    Encore action issue.

    Ok, was just hoping it wasn't a receiver issue.

    Encore action issue.

    Does anybody else have a problem with the signal breaking up on occasion on the Encore action channel 535? It seems like it happens a lot and been going on for at least 2-3 months.

    Ways to get discounts on your bill.

    Yeah, I cannot complain, that is pretty good.

    Ways to get discounts on your bill.

    Well I got about $31 off of my bill by dropping Showtime, protection plan, and $10 dvr discount for 6 months. They also then gave me Showtime and Starz free for 3 months. So, it is still not as cheap as switching to Dish saving wise for a year, but I would rather not go through the hassle of...

    Ways to get discounts on your bill.

    So do you guys know if the pay off amount is the same for the 2 year genie contract? I ask because that is what my contract is currently under, I opted to get the genie back in early summer and had to go 2 more years. I am getting ready to call them today and find out what the deal is and if...

    Hmm, well I am still under contract, but I will call and see what they can do.

    Ways to get discounts on your bill.

    Thank you for your sympathy, as for my payment history I have been on auto pay since day 1 and my payments have never been late. As for retention, can I call them directly? Or do I have to threaten to leave to get them on the phone?

    Ways to get discounts on your bill.

    Pretty much what the title says, I am looking for a way to reduce my bill since my dad passed away last week and we are now looking at ways to reduce some of our bills since his income is no longer coming in. Now we are not getting Directv's best package or anything like that, or it would be as...

    Pittsburgh locals.

    Yeah, so far it is just the 2 Steeler games, the 1 from today and the 1 from England over a month ago. Everything else seems to be fine.

    Pittsburgh locals.

    No, I don't have an OTA and yes your right, the Steelers are not worth any of my hard drive space. I am just not sure what the deal is with this and if it is worth calling Directv.

    Pittsburgh locals.

    Well it looks like it is on the 99(s) satellite, so I am getting a 98 on transponder 17. I can't figure out what this could be, since I record WWE for example, on a weekly basis and have not seen this issue at all with it and they are on 3 different channels. I could swear the past 2 Steeler...

    Pittsburgh locals.

    Ok thanks because I am trying to figure out why for the second time when my genie recorded the Steeler game, I am getting constant signal breakup. The last time this happened was when they were over in England. I ran a test on my receiver, but it shows good.

    Pittsburgh locals.

    So what satellite are the Pittsburgh HD locals on for Directv?

    NFL from London signal.

    Yeah, I pretty much figured that, but what you said and what I said in my previous post fits the description. So I take it you did not have the signal breaking up problem?

    NFL from London signal.

    Yeah, they are sucking some serious @ss.

    NFL from London signal.

    Anybody else watch the NFL game from London and have constant signal breakups? I recorded the game and am watching it now and it is like every 10-30 seconds the signal is breaking up. I just thought I would ask to see if it is my local stations problem or not.

    Question that has probably been answered before on the HD Extra Pack

    When you called was it automated or did you speak to somebody? I ask because a rep might look and see that you already have had it free for 3 months, where the automated system would not do anything like that. I have to shut mine off in the next 3 days and was just wondering about this in case I...

    Cinemax for $6.50?

    I mean did you have to wait for the discount to kick in and pay full price for a month or 2 at first?
  19. cappy29

    Cinemax for $6.50?

    So I take it in the end, you were able to avoid paying the first month or 2 @full price for Cinemax and got the discount up front?
  20. cappy29

    Cinemax for $6.50?

    I found it when I went under my account/programming. It most likely is for people who do not have Cinemax, but like I said it does not specify the duration either. I would think there would be a time frame for the offer, since of course it would not be fair for me to get it at a steady half...

    Cinemax for $6.50?

    Yeah, I was checking it out on my account and it is not showing a time frame such as 3-6 months.
  22. cappy29

    Cinemax for $6.50?

    So I was just browsing Directv's website and noticed they are offering Cinemax for $6.50. So what is the deal, is this for 3 months? I ask because unless I missed it, I do not see anything about 3 months only trial. I guess by chance if this is not a trial price, then they must be hurting for...

    Protection plan issue.

    I wish I could say mine was only a couple of minutes, try like in most cases 20 minutes to 45 minutes in some cases.

    Protection plan issue.

    PHY levels read -19,-15, and -25 As for your second screen shot my numbers are pretty much similar to yours.

    Protection plan issue.

    I tried the guide and the right arrow and it does not do anything on my genie.
