    The 119, she is an elusive prey

    One year ago this month I fired Comcast and went with DirecTV, purchased a three room, triple LNB RCA dish/receiver rig from Best Buy because I didn't know any better and set up an appointment with a local installer. When the guy finally came he hemmed and hawed about the tree line, my...

    1 year anniversary DVR offer.

    Okay, so I'm coming up on my first full year of having Direct and naturally they have sent out an incentive offer in the interest of keeping me for yet another year. Not that they really need to do anything to keep me on as we've been more than happy with the service and have no intentions of...

    A few questions regarding changing/cancelling some of DirecTV packages

    Okay, a couple of things that may have been answered before, but I haven't seen a direct answer to a lot of them so I figure it doesn't hurt to ask here. 1. PPV - Currently we do not have any phone lines hooked up to any of our three receivers because of the inconvenience of where the phone...

    Taking my DirecTV on the road with me

    Okay, so in addition to the tailgating threads I thought I might ask for a quick internet feasability study of my own regarding setting up a portable DirecTV for when one isn't at the home base. My parents (who get Dish currently, DirectWay internet ironically) live out in West Virginia and...

    Local channel PQ question

As I'm occasionally watching I notice an occasional "fuzz" of the type I used to get when I...

    DirecTV receiver annoyance

    Okay, so I bought a three receiver RCA dish/triple LNB combo from best buy back in July, and one of the receivers is beginning to act up. (Yes I know now that most 'connesiours' of DBS would say "Don't buy RCA receivers", but I just wanted to get something up and running reasonably cheaply.)...

    ESPNa on DirecTV

    Okay, so I broke down and got ESPN Game Plan with the hopes of seeing my fav Pac-10 team play when I otherwise wouldn't (I won't say which...wait you'll figure it out anyway when I pose my question...oh well ;) ) Anyway, the game is USC vs BYU and the only place it's listed is on 210 which is...

    Seems one dish begats another

    Looks like at least around here the people are really saying 'to heck with cable'. The guy who lives in the apartment below mine apparently saw my dish up for the past three weeks and determined that if I could get DirecTV, so could he. My wife informed me today that he was getting a dish...
