    So What Do Y'all Think (Signal Levels on HD Satellites)

    Okay, I had my tech out today to realign the dish b/c I was seeing low levels on the new 99a satellite (I have an H21) - and my 103 levels had dropped as well since my install in February. Well, after the fact, everything was pointed perfectly. He checked at the dish, at the ground block...

    Well The 99 Retrans issue early

    It's strange to flip between ESPN HD in the 70's, and the one on 206. Definitely can tell the difference. I get a 94% signal level on the MPEG-2 version, and a 47% on the MPEG-4, off of the new satellite. As I said in the other thread, luckily I have an appt. for this morning to get the...

    MPEG2 HD to move to MPEG4 Thursday 7/31

    ESPN HD is definitely coming in off of D11. It looks much sharper - but the way I really know - my signal level is only 47% - and this is off the 99a bird on my H21. Luckily I have a tech coming out this morning to realign. Guess I timed that one right.

    DIRECTV Remains Clear HD Leader with 130 HD Channels

    Not a Good Kickoff Wow, this really isn't much to celebrate. The big news about the new satellite is 23 RSN's that show HD programming 3 hours a day if that?? And more PPV?? Based on my current setup, I'll see 2 new HD's out of this (ABCF and PG). Yeesh. As others noted, no Travel or...

    DirecTV 11 Satellite - Tracking & Testing

    Jason, The 3 main satellites, usually low 90's... 103 I get in the 70's. (It used to be high 80's when I was first installed). I called them about it, and they told me readings in the 70's for the HD satellite was fine (which I know it's not optimal)

    ran into mess ordering directv

    Deadbeat Erict- He probably does only have a $100 limit - since this is the same guy that refused to pay his prior $700 DirecTV bill. I'm also thinking this service isn't for his "dad". I'm surprised none of you remembered his tag name! :D

    Executive Center Email Address

    Does anyone here know of any Executive Center level email addresses for DirecTV? DISH Network has one ceo@echostar.com that would put you in touch with the Executive Relations group that would handle issues, complaints, etc. After getting bent over on my $50 referral credit - they told me...

    Still $199 on my account. If anyone can confirm this - I'll be jumping at the offer.

    SWM LNB Rollout Starting?

    Scott- If you get any insider info on how existing customers can get one of these, let us know. My installer only ran 2 of the 4 lines from the Slimline into my house (the other two are outside and snipped off). I have no clue why he did this - but I guess it's my fault for not hawking over...

    Picture seems to pixelate more on D than it did with E

    Sounds like you are referring to macroblocking instead of pixellation.

    EI on D*

    I'm In The free preview, combined with all the HD coverage of the games, hooked me in last night. I logged onto my account and ordered before the $20 increase that went into effect today. Even though i'm in the Phillies / Nationals / Orioles DMA (yeah, i'm really lucky in Delaware), it'll...

    DirecTV 11 Satellite - Tracking & Testing

    Scott- Was the woman on last night's launch telecast (the one talking to the DTV guy) the person that contacted SatelliteGuys?

    When will Directv ADD more HD?

    Just remember - these aren't two "new" channels. They're simply changing the programming of the two existing ones.

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

    $50 Referral Well, Now i'm getting BS from DirecTV regarding the $50 referral. They are now telling me that since I am getting the AAA and Q4 discounts - I am not eligible for the $50 discount. I had 1 person email me this, I told them they were full of sh*t, then I had a 2nd "rep" email...

    Install Question: How many coax to run?

    Based on what you have written, I'd say 6 coax lines (2 for each DVR, 2 for the HD receivers)

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

    THANKS! Okay, that makes total sense. I forgot I had that price lock! Looks like I need to inquire again about the referral credit. In regards to the $20 off credit, yeah, I went to the website and did the rebate the day I was installed. It just showed up yesterday, almost 1 month to...

    SD Picture Quality

    Pirate- Hey, I answered you over on DSL Reports (JeepMatt). Don't believe all the bashing you here about DTV's SD picture. On my 50" plasma, it really doesn't look worse than Comcast. Some channels actually look better.

    can i get them to lower my deposit?

    So... So you ordered programming, weren't home to watch it, and you wanted them to reimburse you the charges?? Are you f'ing kidding me?? So, for all the days I don't watch HBO each month, can I call DirecTV for a pro-rated refund?? C'mon now...

    can i get them to lower my deposit?

    Wow This is the funniest thread i've seen on this site in quite awhile, aside from the "MemoriesofMojo" poster, and the guy that can't spell a damn thing despite having a keyboard.

    SeaLaunch Current Mission: Directv 11 Launch

    Wow, this will be a big disappointment if this is the case. I'd think if it was indeed delayed, wouldn't we be hearing more seeing it's only 10 days away?
