    Switching from Dish to Directv

    Sounds bar support is built into the Genie remotes. Wireless is good but at my house we have lots of radio interference so wired is rock solid, Search the threads others have had issue with Wireless. KEY POINT: before you sign off and the tech leaves check a lot of Sports and Movie channels...

    Roofers didn't reset my antenna

    If this was an insurance claim for a new roof, they will pay for the Sat visit but it has to be in the Claim before they cut the check and you have to call it out to get it added. You can still try, if it is insurance work.

    No Fox Sports on Dish, so thinking about switching. Have questions though.

    I switched in May and the gave me $300 in Gift cards AND a year of HBO for free, And free NFL this fall. I would say make sure they list the $300 in writing or order online so you have proof if you can. Almost make sure they waive the $19.95 install fee which is free ordering on line. All this...

    New OTA adapter

    I can confirm that my AM-21 works better, pulls in more channels some at 50 miles than the Dish version of the LCC (looks the same , just has an extra power cord on it) one of the chips in side is also the same as dish networks (guessing same manufacture) Have not tested the Directv LCC yet not...

    The Future of DirecTV, DirecTV Now, Uverse TV & HBO

    A very detailed plan. You must of talked to some insiders or those laid off. I am predicting that 80% of what you write will come true which is a big compliment. Very well thought out write up. Keep in mind that what someone knew say 3 months ago may change come production release day as...

    Advice please: wait for "dealer" to resolve or contact Directv myself ?

    Somehow they knew I had Dish so they sent via US mail the offer to switch. It is a targeted offer, not everyone can get it.

    Advice please: wait for "dealer" to resolve or contact Directv myself ?

    Sounds lime a scam just like those that were selling boxes which had Dish Networks channels for a pennies on the dollar. See todays news a second reseller just lost a court case and now has to pay $200 million to dish What they do is sign you up and run.

    New OTA adapter

    If you are in a market with a big 4 channel dispute you can call in and get a free LCC USB OTA tuner. The part number in their system is below. Some CSRs do not know what it is so giving them the numbers helps speed things up. LCCR0X-38" or DT P/N 216010 The system will only let your order...

    NEW INFO Someone on the ATT Directv forum who is listed as an emplyee posted this on April 12th QUOTE: "The LCC has been expanded to include more markets, and markets where DirecTv does not offer locals (these are far and few between). To find out if your market is covered call in @...

    Directv 16 Launch Schedule

    From my source not in the uplink area but in the marketing area is in 5 Years they WILL START to move customers off of sat by offering great deals to move to the streaming service, they will also stop using the old SAT and focus on the ones around the 101 slot with some channel going away if...

    Yes, DirecTV subscribers can get local digital subchannels. Here’s how.

    There is a screen shot out there on the ChipSet used for the LCC. It is the same chip as that used by Dishes OTA tuner AND AirTV (owned by Dish) Tuner. It is also the same shape as the Dish version. Difference is you need to bring your own USB power as the Directv Box does not give enough so...

    Yes, DirecTV subscribers can get local digital subchannels. Here’s how.

    Best estimate is Directv are about 45% done updating all TV markets with all the new Local Guide data. Dish had the same issue they stopped updating years ago, Directv just recently started again adding I think 1,000 channels (guide data only). With some markets having as many as 30 free over...

    60 receiver setup

    Is that for my friend down the street? He is tired of all the cable increases so he always jokes about running coax to everyones house on their own and then splitting the cost of a Directv subscription with the NFL packages, he was thinking everyone paying $20 a month. It was a joke.

    Any plans for DTV to release new mini genies?

    It would be smart to have ONE Box that does BOTH Directv via SAT and also DirecTV via Stream (what ever they will be calling it). Say a Customer does the Directv Now or Stream, then later decide they want the Directv Solution due to data caps, they would already have the box and all they would...

    Sales tactics at Directv

    Thats a hard one. You signed a contract on delivery unless the promises were stated in writting it is your word again theirs. If you sig up with a third party like Sams Costco Best Buy or some US mail ad your out of luck. Best to call and say cancel service on voice prompt to get to...

    directv satelite change?

    I did say 4K in a couple of years when it is out. Remember the old HD days, we had HBO and Discovery, then years later it all took off, now everyone is HD. Could it be they are planning for years from now?

    directv satelite change?

    What is the plan? Does this then free up lots of space for 4K channels in a few years? Why are they doing this? Are they going 100% HD some day upconverting HD? Ideas has to be a lot of man power to do this.
