    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...

    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?

    NHL Greed and Center Ice Rebate?

    How will the greedy owners and greedy NHL players impact what I will pay for NHL Center Ice this year? It appears very likely we'll have a shortened season. Thanks Donald Fuhr and Gary Bettman (for the 3rd time). I'll be sure to send you a derogatory Christmas card when the season starts.

    What's keeping A-la-Carte from becoming a reality?

    With the annual ~$5 monthly package increases every year that is often greater than the rate of inflation or some of our paycheck raises I imagine many are wondering why they can't get a-la-carte, i.e. pay for only the individual channels you want. I started thinking the other day how ESPN has...

    Center Ice Standard Def? in 2011? what?

    Why was last night's regular season game between TOR and MTL in standard def on 770? 770-1 had nothing on it. This was a CBC feed that obviously had HD available. There was no HD feed available on any other channel. The strange thing is that directv picked up some Prince Edward Island feed...

    DirecTV customer considering Dish

    Hi there. I'm quite annoyed with the DirecTV lack of customer service on a few things and the escalating prices. Not to say Dish is the ultimate answer, but I'd like to know what my options are. Can you help? - Is Comcast Sportsnet Chicago 24/7 in HD, how about CSN+ (the alternate) - How...

    Frustrated with the AM-21 design

    Well, I called up DirecTV to have a local channel added to the AM-21 lineup... weeks ago. They are still dragging their feet. Is there a way to communicate via USB to add it into the receiver via hyperterminal or some other software? This isn't the first time I have had OTA issues with this box...

    Holiday Laugh

    I fond this today and it's either very laughable or just pathetic: Compare Comcast vs. the Competition | Verizon FiOS | DirecTV | AT&T U-verse Yet, they keep getting away with it. Remember those "you have to cut a hole in the tree" commercials?

    AT&T Wireless and DirecTV bundle?

    Isn't there some sort of way to bundle my DirecTV payment onto my AT&T Wireless bill? I thought I heard a while back you get $5 off for doing this. I get a 15% discount on my AT&T Wireless bill. Has anyone done this bundling with AT&T? Will the 15% be discounted on the combined bill? How...

    D* removing LD (low powered digital OTA) from AM-21 lineups

    Still Looking for an answer... since I have received no reason from the other group why this is happening... I emailed Zap2it/Tribune to add in a new OTA local station to our local lineup. Since the AM-21 cannot channel scan, the only way to view the channel on the AM-21 is to have...

    WCIU/WPWR Chicago HD

    WCIU and WPWR are now in HD over satellite. I guess they added them with the last round of additions. Just noticed them by accident.

    The Tipping Point for Subscription Fees?

    Nearly 800,000 U.S. TV households 'cut the cord,' report says Make no mistake: The big cable, satellite, and telco carriers are still sitting pretty with more than 100 million TV subscribers. Nevertheless, a new report claims that more and more viewers are "cutting the cord" in favor of...

    A Big Thank You to the Mods Here

    Just wanted to thank the mods in this forum for promoting an open discussion about DirecTV. Most of the time we love it. Some of the time we see shortcomings and have a frank debate about it. There's another forum where dissent is ridiculed and you are ganged up on by those who work (I think)...

    Will anyone ever fix H20/HR20 Chicago OTA issues

    CHICAGO DMA Still can't get WCIU 26-1 on my HR20-100. Tried RBR and new firmware. What is the deal? Can't D* get this mapping right? For the longest time 48-1 showed what 26-1 had in the guide. Now, 48-1 is correct. WCIU-DT maps the following from UHF 27 26-1 WCIU-DT 26-2 -and- 23-1...

    CSN Chicago HD (665) is still experiencing audio sync issues. Are they because of DirecTV or CSN? This has been going on for months now. Hope it is improved soon.

    A better OTA solution please

    A message to DirecTV Finance and Engineering teams: PLEASE add an OTA channel scan in your next OTA receiver, preferably IN a HD or HD DVR satellite receiver. The H20 has it. It's great! The HR20 does not. HR21 does not either... and it requires an ADDITIONAL box. The new H23 does not have...

    CBC on DirecTV

    Any chance of seeing CBC on DirecTV? It would be a far better channel than many of the other garbage channels. Hey, black it out when it rebroadcasts a US program. I don't care. Anyone else like to see it?

    H20-100 firmware force

    I have 0x2021 firmware on my H20-100 and it is HORRIBLE! The box responds to commands from the remote 2-3 seconds later. The guide page up and down is also seriously lagging causing multiple pages to change unexpectedly. Maybe some of you have seen this. I read that you can force a beta...
