    Gift redemption

    I signed up with D* four months ago and have not yet received my free gift (portable DVD player). I've emailed/called customer service a couple of times already and each time they tell me to allow three more weeks for processing. Is anyone else out there getting the run-around concerning their...

    NFL ST question

    This is my first season with "The Ticket". I'm currently out of town and missed all of today's games. Do the games re-air during the week? I really wanted to see the Redskins/Dolphins games. Will I get a chance to watch it sometime later this week?

    Happy new D* customer here!

    Well, I got D* installed yesterday (had been an E* customer for 9 1/2 years). The guy hooked me up with a Slimline (AU9), an H20-100 and a WB68 Zinwell switch. I had my E* Superdish mounted on a 4x4 in my backyard and was elated when the D* installer said that he could reuse it for my new...

    Are you Ready for Directv's new HD Channels in September?

    Thanks for the info. One more question; I didn't know which multiswitch to request so I didn't mention it. Which multiswitch will they give me (1-room HD)? I plan on upgrading to an HD/DVR and maybe a standard receiver in a second room in a few months. Should I mention this to the installer?

    FINALLY a DirecTV Customer

    After nine years with E*, I am finally a D* customer. I called in several times trying to get a discount on an HR20 but just didn't have any luck. I finally settled for the following deal, pretty much the standard: NFL ST 69.99 for 4 mths (Go Redskins!) Free Premier for 4 mths HD: 9.99/mth...

    Are you Ready for Directv's new HD Channels in September?

    Can someone explain the need for B-Band Converters? I just signed up as a new D* customer (installation is in a couple of weeks). I requested the H20, and the Slimline, should I have also requested B-Band Converters? Maybe they're included standard in installation nowadays?

    Looking to switch from Dish to Direct TV.

    Nice! That's the best deal for a new customer that I've seen. I'm going to keep trying.

    D*'s Off-air antenna

    While stepping through D*'s current promotion, I noticed that I could add an 'HD Off-Air Antenna' for $49. Is this a good antenna? Is it included in the free installation?

    Looking to switch from Dish to Direct TV.

    You probably should be concerned. I was told by two different CSRs (via telephone) the same thing as you, that as a new customer I would get all ST games in HD without Superfan. I then emailed D* and was told that Superfan is required. I replied saying that I felt misled and wanted a...

    Looking to switch from Dish to Direct TV.

    I'm not now nor ever have been a D* customer, didn't figure retention would apply to me.

    Looking to switch from Dish to Direct TV.

    I'm in the same boat, I've never been a D* customer before and I'm interested in signing up because of HD and Sunday Ticket. My only current hangup is that the Superfan add-on ($99) is required if you want your Sunday Ticket games in HD. I've been unable to get D* to budge on the $99 cost.

    Why is DVR not free? Is there a better deal?

    That's what I'm waiting for. As soon as D* starts offering the HD/DVR receiver for free, I'm in.

    FINALLY a DirecTV Customer

    Well, I called D* tonight but couldn't get the CSR to deal with me. $199 for the HR20 was the best he could do. I'll try again in a couple of days, I guess.

    Wishing I had stuck with DISH

    So, are you thinking that D* might sweeten their current promotion next month? Just wondering why you say now isn't a good time to switch.

    DirectTV Amazing deal as a new customer

    Well, I tried emailing DTV with an offer but they blew me off with a generic reply. Guess I'll try calling them. Is there a best time to call; morning, afternoon, evening? Weekday, weekend? thanks

    DirectTV Amazing deal as a new customer

    Yes, that's sounds good. Thanks very much. When requesting the HD/DVR receiver, I should specify the HR20, right? DirecTV's current deal, NFL ST + Premier 69.99 for 4 months seems okay too. I would really like to have HD though. One more thing, what is this 'retention' that everyone is...
