    To everyone, I am sorry I defended this guy as I just recently joined and didn't know any better. Well , looks like I did everyone a favor by getting him going as he is now banned, although I am sure it would have happened anyway.:up

    I will post my bill if that is allowed and you need proof. No problem. Yeah, it is a special for a year, but even with a modest rate hike it still saves me $. Who knows? Maybe Direct will come thru, stop the hd lite and have a reliable dvr by the time it ends. Bottom line is I don't think there...

    1 dvr in the bedroom, 1 in the family room and 1 in the finished basement, i.e. "man Land". Bro, I have 2 daughters, 1 and 3. I love the heck out of them, bless their hearts, but I don't need Wow Wow Wusby and Go Deigo Go all over my dvr's hard drive!!:eek: The bed room dvr is reserved for my...

    Again, thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. I pay under 130/mo for all digital, every channel offered including the hd pack, 3 HD DVR's, all movie channels, and I can watch a whole season of curb or the sopranos with on demand. And I get roadrunner with that price as well. Go to...

    Dude, you are not making sense. Directv has no other "larger" dishes than the one I have. So I am not following you on that one. Do you want me to switch to a c band? If you have the largest dish offered and you still experience rain fade, thats the way it goes. Like I said, I am in the 90's...

    Ok, then why do the cable companies not charge 300 up front on top of a monthly lease fee? If my dvr takes a poop I can take a 15 min ride and get a new one myself. My brother has gone thru 3 hr 20's since they have been out. True, direct replaces them, depending on the shipping method you...

    No, all I was saying is that I have experienced more service disruptions with dbs than with cable. I realize that I am one of the lucky ones who have a decent cable co. I wish I could get the pic quality with dbs that I can with my cable, I am a sports fan and have subscribed to sunday ticket...

    I think you missed my point. Cable outages are NOT related to rain fade or snow due to the size of their dishes.

    Directv e mailed me yesterday and told me that the cancellation fee is a flat 150.00 if you are not satisfied. They would not even give me a 30 period to see if the hr20 sucks as bad as everyone says it does as well as the hd lite. You would think that a company like directv would believe in...

    I would have NEVER considered having cable until Time Warner went all digital in my area. I have always hated cable and been with dbs. Times are changing, and I am hardheaded. If you live in a area that has a quality all digital cable provider, it is worth looking into, if not, like most of the...

    My dish captures the signal in the 90's consistently, so that is wrong. We have BIG summer storms in the midwest, and when it snows I have to get out and scrape the dish off. The difference between rain fade on a dish on the side of your house and a main dish at the cable company is, oh, 100...

    OVERRATED...... My digital cable hasn't gone down that I know of since I've had it. Never a missed recording on my dvr's. I've lost sat signals for hours at a time.

    And it looks like he will. There is a small thing directv has on him called "2 year commitment". Even though the product and hardware is not as advertised. The thing that chaps my ass about BOTH dbs companies is the 300 bucks you have to plop down for a dvr that isn't yours. I can't get over it...

    Who cares? A directv customer that bitches about their own product is more credible than someone constantly praising the service. The only thing Directv has on the competitors are the sports packages. PQ is better on many other systems. All digital cable and fios are better, they just don't have...
