    WBTS Boston

    This is major news. Wow. How could WHDH 7 lose the affiliate status? WBTS is a complete joke of a station with a measly fraction of the coverage area of WHDH. I guess many over the air viewers will tune to the Providence station. Why doesn't D* just carry WJAR-10 then? WBTS should not be...

    Fox sports north and fox sports Wisconsin

    Correct. FSN Wisconsin is not a full time channel. That is the reason for this confusion. FSN Wisconsin is only active for Brewers, Bucks, and some other local college games. There are other channels like this across the country that are part time sports channels. FSN Indiana is part of FSN...

    Fios beats DirecTv in latest customer satisfaction ranking

    I think it's more about the $100/mo barrier and continued trajectory of escalation with no relief in sight. The a-la-carte model is the only way pay TV survives another 10 years. Pay-TV is pricing itself out of existence. Who wants to pay for channels they don't watch? If you could shave...

    SEC Network Launches August 14 Channel 611

    I think you guys are missing the point. SOME people (I know Congress is excluded) do not want to wait until the last minute to do things in life, whether it is pay taxes, bills, etc. Same thing goes for switching providers. The longer DirecTV strings this out to pinch a penny, the more risk...

    SEC Network Launches August 14 Channel 611

    Tick, Tock... DirecTV it's your turn to get the SEC Network. Comcast has it now. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24626617/sec-network-reaches-deal-with-comcast-cable I have to believe in the next couple of weeks we'll hear a major announcement. DirecTV can't...

    SEC Network Launches August 14 Channel 611

    The SEC has begun a major national media blitz to promote the SEC Network: http://college-football.si.com/2014/04/22/espn-sec-network-launch-commercials/ So far, only ATT U-verse and Dish Network have signed on. How much longer before DirecTV carries the SEC Network? As a 13 yr DirecTV sub, I...

    If Directv could improve your experince and keep you for life what would do it?

    1. Better firmware that runs faster on the boxes. Pressing a button on the remote and waiting 5 seconds for it to appear on the screen is 100% unacceptable. 2. Loyal customer pricing 3. Better bundling options. Way too limited right now. 4. A better over the air interface featuring all OTA...

    SEC CHANNEL

    Are you going to tell me the Big12Ten has better football than the SEC? Isn't football driving all sports revenue at universities across the country? I'd argue the Big12Ten has slightly better basketball, but for football where the ratings are, it's note even close. Does the Big12Ten Network...

    SEC CHANNEL

    Here's the problem. The "SEC Network" used to be a syndicated channel many of us received over the air. In some markets it was on the primary channel, others had it on a subchannel. At least 50%, Maybe approaching 70% of the nation had OTA access to the SEC Network. Now, the syndication...

    The Weather Channel In Open Letter To DirecTV: You Really Oughta Waive Fees For Your Customers Who W

    Bring TWC back if they agree to the SAME rate as last year and eliminate the reality TV. Simple solution.

    AM21

    Please be sure to ask for the shAM-21 because it's a SHAM it does not have a scanning channel function like every other over the air tuner. You get the channels DirecTV put in their database in 2009, and has not updated since. In larger markets you may get 75% of the sub channels. if you have...

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    I am SO sad today that we lost TWC. I was looking forward to the Communistcast fed left wing "climate change" propaganda, the endless commercials, updates on Winter Storm "Jim Bob," and when programming finally returns, an episode of "Storm Stories." ...NOT But on a more serious note, when is...

    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    Good! The Weather Channel SUCKS! Their endless commercials and idiotic naming of winter storms that the NWS does not even recognize? Hurcules? Ion? What does it take to get a "winter storm name?" 3 inches of snow over 500 miles? Huh? Dumb. How about the fact they have some dramas on...

    DirecTV removes OTA scanning from Genies? WTF!

    You responded like you knew more accurate information than I did. Besides, the point is that we have been fed a load of garbage from DirecTV, they have poor customer support on this issue with inconsistent information, and they are taking away a feature many people have wanted or enjoy. Can...

    DirecTV removes OTA scanning from Genies? WTF!

    OK, then DirecTV employee, set the record straight. and please explain why the HR23 is slow as hell even without an AM-21 When you ignore the customer with such arrogance it shows you do not care. Search the archives. This discussion has been going on for years and I have made many calls. I...

    You would be fired at DirecTV for making such a logical comment.

    DirecTV removes OTA scanning from Genies? WTF!

    So, we've heard for years that the receivers would carry any channel in the Tribune database. LIE Then we heard that DirecTV did not have the technology to make OTA scanning work in the HR series. LIE Then we heard the extra OTA channels, even if there was no scan, slowed down the receiver to...

    NHL Scheduled to Return - what about Center Ice customers?

    You're being sarcastic but you are totally right. There shouldn't even be a team in Phoenix. Every year since they have been there they have lost money. It's not a hockey market. The league and the city have subsidized that team very heavily for years. It's really pathetic. Quebec City...

    NHL Scheduled to Return - what about Center Ice customers?

    That's because you live in Indana and between IU basketball and ND football no one cares about anything else. I have a friend in IN and he could care less about hockey. It's an Indiana thing. The South could care less about hockey too. The lockout didn't hurt them since there was no...

    NHL Scheduled to Return - what about Center Ice customers?

    The NHL has agreed to a framework with the players assn. for a new CBA with rumors of a 48-game season season starting Jan 19th. So, will Center Ice just be prorated (48/82) x normal cost? Any idea?

    Advise on debundling Directv service from Verizon

    What is the discount? $5/mo? Is there any downside to doing this? Will I lose the ability to change packages easily or negotiate for equipment upgrades/ package upgrades?

    DirecTV and OTA

    There are actually quite a few stations you can't get over the air in Chicago with just the satellite feeds. The AM-21 receives about 80% of available OTA channels so that isn't even a great solution. The AM-21 channel list was updated once in 2008 and I don't think it has been touched since...

    HD-DVRs are soooo slow

    The HR24 is much better than any of the ones you have.
