    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    It doesn’t matter to 90% of the customers if they have Directv or AT&T Tv. All customers care about today is the price they are paying and if they can get the channels they want. They don’t care if the content is delivered via satellite Dish or via the internet. There are a few customers...

    Putting up a dish at a second home

    Sounds like your going to need to get an HR24 or H25 added at your main house as a secondary receiver first. You can’t just call in and activate receivers anymore like in the past

    $99 Single room installed 9-30 thru10-2

    The only issue I see is that they are supposed to be the low cost alternative to Dish and Directv because you have to invest in the equipment. They continue to run these promos which is fine, but eventually they will need to raise prices to cover the Cost of install and discounted equipment...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    As long as Charlie is not part of the merged company I don’t see that being an issue. If a merger does happen and Charlie is in control, Charlie would have more power and the disputes are going to get worse because their will be a larger customer base, and for most people switching to Directv...

    Can you sign in to premium On Demand with Orby?

    I think it’s more of a programming issue more than anything else. Considering orby being so cut rate, I doubt they want to spend the money to integrate their systems.

    HBO out?

    My HBO works fine. Don’t know if it’s working for Dish customers as I don’t have dish anymore

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    Everything is refurbished these days. Directv hasn’t manufactured an HD only box since 2013. Only thing new is Hoppers, Joey’s, Genies and minis. Before switching to the Kangaroo crap, it was almost next to Impossible to get a new Dish Network receiver.

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    Absolutely. But if your getting it for free for signing up with Directv why not. I know very few people who continue to subscribe after the free year is over. Also, there are lots of people who are on auto pay, paying for it and have no idea they have it. Once you get it for free, it...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    I never said they couldn’t sell something that was not available. But if you pull an address and it’s AT&T tv or Directv, the product that pays the higher commission gets sold and offered to the customer first. If your selling Dish, your not even talking about HBO or regional sports unless...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    You got to be in Sales to understand it. Directv for example is all screwed up. You put the address in the system and depending on the area, you can sell Directv or AT&T Tv. Commission for us is around $300 for AT&T Tv and or Directv. However depending on the area, Directv only pays $80...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    The fact of the matter is you can get any one of the 3 products. Directv, U-verse or AT&T Tv. It’s just a matter of what AT&T wants to pay their sales people for the sale is what is going to get sold to the customer.

    I just renewed online.

    I wish they would quit playing games with the subscription fee. It’s not worth more than $5 per month. When I call them I flat out tell them this and get the deal

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    The only thing is that if Dish merged with Directv, I don’t think AT&T who owns HBO, can afford to loose all the Directv subscribers on the Directv side of a merged company. Right now, the reason why there is no HBO on Dish is for 2 reasons... 1) Charlie is being a cheap A Hole as usual. 2)...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    The last phone book I saw was like a text book from grade school. Except for the older folks, nobody is going to print Directories. The only good thing print directories is that the data from them are used to drive regular directory assistance. So if you wanted to list yourself you could...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    If Dish bought Directv, likely HBO and the regional sports networks would come back. But let’s hope Charlie never gets his hands on Directv. I would hate to be forced to cancel my subscription.

    Maybe it was Direct Dish Anyways it came up before Dish network and that’s all that mattered back then

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    That’s what I used to advertise as in the yellow pages. It was Dish Direct. You could order Dish directly from us, which also made people think we where actually Dish. And you could make people think we where Directv also. But more importantly Dish Direct comes up before dish network in...

    AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

    Exactly. If let’s say (So help us god) if Dish and Directv merged. The Directv name would likely continue as the Dish name would go away as Directv has a way better reputation and brand name than Dish.

    OTA sub channels

    Yes no OTA guide data for the 27 sub channels. Now granted I knew that getting into this project that I wouldn’t face guide data. Just wondering if Directv has guide data for those channels since they where supported on a LCC or AM21

    That’s where they wanted to put it. The old location was in an elevator room that was 100 degrees all the time.
