing DirecTV's competitor, Dish Network, be the one that brings in high-definition feeds of national cable channels that I believe should also be carried by DirecTV...

Bare with me, please, because I wanna be careful here: I don't work for DirecTV, but am wanting to, respectfully, pick people's brains on this matter. Let's say you were in charge of bringing in 10 national high-definition [HD] channels that you figure—from a business standpoint—must be...

Happy New Year to everyone! I called today DirecTV to add the 2-for-1 Starz/Showtime premiums to my programming subscription. (Interested existing subscribers have until March 31, 2010 to do so. The deal is for three months.) During the call, I asked about coming, national HD channels...

I don't know if anyone before me has mentioned anything on Baby First TV, but since this channel initially cost $10 a month for subscription, then got dropped to $5, I wonder if it's on the way to just getting folded into the Plus lineup? Seems hard to imagine, despite however many interested...

Outdoor Channel (ch. 606) is now showing up in my Plus package. Normally you have to add the $10-plus Sports to get OUTCH, along with the likes of ESPNU and NBA TV, among others. Has Outdoor Channel been moved to the Plus package on DirecTV? (P.S. Tuesday evening I noticed from Zap2It's...

Here just a few minutes after midnight, my HD (H20) receiver, tuned to TBS HD, for Game 4 of National League Championship Series (Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies), there is picture breaks -- and it goes to black screen, and back again (an in-and-out thing), reading that the channel isn't...

Since it appears National Geographic HD will be the first national HD that will end up with a regular channel on DirecTV (I know, I could be wrong! there's the thing with YES in HD), does anyone wanna speculate on the first five (available to just about all who'd subscribe)? It doesn't have...

Hello, On one thread I wrote the following: "I'm near Detroit. DirecTV has jobbed out installation to services with limited training. And the installers have tried their best. I've had one or two -- with DirecTV themselves -- tell me DirecTV isn't lately as good with transmission on 5-LNB...

The last time DirecTV did a channel realignment was the summer of 1999. It was not long after DirecTV acquired USSB (that was in 1998), and later in 1999 in came public service and foreign channels. (If dates are incorrect, feel free to set me right.) Thinking about the reports on HD channel...

If you don't mind … What is the number-one reason that explains why you are a current [DirecTV] subscriber? (Note: Please don't give numerous reasons -- I'm only asking for one. Thank you. :up )

Hello, Everyone, This is a letter I've written to DirecTV which I've submitted via its Web site to Customer Service. I've been putting up with problems connected to an H20 receiver. I have had trouble with HD programming, on and off, for eight months. During my eight years as a...

I've been with DirecTV since 1998. And I've seen plenty of times where a bad rainstorm will cut out reception until the weather condition subsides. Well, in the past half-hour, my Detroit area has had rain that varied between sprinkles and a mild shower. Reception of national-based channels...

Hello, Before bringing in dozens -- or, as has been stated, hundreds -- of channels (especially with HD) once the MPEG-4 format is in play … I'm wondering if DirecTV has any current space to add, say, two more HD channels and one SD channel? I ask because this seems so little, yet I get...

I'm thinking of making a change to my program package. I have gotten into watching Major League Baseball -- and thrilled my hometown Detroit Tigers is hot! -- and am thinking of subscribing to Sports Package to get all the RSNs. Here's what I wanna know. Do repeat games get blocked out...

Hello, DirecTV subscriber, here. Once in awhile, I make a point of comparing channel lineups of DirecTV, local cable providers, and Dish Network. I've noticed that Dish Network now has Hallmark Movie Channel. Is this channel showing a lot of Hallmark Hall of Fame movies? If yes...

On Thursday, April 27, in prime-time programming, I noticed that I was getting NBA TV -- that's on channel 601 -- even though I subscribe to Total Choice Plus (along with HD package, HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax). (P.S. It's on Ch. 95 HD. I have no idea what's up. I'm not a sports follower -- but...

Hello everyone! I was wondering if any more information has been forthcoming about DirecTV adding Sleuth Channel? Sleuth is part of the Universal cable stations most non-in-the-knows would simply connect being part of the NBC dynasty that also includes CNBC, MSNBC, CNBC World and, lately...
