DTV lies ..again

I guess DTV has stoop to low levels again. The last Commercial says and you always get your locals. This is BS!!
How DTV gets to keep lying about these types of things is beyond me. There are several DMA that DTV does not care about.

DTV quit your LYING just to get a sale!!

Just because E* doesn't offer as many LiL as D* you don't need to troll.
You are a very bitter E retailer installer.

Sorry I am not a bitter Dish retailier but i am a retailier that is feed up with the way that both Dish and DTV can not just come out and tell the hole truth about things.

I dont know who has the most locals up. I can only tell you what is on and not on in my area. I have people who call all the time when DTV has sold them a system and the customer finds out they dont have Amarillo locals. They have signed a contract for a year or so with out any way of getting the big four. They will not give waivers to get Distant locals.

You should not advertize that you always get your locals if you dont even have avalible to show them. DTV quit lying say locals avalible most of the time, say any thing but Always

I guess its would sound like i was bitter but if you or friends were not getting your locals I think you would feel the same way.

Directv says get your locals where available. You are a retailer you should know to read the fine print and not bitch in a D forum.

"We offer local channels to more than 94% of the nation's TV households, with more markets coming soon. Plus, DIRECTV offers locals in HD in select markets.*

PLEASE NOTE: Eligibility for local channels based on the service address. Not all networks available in all markets.

For Los Angeles residents, five LNB Dish and H20 or HR20 model DIRECTV HD Receiver are needed to receive KTLA. Current customers call 800-531-5000 to upgrade.

* To access DIRECTV HD programming, a triple LNB Dish is required. In some markets, a five-LNB Dish and H20 model receiver are needed to receive HD Local networks delivered by DIRECTV."

If if looks like a troll it probably is.

Again this is my point..How can you adv you always get them if DTV does not even have them. That is a lie

PLEASE NOTE: Eligibility for local channels based on the service address. Not all networks available in all markets

If DTV was to say this at the end of the commercial i would not be here.

If if looks like a troll it probably is.

Please GROW up i am not a kid trying to stir the pot. I sell either DTV or Dish i Dont like either DTV or DISH to mislead the public.

Maybe as you get older you will understand DTV vs. DISH is just like Ford and Chevy and i can tell you drive a ford!

The superfan thing was something different if you want to go back an read through all my post. It had something to do with my HSP account.

Btw why are you still here anyway. You made some type of point i think, maybe,,, You were wrong, you were showed how you where wrong yet you persist. Now you are taking a stand for YOUR subs you signed up, because YOU neglected to tell them all the local affiliates are not on Directv. Dish lies, Direct lies blah blah blah give it a rest and head back over to the Dish forum.

Sorry you are a usual wrong again. My customers are very happy with me and ALWAYS new what they could get and could not get. The problem is when DTV made a sell and lied to the customers. They were not mine.

I am here and will be here until i want to leave..Bruno

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

IFixIt has published their Teardown and they had some positive things to say about the iPhone Duo. It still showed some dust ingress into the hinge assembly but seemed otherwise well-sealed.

Brutal review of Netflix's series Below

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
