    Guess I'll be calling DirecTV tonight to ask if they'll please pay the ransom demands. :(

    Locals in Monroe, Louisiana DMA

    Hah, well I just got a little bit more of the story (or less of it actually). Apparently my dad's the one who called DirecTV and my mom added some extra info. Whoops. I still don't know why Hoak's channels aren't on DirecTV though. I hadn't heard anything about them negotiating a deal or...

    As I said in my other post, my mom called DirecTV to complain about the two channels missing and the CSR said "they didn't sign an agreement". I haven't called Hoak yet, but here's their contact info for anybody else that's effected by this:

    Locals in Monroe, Louisiana DMA

    LOL I just posted something about this. I'm in 71203 as well (Swartz actually). All we get are 10 (KTVE NBC), 12 (KETZ PBS), 13 (KLTM PBS), 14 (KARD FOX), 39 (KMCT Religous). Hoak Media didn't agree to offer HD locals, so for now we're not getting CBS or ABC.

    Additional HD unit price?

    Thanks for the reply! I'll see if I can help them out so they can go ahead and get their order in. The compression on Comcast is killing them (guess that's what it is - picture breaks up like a satellite dish in a thunderstorm, only when it's a bright sun shining day). :rolleyes:

    Additional HD unit price?

    Just checking to see if this is right. My mother called DirecTV to see about getting set up, and they want $99 to have an additional HD box in another room and then $5 monthly. They told her that "everybody's doing it". Is that correct?

    Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

    Yay my first post here! My folks are switching from Comcast to DirecTV and being that there's no locals available through them here, I'm here looking for advice on getting something rigged up for them. Thanks for giving me a place where I can ask my questions. :)
