    Is AT&T gutting DIRECTV?

    Maybe the majority of people that post here have it for sports, but I would bet that many customers are with Directv because they have no other options. I have no cable and slow crappy internet. If SpaceX gets Starlink going then I will ditch Directv in a heartbeat. Until then I'm stuck.

    Retention offer.

    I just called in since my $60 off for 12 months ended this month. I also had a $30 a month that had a few months to go before it stopped. I had to go into pending cancel status and they sent me to the VIP department since I had more than one credit. I was able to get the $60 back but I lost the...

    Movies Extra Pack

    Is there a free weekend for the Movies Extra Pack with channels like Sony and Smithsonian channel? I was flipping through and noticed they were turned on. I didn't see a message from Directv talking about it.

    Pixelation

    I went ahead and had a Directv Tech come out this afternoon. He replaced the LNB with a new reverse band one and got rid of the SWM 16. They wanted $99 for the call but they signed me up for a service plan for $7.95 and said I could cancel after a month. I had always heard there was a penalty...

    Pixelation

    I have a system consisting of an HR-44, HR-24 and three H-25's on a SWM 16 switch. The last few days I have had pixelation and blocking with sound drop out on most channels for a few seconds at a time. This happens on all of my receivers and all channels EXCEPT my local channels out of Paducah...

    Regional Sports Fee

    That's why you don't pay the sports fee, if you want all the sports then you don't want the preferred xtra package. I don't watch much sports and I didn't want to pay the fee.

    Regional Sports Fee

    The preferred xtra package has the same channels as the xtra package and you do not have to pay the regional sports fee. There might be one or two channels different but I haven't noticed anything missing when I switched.

    Regional Sports Fee

    You can drop the regional sports charge by switching to the Preferred extra package, same channels without the regional teams. I get all the sports I want on my local channels.

    HD Extra Pack - 3 months free offer gone?

    I was at the end of my free 3 months two weeks ago. I called in and cancelled, then went to their website and it was there, 3 months for free. I've been doing that for years.

    Does the FCC really require Directv to get cellphone numbers from customers calling for service?

    I called in today to cancel the HD pack and rep asked me if I had a ATT cell and I said no. She didn't say anything else about it.

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    I switched to Preferred Extra last April so I wouldn't have pay the RSN fee. The funny thing is I get FXM and FXX even though it's not listed.

    Retention offers are worse.

    I know several people getting $30 off a month along with free movie channels including me.

    Retention offers are worse.

    Make sure you talk to retention, the first line CSR's can't give you much. Just say cancel twice and you will be routed to retention automatically.

    Retention offers are worse.

    I called in two weeks ago and talked to retention. I was out of contract and they gave me $40 off a month for a year along with 4 months of Showtime and 3 months of HBO. No hassle at all, customer since 2001.

    Suspend and Whole House

    Has anyone tried this. I thought about disconnecting the dish from the switch so all the receivers could see each other but not the dish.

    Suspend and Whole House

    I have a HR-44 and several H-25's and I am thinking of suspending my account for a few months. If I disconnect the sat in cable from the HR-44 will the H-25's still be able to see the recordings on the DVR. I suspect everything but the HR-44 will shut down? I know that some point I will lose...

    Genie (HR44) Freezing

    I've been having a similar problem lately on my HR-44. Sometimes it will freeze up when scrolling through the guide or changing the channel up or down. Most of the time it will release after 30 seconds or a minute but I have had to reboot. Might be a separate issue since it's not on playback...

    I get the 119 with the Extra package and it's not included. I think you have to have the Ultimate package to get 815 before Thanksgiving.

    Program Not Found in Guide

    Oh well. I can only guess that it must be an error in the guide itself since it is only on that one local channel. I can always record to the other DVR until it corrects itself. Thanks anyway.
