    Sacramento and SF Bay locals are dead!

    Yes Jimbo I have OTA and they are fine. I think the further reports from all over says DTV had a major problem right smack in the middle of prime-time for the west coast. I did say that all of the channels for two DMAs were down. Not very likely to be a local station issue.

    Sacramento and SF Bay locals are dead!

    About 7:40pm PT tonight the SF Bay and Sacramento locals went dark. There is no message or anything on all of the stations at this time. Just a black screen. Any news?

    I'm a new customer being ripped off

    Not to hijack the thread but my parents just got DTV and the current offer they got was 31$ a month for 12 months then months 13-24 is 16$ off. Also they got the AAA discount so that is 10$ more off for months 1-20! This deal showed up for their zip code but not mine until Jan 1st. Now it shows...

    Blackout issue (nhl)

    A few weeks ago there was a Sacremanto Kings game listed on both CSNCA(698 and CSNCA+(699). I am in the local area for both sports teams and get all of the games that are on CSN. At the same time there was a SJ Sharks game going on as well. According to the listing on the CSN web site the SJ...

    Best Deal on DTV?

    Yes and it seems that DTV has wised up to the double discount stuff. Just tried it for my parents new account and was told you only get ONE discount.... Either AAA or referral and NOT both. She line by line reviewed the entire order and when she got to the AAA discount she told me it was one or...

    Best Deal on DTV?

    Assuming my AAA club is the same discount as the rest, I use CSAA, it is currently 10$ a month for 20 months. The referral is 10$ off for 10 months for the new account and 10$ off for 10 months for the referring account.

    HR-34

    So you currently have 4 tuners and replacing the HR24 with an HR34 would take you up to 7 total tuners. You should be fine.

    Install details for a new ATT\DTV account?

    Actually it would be 8 tuners. 3-dual tuner units and 2 SD single tunes. Thanks for the answer that the new SD units do support SWM contrary to everything I found on the SWM docs. It wouldn't make any sense to me to not have all rcvrs capable of SWM. Of course the docs I found might have been...

    Install details for a new ATT\DTV account?

    I am currently renting a room from a friend. I upgraded to an HD DVR a few weeks ago and got a non-swm dish installed. My landlord is considering switching to a bundled account with ATT for dsl\phone\tv. She would need 1 HD-DVR, 1 SD DVR, and 2 SD non-dvr rcvrs. She would love to not have...

    AAA Discount Question

    I went to my local AAA web site (California State Automobile Association - Insurance, Automotive, Discounts, Travel and Road Side Assistance - N.CA,NV,UT) and was directed to the following URL at the Colorado club site. AAA Colorado YMMV ps. You should hurry as the fine print says this offer...

    Series 2 TIVO's SD/HD (DirecTV) 6.4a Software Update - Now Includes DVR Scheduler!

    You use the Directv web site for scheduling remote recordings. Those updates are sent via the Satellite only. On the DTV tivo units the network\usb ports are not likely to ever work. So the only thing you really need is a phone line so the new 6.4a software will get installed.

    Where Is The New SlimLine Dish?

    Only issue I see with the install is that it looks like there is only electrical tape keeping the dish from spinning on the vent pipe. I would like to hope there is a nail or screw to keep the whole thing from twisting in the wind. Even if there is a nail or screw a decent wind could cause the...

    Anyone here switch from NRTC provider to D*?

    I am in an area where I would have to go through my local NRTC provider( not Pegasus). If I call D* the phone system still says I am in a NRTC area and then dumps me. I have lots of friends who want to swtich from the local guy (Plumas Sierra Telecom) to D* directly. PST has had some major...
