    Canceling DirecTV

    Anyone else losing D* tonight. Trying to watch NCAA football and all I get is searching for signal. Tried reset, unplugging and on-line refresh but, no luck. The weather is clear and no recent storms. What gives? Time to drop D* as their service is bad and expensive.

    Sunday ticket issues today

    Isn't Sunday Ticket leaving D* for Youtube TV? There is only one Sunday left this year. I get most of the games OTA anyway.

    Retention? More like rejection!

    This will be my last month on D*. They have done nothing to make the situation better and the receiver is acting weird (losing channels and multiple same channels). Bye bye D*.

    Retention? More like rejection!

    Yes, I held out as long as I could. My h20-100 had an OTA tuner that the new receivers do not. This allowed me to send the OTA and D* thru the same line (used a diplexer to separate signals). I get about 90 channels OTA and watch more OTA than D*. Only watch about 6 channels on D* that I can...

    Retention? More like rejection!

    Today I lost all of my local channels. The Programming Alert said "Your current SD equipment no longer supports this channes. But don't worry, we have replacement equipment for you - at no additional cost to you!* (conditions apply)" Well I spent an hour trying to get D* to honor the no...

    Here's your annual Directv price increase 1-23-2022

    I changed my package a few months ago to reduce costs. Now D* has deleted a couple of channels and increased the monthly fee by $7. I would drop D* altogether if I had internet services and could stream the few channels I do watch (mostly sports and news). D* is not the value it once was and...

    Here's your annual Directv price increase 1-23-2022

    I changed to a less expensive package a few months ago. Now they have dropped a couple of channels and increased the fee by $7. I would drop D* all together if I had internet services where I could stream the few channels I watch (mostly sports and news). D* is not very good anymore in my...

    FOX43 in PA constantly glitching.

    I have D* but do not get the local channels. I used to get all of the local channels OTA (except for PBS33). So I never got the D* local channels. I live about 15 miles south of York, PA (Fox43). I used to get a very strong signal for Fox43; however, last year with the repackaging of the OTA...

    Price increase greetings from the Deathstar

    It looks like using a streaming service (Sling or Hulu) can provide the channels I want at roughly half the D* price. My issue is that I do not have internet options (only Hughesnet). If I can solve the internet issue I would leave D* (This from a 25+ year subscriber).

    AT&T drops DirecTV and U-verse prices, looks to slow declines

    So I've had D* for 22 years. Will I get a discount? My bill just went up another $5 to $101.37 for Total Choice (no locals). Started out as $31.79 and as recently as 5 years ago (2014) was $74.02. So it took over 17 years to go up $42 and then 5 years to go up $27. I now get fewer channels...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I checked with AT&T. There is not coverage in my area. I am not in a remote area, but I am in a hole when it comes to internet and cable coverage. I do get great OTA!

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I get my locals OTA. I get over 70 channels and subchannels OTA. I would only get 6 local channels thru D*. I do not need the locals thru D* (saves $3 per month).

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I have Total Choice - no locals, no HD, no premium. It is over $96 a month for 2 receivers. I started out at $29 a month. So it has tripled since I started and actually I now have fewer channels (most of the channels are crappy shopping channels - does anyone even look at hose any more?) I...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    Almost ready to pull the plug on D*. I only watch ESPN, RSN, The Weather Channel and Fox News. Rarely anything lese. Doesn't warrant paying a $100 per month bill. I get my locals OTA and I guess I can watch a lot less sports.

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I get all my locals OTA and only use D* for sports, weather and news (only watch about 10 D* channels). If I can wean myself off the sports it may be time to drop D*. They increase the fees every year and reduce the services (or keep them the same). Half of the channels are garbage channels...

    SWM Slimline Dish

    Thanks for everyone's advice. I will work on this in the Spring (warm weather) and see what works.

    SWM Slimline Dish

    I currently get most of my TV via OTA. The H20-100s allow for me to run the OTA and D* via one line and use diplexers to separate the signals at the boxes. When I checked with D* in the past about a new dish, I was told that the diplexers would not work with the SWM and I would have to run...

    Thinking of "moving" but DirecTV doesn't like address

    Are you trying to receive local channels via D*? If that is the case, I think they will only provide local channels for a single viewing area (Salisbury) not multiple viewing areas (Salisbury, Baltimore and Philadelphia). If you are trying to set up OTA channels you can try a scan for the...

    SWM Slimline Dish

    Thanks. Are you referring to the PI-21 Power Supply Removal (from the previous post)? I do not have one of those. Yes the dish pole is slightly larger (2" diameter). I can handle that and I have all of the mounting hardware from the previous (neighbors) install.

    SWM Slimline Dish

    I have two H20-100 receivers and I do have a BBC. I do not receive HD because the Phase 3 dish does not pick up the correct satellites (it did before they moved HD to different satellites several years ago). I do not have a PI-21 Power Supply Removal. Thanks.

    SWM Slimline Dish

    My neighbor was restoring an older house and was getting rid of the fairly new SWM Slimline Dish with a single output. I have an older Phase 3 (oval dish) with 4 outputs and the H-100 receiver (HD receiver but I can no longer get the HD channels with my older dish). Is it as simple as...

    AM21 Hiding Channels

    Thanks for the clarification. My H20 does not allow for adding channels via multiple scans. So the AM 21 should be even easier to update.

    AM21 Hiding Channels

    Try a rescan to pick up the sub-channels. Most D* OTA tuners do not allow for you to add channels (i.e. do a scan, save, move the antennae, scan and save new channels, etc.) The tuners will only show the channels from the last scan (and pre-populated channels). You can sometimes trick the...
