    Discount

    As I understand it, the scammer is not asking for permission, but just a year's prepayment to the scammer.

    Discount

    It is a scam. Lots of info on it in the forums and on the web.

    Accused of satellite piracy because of selling an MRV Band Stop Filter

    Is it really worth this to sell a $5 item?

    No PIP for D*?

    I just bought a new Samsung and it offers PIP, but one of the pictures has to come from the tuner, as someone posted. I haven't had PIP I could use for about 12 years, and I didn't use it then!

    GSN 'free trial'

    I guess he is talking about the free trial of Game Lounge, but I haven't tried it.

    TCM, FMC, IFC. And we really need Epix.

    Just makes them look old fashioned.

    Free HD Access for EXISTING customers

    I signed up for Autopay on the website, then called and got the discount. He said it will automatically renew after two years, who knows.

    Credit card updating

    Mine has been expired for several months and nothing has happened.

    What can I do?

    I've had Premier for three years and they've offered me nothing other than price breaks on HD DVRs. The programming freebies go to people with smaller packages--free Showtime for a few months or whatever. They do that to try to induce you to subscribe. If you moved to a smaller package and...

    Price Increase on NFLST for 2010 season

    It wasn't worth it to me this year as my wife and I hardly watched any games that wouldn't have been on our HD locals. I'm going to see if I can talk her out of ST next year...

    When are the new HD channels launching?

    Actually, I have noticed increased picture quality lately. There seems to be less pixilation during action scenes with explosions and the like.

    DirecTV Charges Wildfire Victims For Incinerated Satellite TV Receivers

    A lot of us have no homeowners insurance. They want to charge me so much, I couldn't afford satellite TV if I got insurance.

    Did Anyone Notice?

    And in my area, a couple thousand feet of feedline and rotor wire, someone to clear a road to the hilltop, and an ATV to get it all up there.

    directv prepaid

    Don't think so, but Dish Network has prepay (or they did recently.)

    HD channels on SD TV ?

    Yes, the HD channels look great on a good SD set. But if they add HD access, they'll probably get the Slimline installed free.

    Leased Equipment

    But they probably are leased and are the property of DirecTV.

    Directv customer retention lies about DISH Network

    Claude, when you told the one lie about intending to cancel, they told you more lies than you told them, so I guess you are a little more honest than they are. In fact, if you do decide to cancel, be sure to call and say you lost your job and see if they will waive the cancellation fee...

    Access Magazine

    I got it for a while and used it to plan my month's movie recording. Then I cancelled the premiums for a couple of months and did not resubscribe to the magazine. I did like it and find it useful, but I'm doing OK without it.

    IRONIC?!?!?!

    Dish Network bought time on Tru, that's all. I'm sure people with Dish Network see DirecTV commercials. My home phone service is AT&T but Verizon could call me on it...

    HD Receiver for SDTV

    You'll also get the HD channels that have no SD equivalent on your SD TV with an attached HD receiver, if you subscribe to them.

    2 year commitment

    I have always been told about my lease extensions when upgrading and always asked to sign an agreement stating the terms. So far they have not raised my rates to the several thousand dollar per month, or higher, level that they theoretically legally could! They probably won't, either...

    What were missing

    You've got to be kidding. We pay good money for our premium channels and deserve the HD versions, as opposed to the pedestrian channels you listed.

    New Receiver, Leasing Fee ?

    And your family member will probably either be asked to return that receiver, or charged a few hundred dollars for it. 99% of us pay a "lease upgrade" fee when we get a receiver and don't really "own" it. To actually purchase a receiver costs, again, a few hundred dollars.
