    4k Installation?

    I have had directv for a little over a year. I have a hr54 and 2 c61k's. This week I purchased a 4k tv and would like to check out the 2 free 4k channels offered by directv. I would like to hook it up myself. I have the new tv on one of the c61k's. I read where it needs to be wired, if they...

    Bait and switch?

    I can vouch for this. I was looking at Directv in July for the 4 room offer and internet. I even chatted with a guy online to verify the uverse internet included unlimited data (it does). I planned to make the change but by the time I got around to it the offer was down to 2 rooms free...

    Home hardware (wiring)

    We have purchased another house and will be moving in the couple of weeks. The previous owners had Directv and I noticed that every location where they had a television they have a HDMI cable coming out of the wall. The usual rg6 cable is also nearby. So I am wondering the exact use of the...

    Protection Plan

    I believe if you order online, it is defaulted as a sign up, so you have to unclick the box if you don't want it.

    DIRECTV & PAC 12 Network: What's Taking So Long? By Swanni

    Sorry if I hurt feelings but the logic they (and you) is very simply wrong. I am sure you are aware of the college football site operated by Matt Sarzyniak. In his tweeter states Matt Sarzyniak?@mattsarz @jihadistjohn What is sad is how low @DirecTV is going to misinform customers (no ranking...

    DIRECTV & PAC 12 Network: What's Taking So Long? By Swanni

    That does not say much for the mba's offered by osu, part of earning a degree is also to develop the logic. 2 teams playing a conference game is 1 game for the inventory not 2 as Directv believes.

    DIRECTV & PAC 12 Network: What's Taking So Long? By Swanni

    osu, if 12 conference teams play 9 confernce games each that is just 54 games not 108. The conference games do not count as 2 games even if 2 conference teams are plaing each other. You might want to head back to Stillwater for some more math. ;)

    DIRECTV & PAC 12 Network: What's Taking So Long? By Swanni

    I had read that link earlier and have to wonder where Directv's head is. The link says 144 games which is way overstated. Each team plays 9 conference games and at least 3 non-conference games. That comes to a total of 90 games (they counted each conference game as 2 games). And the Pac 12...

    Coming back to Satellite and need help deciding

    Thanks for the explanation of the HR34. Regarding the Pac 12 Network this is the most recent article I have seen, take it for what its worth, but the guy is optimistic Pac-12 TV Networks: Updates on carriage negotiations, football programming and more | College Hotline

    Coming back to Satellite and need help deciding

    I am confused about the HR34, does it require something like the joeys for each tv (besides the hopper) and do they cost extra per month? Or can it feed up to 5 tv's directly to each? I compared the two and the programming cost is pretty much the same for what I want, but the monthly equipment...

    New DIRECTV Promo starting July 19th

    Thanks, lkr. I may give it a shot, I actually am shopping around and will probably go with Dish because the international package I need is closer to reasonable (international subs get hosed regardless of provider).

    New DIRECTV Promo starting July 19th

    Has anyone ever tried to negotiate a different incentive? I usually do not watch the nfl until the playoffs start so the Sunday ticket is useless to me, they could give it to me free from now on and would not sway me one way or the other. That being said, any chance I could get free college...

    DIRECTV and Tribune Reach Agreement

    Exactly right, I lived in the country in the early 90's and eagerly awaited D to start their service, then they started without competition from E for close to 2 years. So they were charging $500 for the equipment (one rec'r) and the sub fees were the same as cable (which I had no access to)...

    Local channels from neighboring cities

    In either case, scenario 1 or 2, do you have to request this from Direct or Dish or do they do it automatically?

    Pentagon Channel

    They had an excellent program Sunday night on the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon and the resulting memorial which I had not heard a thing about before that night.

    $14 off per month 2nd 12 months if you have good credit

    Bankit, does Directv have all the Baytown locals available? I thought this might have something to do with that. In the Lubbock market they are missing Fox and NBC (they refuse to carry the additional fax channels, Mytv, Telemundo, CW and with the NBC, I am not sure if it money or their second...

    FLAT RG6 FOR SWM

    It should work. I have used one for my fta system a few times and never had any problems getting and maintaing signal. I would suggest using a window that will not be open/closed a lot. Or if using the patio door, use tape to hold the strip in place.

    Installation Cancelled at last minute.

    When a business hires someone to represent them to the public whether they are employees, contractors, agents, or whatever; those people are the business and so, yes, Directv did err on this order and as result they lose a customer. I don't know what Brian does for a living, but, unless he...

    Just moved, can't have DirecTV, can't cancel?

    This is the way to go, I did this with my fta system for awhile to a second floor window at our house until I had time to do something more permanent. There was no loss of signal but I do suggest using a window that you do not expect to be opening and closing very much (preferrably not at all).
