I just switched back to Dish, but thought I would share how to get the best offer to stay from DirecTV. I might have taken it, but they waited until I already had all new equipment and a shiny new 2 year contract with Dish to make me the offer. Call and disconnect. They will make you an offer...

Last week several things came together. I had in the back of my mind that it had been about 2 years since our last update with DirecTV, but hadn't thought a lot about it. Then my wife plopped the latest DTV bill (bundled in with our CenturyLink bill for landline and internet) down in front of...

Thursday we had a Whole House installation done. An HR24 and three H25s were installed. Last night (Saturday) was the first time we had something recorded and actually were going to watch something recorded on the H25 in our bedroom. I was less than pleased when the result looked like trying...

My mom has DirecTV. She waited to tell me she hadn't been able to make her TV work all afternoon until after a Bible Study at our church last night. I'm the pastor, and she hadn't wanted to bother me on Palm Sunday. She figured she had pushed a button on the remote and screwed things up, so I...

In many places, at least in the past, this was known as Decoration Day. This day memorializes no battles, the signing of no armistices, or anything of any military significance. This day is set when it is for one reason, flowers are in bloom, and could be used to decorate the graves of the...

DirecTV almost has me convinced NOT to resubscribe. After I was all set to do so. We moved here 3 years ago, and briefly had Qwest for our telephone service, but switched to Mediacom because they could bundle our phone, internet and TV in one package, saving us some money. Qwest now has a...

Some of you know from previous posts that my daughter serving our nation as a member of the Peace Corps, stationed in Kenya. You may also be aware, if you have paid any attention to the news in the past few days, that elections in Kenya, and the transfer of power, do not proceed as smoothly in...

Do you like sappy, corny, sentimental, inspirational sports movies? If you do, I have a recommendation for you. My family and I went to see The Final Season last night, and loved it. Of course, we all live in Iowa, so we aren't unbiased. The reviews you might read are being especially...
