    DirecTV - Self install, new account?

    Last time I got directv I had the pole down, dish aimed and it all wired. Installer asked me if I wanted a job. I told him no what I wanted was the boxes he had on his truck then he could drink the bottle of water I gave him while I hooked it up then he could make his phone call to activate...

    Why do I have to reboot my HR34 every 4 to 5 days??

    Ice my HR24 does the same thing. I think its something in the SWM system. But you saying yours isnt is not helping my thesis...LOL

    Where is the new DIRECTIVO?

    I dont like the white remote either, it was one of the things i hated the most about my new HR20 when my HR10-250 went TU. I still don't like it. The TIVO remote was much better...to each his own I guess.

    Question for folks in Atlanta

    I'd bet its Carolina, because when we lived in Mississippi we got Carolina instead of Nashville, even though it was closer. SportSouth. Here in LA we now get FSSW/FS Houston.

    Rain Fade - HD Only

    And the reason they went out is because its Ka band. The HD I mean. Down here in monsoon South Louisiana a rain will knock out all my HD EVERY time. and I have 97+ on all the 103 TP's. ( in good weather) So if its raining anything more than a drizzle, I ain't watching HD. Maddening.

    How often will I lose service? (DirecTV)

    ANYONE that lives in the South that tells you that Directv doesn't have rain fade is a damn liar. Or they don't watch much TV. I had a system installed in March, have 95-100 on all TP's ,and if its much more than a moderate rain, there goes the Ka, So I get no HD. Pain in the ass. Directv made...

    DirecTV Remote is Awful

    I don't have an answer for you, I am just chiming in to say that I agree. Worst remote I've ever used. Hands down. I recently re-signed with D*, and that was the second thing I remember not liking before, and still not liking now. ( the other is the turtle speed channel change) IIRC some folks...

    New Directv Tivo coming soon?

    Lack of TIVO is one of the things that drove my wife and I away from Directv. MRV is useless to me. Give me a TIVO at a decent price, and I just might reconsider Directv. If it works as well as the Hr10-250, sign me up. Directv's GUI looks like it was done with a crayon. Well I take that back...

    FCC seeking to close programming access loophole

    I understand BOTH of y'all! But since when does THAT matter in this business?

    Center Ice picture quality

    Add me to the mix....TERRIBLE SD quality, and the HD games they have arent what I wanna watch. This was my first and last year since the 2006-2007 season to have CI, if they hadn't of credited us the whole season because of Versus, I'd be mighty mad.... I find myself watching less and less...

    FCC seeking to close programming access loophole

    You don't think that Comcast isn't BUYING all those rights from all those teams they have RSN's for? Comcast doesn't OWN all those teams.... What I am getting at is if the FCC can force Comcast to resell its programming, they can force the NFL/Directv to make Sunday Ticket available, at a...

    FCC seeking to close programming access loophole

    I understand it, I just think Comcast would be dumber than a stick if they didn't at least approach the subject of the NFL exclusive deal preventing them from competing...if I were in charge damn straight I would...if I have to give up my toys they have to give up theirs...:cool:

    FCC seeking to close programming access loophole

    Question: Would this force Directv and the NFL to make Sunday Ticket available to any provider? :confused:

    Fed-up DirecTV subscribers turn up the volume on hidden fees

    Says the guy that has been a 'member' since 2004 and only has 179 posts. :rolleyes: I pay to be here, don't always agree with Scott or his rantings, but dammit he says what's on his mind. Anyone that has a problem with it, DBS talk is over there, if you want a tightly controlled, Directv loving...

    Note from DirecTV to Customers Regarding Versus

    Different channel. What was on during the Olympics was Universal HD. The channel that is on D* now is Universal SPORTS, which is intended as a digital OTA subchannel for NBC affiliates. The PQ is crappy because the channel itself is crappy, we FTA'ers see the master feed on C-band, its...

    FREE Center Ice due to Versus contract Dispute

    No problem, I explained that I was concerned about the loss of Versus, she offered CI free right off the bat! :D It pains me to say this, but sometimes directv makes me smile. :)

    Thursday, October 1st Opening Night of NHL

    Bettman never ceases to amaze me. Instead of sitting them BOTH down and telling them not to come out until its solved, he's just going to go with his 'broadcast partner' and alienate what little support they have anyway by pissing off NHL fans that happen to have Directv, who is the only...

    Verizon may bid for D*

    I have been with VZW since 1999 for my mobile phone service, and if they bought one of the providers, they just might get me to subscribe again. Then again, if they lock down their service like they do their cell phones, maybe not. But if they handle billing and service like they have for me...

    DirecTV / Versus dispute: Who's side are you on?

    Directv can burn in hell for all I care. Until they stop gouging customers just because they can directv can bite me. And that goes for Dish and Comcast too, BTW. See, I am an equal opportunity hater....:D There's no reason ANY subscription service has to be so expensive. We,as customers...

    Direct DVR vs Dish

    I hated it so much versus the HR10-250 that I left Directv in September 2007, after 11 long years, and haven't missed it a bit. Well, maybe a little bit, because I miss my Center Ice. But not enough to be held hostage by Directv. :D When your wife, that knows JACK about DVR's, comments that it...
