    Retention offers are worse.

    I ended up staying. They gave me an offer I could not refuse. The best idea is to put in a cancel order on the day the contract ends. Call them three days before will full intentions to go to Dish or whatever choices you have. If you have a good pay record that also means something. Rob

    Retention offers are worse.

    I am thinking of leaving. They initially offered me $20.00 off per month. I think I can do better. I get everything but no NFL Sunday ticket or any of the big sports add on deals. Rob

    Why are there still SD channels?

    I realize that 15-16 yrs ago I was on the cutting edge of HDTV, having an HDTV when nobody had one. Now that we are in 2016, why does Direct TV or Dish carry any channels that are still broadcast in SD. This is something I just dont understand. We have about full deployment of HDTV and SD...

    My savings with Directv so far

    I think I am actually saving more than that with my switch from Dish. I was very unhappy with Dish previously when I discussed the upgrade to the Hopper with Sling. I had been a customer for many years with a full package getting literally everything. Over the years prices went up, they had...

    Buying Genie Equiment Drectly?

    I just signed up with Direct and have a Genie44 so this is not for me but I was wondering. Doesn't save an upgrading customer to buy the Genie equipment they want rather than paying the monthly equipment fee to Direct Tv. You can sell the used equipment in a few yrs if needed as well. Rob

    HD EXTRA PACK

    I just signed with Direct. On my login it shows the channels but if you pick three month trial you see it trying to order a receiver for me even though I am all set. Those should be in the ultimate package anyway. There are a few channels I like-Palladia for one. Rob

    My Direc tv Dilema- Stay or go?

    My wife asked me about movie ratings. Doesn't seem to be on Direct guide. On Dish you see a star rating which actually isn't bad. I think she will have to look them up on imdb or something.

    My Direc tv Dilema- Stay or go?

    Did you have a contract? Don't feel bad. Those creeps at Dish were going to raise me another $10 a month. My parents even worse. They get nothing for 90 a month with Dish. I mean NOTHING! They don't even get basic HD channels with Dish. They get little more than the basic networks. My dad thinks...

    My Direc tv Dilema- Stay or go?

    I am a new Direct customer. I got the HR44 installed today. I had not idea this was the latest unit until the installer mentioned it. Goodbye Dish Network, hello Directv

    Considering change from Dish to Direct

    I got my install today and got the HR44. I just learned from the installer that this is the 2nd unit he has installed. It is a small unit. I was at my parents home and they had Dish for many yrs like myself. Their receiver blew out and Dish told me they were doing us a favor shipping another and...

    First HR44 on eBay

    Other than the size of this unit is theis exactly the same as the HR34 Genie? I guess I got lucky. Those Dish 722 units were huge.

    First HR44 on eBay

    I just got one of these (HR44) installed today at my house. This is my first install with Directv after being a long time Dish customers. They were raising me again and I was paying them a lot. Goodbye to Dish. It is a very small unit. I put an external hd to go to 2 tb on recording. Too bad the...

    My Direc tv Dilema- Stay or go?

    The funny thing here for me is I can say the same thing for Dish Network. They didn't want to offer me a thing to upgrade to hopper a few months ago. Now they will do me a favor and only charge me $100 hopper with sling and an install charge for the new receiver. Goodbye to them. In two yrs they...

    DirecTV Sign Up

    Dish Network uses off shore as well for many calls. BTW one of the great things about a DVR is the ability to pause programming and basically watch commercial free. You could record a few things or just pause and fast forward through the commercials. These days I think a DVR is an absolute must.
