    Retention offers are worse.

    Downgrade your package to the basic package then if you aren't watching what you are paying for. You will probably save about 40 dollars a month on that

    Just got a 4K TV and.... it's confusing.... :)

    Actually if you just bought a 4K TV it should do the upscaling for you. If you have a 4K TV you might want to wait on buying the blurry player because supposedly a true 4K DVD player will be coming out at the end of this year

    Just got a 4K TV and.... it's confusing.... :)

    Yup, specifically Netflix and Amazon Prime. You can also find some 4K on YouTube, but for that you need to put it on a flash drive, and hook up to the TV What I don't like about DTV is they only support Samsung, and if you use the RVU features they still want to charge you as an extra receiver...

    Ala Carte programming

    No, but I would be willing to pay a higher price for individual ala carte channels, then the whole price for 200 channels, 90% which I don't watch.

    Ala Carte programming

    Since we only watch about 10 out of 200 channels, I am obviously attracted by the ala carte approach.

    I really hope the AT&T/DTV merger doesn't happen. Also, I hope the Comcast and TWC deal doesn't happen either. we need more competition not less.

    Returning to DTV?

    Talos4, if you were a previous DTV customer, and if you are coming back you might want to mention WBK22 which gives you free genie whole-home HD DVR upgrade for up to 4 rooms, free installation, 2014 included, plus 3 months premiums, and up to 200 dollars back for any early termination fee you...

    HR44 and 3 clients vs four HR24

    I just reconnected with DTV. They gave me an HR-44 and 3 genie mini clients, and I could not be happier. Each mini effectively acts as a separate receiver, and the server is the HR-44 which all recorded programs can be viewed by each receiver. Another positive is the low foot print of the...

    I left for a few months, just came back. I have an HR-44, and 3 mini Genie clients. Couldn't be happier with the technology and the low foot print of the receivers.

    Helluva Charter deal...what would you do?

    I had a "great deal" to sign up for XFinity triple play. After two months I was extremely unhappy that I left DirectTV. From HD quality, content, technology and everything else, DTV is light years away. A week ago DTV offered me a deal to come back which included free installation, equipment...

    AMC

    I was a Dish customer for 10 years, but left two years ago for DTV. I know all the Satellite and Cable companies have issues with content, but in my view Dish was worse than the others. Voom, Smithsonian, AMC, sports, etc. Haven't looked back once. I also have an HR34 and the initial...

    Another E* Customer considering the swith to D*

    I was a long time Dish customer also, and finally left for the reasons you articulated for Direct. If you can get D* whole house DVR it is worth it, and well implemented. If you have AAA they used to have pretty good discounts for signing onto D* Good luck in your decision

    DIRECTV Launches $30 Premier PPV Service Thursday

    and if it is the same service, then those movies have been playing for a couple of weeks I also agree, move it to the 12 - 15 dollars, and they will get a lot of takers People with a group, maybe, but for a couple of people, they could go to a twilight show for about 15 bucks

    Switching to D*-info?

    Appreciate the clarification Being able to have Multi Room Viewing in HD is a good option. That is what UVERSE is advertising. A major problem with UVERSE is you can only have a maximum of 2 HD streams

    Switching to D*-info?

    Price increase during a RECESSION?

    TonyNC, you are right, a lot of the problem is due to the consumer, and supply and demand, but the undoing of certain regulations in the 80's and 90's, along with an inane fed policy put us into the situation we are in today CNBC had a pretty good program on this, "House of Cards", which I...

    Price increase during a RECESSION?

    I suspect that both dish and direct are increasing there prices because their costs are going up However, I also believe that some people WILL reduce their level of service to lower their bill, and find that they could get by just fine with that lower level of service, and thus lower costs...

    Nice screw job D* )o:

    each have their plus and minus points. Dish services are slightly lower in price than DTV. Right now dish has Voom's HD programming content. If I were you I would wait until after September, and then see what each provider has to offer

    hdtv sucks

    I agree I have dish and Voom. Downgraded my dish programming, to avoid duplication with voom. That is what you might want to consider, downgrade your DTV, and get Voom for there deal which includes free hardware and installation with a six months contract. In six months DTV should have...
