I was really looking forward to having the premium channels free for three months (switched to Dish on 11/30). I have a 7 yo and have missed a lot of promising movies since he's been around. I've been terribly disappointed to find out that Starz has stopped showing films in their proper...

Well, I got an email at about 4:30 this morning that my DirecTV account has been disconnected. That's progress! I do have a problem with the government letting U-Verse buy DirecTV, but their support had gone south long before that acquisition. Way back in the days of the usenet and...

When I called DTV last month, I was sent to retention. Once I explained to them that Dish had already been installed and that I was under contract with them for two years, they let me cancel (or so I thought) within five minutes or so. She told me that I had boxes on the way for my receivers...

So I was a DirecTV customer from Sept 1995 to Nov 30, 2015. I had Dish installed that afternoon and called DirecTV to cancel my programming that night. I was told that boxes would be here for my equipment in two weeks or so, I would be missed as a valued customer, etc. The boxes never came, and...

I don't blame DirecTV for this. If you're going to have teams in every major sports market starting their own RSNs and demanding $3 to $4 per subscriber, what else are they supposed to do?

The Rockets and Astros have started Comcast Sportsnet Houston. Comcast is demanding $3.40 per subscriber for television providers in the Houston DMA. Needless to say, it's essentially only available to people with Comcast cable at this point. Only 40% of TV viewers in Houston can see Rockets...

Well, I posted my problem to another board and got the response pasted below. I'll probably type up an email this afternoon and send it to KXXV and KCEN, the two Waco channels whose local repeaters aren't in the guide. There are 200k people in Brazos County. I can't imagine that they don't...

I gave DirecTV my sister's address in Houston many years ago. At the time, nothing in my market had gone HD except for a special all-HD PBS channel. I've kept the Houston locals as my wife grew up there and has watched KTRK news most of her life. I have an hr21 receiver connected to my...

I don't want to derail this thread, but are you saying, literally, that there isn't a single RSN on Dish that is full time HD? I know that they are missing a few of them (YES and MSG come to mind).

Well, after looking at my dish, I decided that working on it was more than I could handle. I found a local installer, and he set me up with a new satellite. Apparently slimline dishes are no longer the latest and greatest. I got back all of the channels that I was missing. The even better...

From what I've read, I am mixed on this bill. The removal of limits as to how many radio stations a single company can own in a given market has helped to kill radio. It's also taken away local radio news in small markets. I saw a story about this on television. It had to do with a small...

Yes, I did. Thank you! We had Christmas with the inlaws this weekend, and I thought they would never leave. I am planning on "dithering" on Friday. This time of year, it already getting dark when I get home from work, but I have Friday off. ESPN came back. If that hadn't happened, I'd be...

Iceberg, thanks for making the thumbs. Is there a link you could provide to tell me how to do that? I really thought it was . Jimbo, is "dithering" fairly easy to do? I did all of my own setups back when I had a round dish and a single satellite to find. I've done nothing since then.

Getting more serious... I've lost ESPNHD and am stuck watching the New Mexico Bowl at 480i. I guess they switched transponders today as I had the Montana at SHSU game in HD last night.

I failed miserably on my thumbnails, so I switched them to urls. I really thought that the code was http://image?!?

I've noticed over the past few weeks that occasionally I'll turn to a channel and get a '771' no signal strength error. Today was the first time that it's happened on something that I wanted to watch, a match on Fox Soccer Channel. BTW, there wasn't a cloud in the sky when it happened. To...

I did get the HD feed. It was very nice too... plenty of bandwidth. :)

I think that GamePlan is fading away. ABC used to show something like four regional feeds. Today there are two, and the other game is on ESPN. Also, espn3.com now streams every game on GamePlan and a lot more. The last couple of seasons that I had GamePlan, the PQ was dismal.

I've ordered it on their website. My fear is that I've bought 786 but not 786-1. Someone that I know on another board has an email from DirecTV assuring him that his online order was indeed for both channels. I've got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

As I remember, there is a DirecTV employee on this board who provides unofficial support. I want to buy the Idaho at Texas A&M PPV football game tomorrow and am beyond frustrated with DirecTV's website. I don't have a landline, so I need to order the game online to avoid the $5 over the phone...

That and CSN Philly! ;)

+1... Although they did offer me a one time $50 programming credit. My wife is a high school English teacher. Her position was eliminated last spring, and it looks like she will be unemployed next fall. I've got a mortgage, two car notes, and a kid to raise. These greedy b@stards will have...

I called to cancel Sunday Ticket. I was transferred to their "Sunday Ticket Cancellation Department." I was ready for some serious dealing. The best I got was an offer for a one time $50 credit, and I cancelled. I like the college game much more than the NFL. There is just so much more...

DirecTV did have a package for the 1995-96 season called NBA Team Pass. A quick googling came up with this link. I want to say it was something like $39 for your team, but that was a long time ago. DirecTv to offer new NBA team package. (DirecTv Inc.; National Basketball Association) -...

Well, I called DirecTV to ask for the no HD fee for 24 months. They forwarded me to their promotions department who gave me that and all sorts of other stuff. I got $5 off of HBO for 6 months and either $5 or $10 off of Sports Pack for a year. I must have gotten more than that because my...
