    thinking of directv

    I switched a couple of weeks ago and love DirecTV. I wished I would have done it earlier. The DirecTV DVR is slower, but the software, in my opinion is better. There are more search options, better ondemand options, and better interactivity. Plus the future of MRV is pretty awesome with...

    How to get an additional $240 off as a new DirecTV customer

    I had the same thing happen. When I ordered two weeks ago through the AAA deal I could not get the second HDDVR for less than $199. But they also gave me two HD boxes for my other two receivers, which made up for it in my mind.

    Just switched to D* from E*

    Had an installer come yesterday and switched me from Dish Network to DirecTV. He did a great job, was very professional, and took his time to do it right. He did install a SWM system for me, so that was cool too. My impressions so far: 1) The HR series is slower than the 722, but it isn't...

    Has Directv lost that HD leader feeling!

    I am a current Dish customer, but have an installation date for DirecTV to be installed on Monday. I think each person should look for the company who is the HD leader for the channels they watch, rather than total numbers of HD channels offered. DirecTV has all my locals in HD, whereas...

    2 year commitment

    I have been a dish customer for 5 years and am looking to switch to directv ASAP. Every time I have switched receivers I have ended up with a new contract. I thought it was common practice in the satellite industry. Not that I agree with it though.

    Just installed today

    I am ready to switch to DirecTV from Dish now too. DirecTV has all of my locals in HD, DirecTV will have all of the Twins games in HD (Dish only carries it once in a while), and I am pissed off at Dish about the TurboHD mess - pure bait and switch. I am going to purchase an AAA membership...

    Thinking of switching to D* with some questions

    Appreciate anyone who might have some answers for me. I have been an E* subscriber for about 5 years and am looking to switch to DirecTV - am tired of the unprofessionalism of E* and am looking for more sports, and I am willing to eat the rest of my contract to make this happen. 1) Is there...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    I would like the overflow channels as well. FWIW, I am expecting to switch, but I probably am sounding like I am finding excuses not to. I keep mulling in mind whether or not the VOOM channels are worth it to me as well. I love equator and gallery, but don't care much for the rest of them. I...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    Thanks for your input everybody - I appreciate your insights. I think I am still going to wait another week or two. It looks like Insight cable just inked a deal with the BTN, so maybe more deals will follow. Who knows, I am thinking optimistically. I have a place to watch all of the Iowa...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    I am still not sure what to do. I really enjoy a couple of the VOOM channels(Equator and Gallery particularly), but I need the BTN to watch my Hawkeyes, especially wrestling which I really love. And realistically, Dish has more sports than I can usually watch right now - it's just the BTN is...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    Thanks for your help. I live in Iowa, and with E* right now I get any Twins/Cardinals/Brewers games in HD via FSN. I was hoping that would be the case with D* in mid-Sept, but as of this moment I would not get those teams games in HD via D*. And I was hoping to get the Cubs and White Sox in...

    Possibly switching to D*- Some questions

    I am a happy Dish Customer, but am thinking of switching to D* because of the BTN. I am reluctant and a little nervous about switching, but feel like I am left without a choice as I need that channel. So I have a couple of questions about the DirecTV service. Thanks to anyone who can help me...

    Thinking of switching to D*- Question

    I am a happy E* customer, but I am thinking of switching to D* because of the BTN issue. I am hoping someone can help me with this question. Is there any chance DirecTV will pick up the VOOM networks? I know there has been a lot of criticism of the VOOM channels, and I can see why...
