DirecTV almost has me convinced

DirecTV almost has me convinced NOT to resubscribe. After I was all set to do so. We moved here 3 years ago, and briefly had Qwest for our telephone service, but switched to Mediacom because they could bundle our phone, internet and TV in one package, saving us some money. Qwest now has a deal bundling phone, internet and DirecTV that because of Mediacom's competition is just a little better. Plus, the one problem I have with our local channel lineup is that we get no regional sports channels. If I lived 40 miles away I could get them from Mediacom, but in my little town its not an option. I had put in an online request Thursday night for Qwest to call us Friday night. I had an emergency call, so my wife talked with a CSR and got a lot of information, and he arranged for another CSR to call about an hour later when I would be home. Got the call, and worked through what I wanted with him, (no, I did NOT want their super duper wireless router modem for $40, I have a two routers and a switch on my desk, and all I wanted was a standard modem. At least 5 minutes of the call was convincing him I knew what I wanted, and he didn't), I DID want the Sports Package so I would get the FSN Midwest, and that was something he had evidently never had anyone ask for before. We went over just how many receivers and what kind of receivers, and of course what program package. Everything is good to go. Then, he asks, oh, by the way, have you ever had DirecTV before? Yes, 6 years ago, and just today they sent me another letter telling me how much they miss me, and offering me the very same rates I have just agreed to with you. "Oh, then I can't sell you the bundle, DirecTV has to come direct from DirecTV. After you get your system from them, then we can bundle it for you."

I have spent a few more hours looking at options (even considering Dish), and considering if for the opportunity to save about $10 I want to go through the hassle of subbing to Qwest, subbing to DirecTV separately, then trying to get them bundled, coordinating separate installation times for the new services while the Mediacom service ends, just so I can save that 10 bucks, and get to see a few more Cardinal's games, while I also have to deal with, after obtaining five receivers, still having to jury rig signals to 2 other tvs.

I'll probably move again in 10 years or so. Maybe I'll just wait till then.

Your local RSN is included in your programming if you need to buy the sport package you are trying to get an out of market RSN which will be blacked out. The D12 or maybe the D11 is the basic D* receiver you will get. You will need the IR connection and it may not be as smooth a usage as your Mediacom connection is.

From the DirecTV site:
The 50601 ZIP Code is in the home team territory for the following pro teams. With HD Access select channels and teams available in HD are noted below:

With any DIRECTV base package (CHOICE or above, or FAMILIAR or above):

Comcast SportsNet (Chicago) (Ch. 640) - HD Available
Chicago Bulls (HD Available)

Chicago Fire
s.gif

Cubs (HD Available)

St. Louis Blues (HD Available)

Teams and ZIP Codes are subject to change. Blackout restrictions apply to regional sports networks. To view games of other pro teams (out-of-market) requires the purchase of professional sports packages sold separately.

So you are saying that I really can't trust what the DirecTV site tells me? I understand about blackout rules. This is not the first time I have subbed to RSNs, Extra Innings or MLB.tv. I am in the home area for the Cardinals for MLB.tv. I just happen to be in an area which is on the edge of three MLB teams home territory, and Dish and DirecTV have chosen to make the free one the one I only watch in order to see someone (hopefully the Cards) beat the Cubs. I am not looking to get every game every team plays, just more than one Card's game a week.

I was hoping I might get one of the D10's. They have the low speed data port. Which might or might not be activated.

Curious, What would you use the Low Speed Data Port for ?

As for HD DVR's, you will get either a HR21 or HR 20, probably the 21, if you want OTA locals, make sure you get the AM-21 ( OTA Tuner) with it, the newer HR21 does not have an OTA tuner on it, the HR20 does.

These are the only HD DVR's that D* uses at the moment, these new ones are mpeg4 capable where the others available are older and do not accept mpeg4 programming.

To allow the Tivo to control it. Not all the D-10s have the port activated, but if it is it can take the place of the serial port, which is also a low speed data port. The serial port on the Motorola box has been very nice, no need to find the right IR code, and I've never had a hiccup with the Tivo being able to control it. Just like you use the best type of connection for the video signal you have available, you want to use the best connection available for the Tivo.

As for HD DVR's, you will get either a HR21 or HR 20, probably the 21, if you want OTA locals, make sure you get the AM-21 ( OTA Tuner) with it, the newer HR21 does not have an OTA tuner on it, the HR20 does.

OTA isn't an issue, because just like we are in a area on the border of 3 different sets of major league teams that claim us, we are on the edges of 3 different sets of broadcast markets, and none of them provide us with a decent signal, unless you want to put up a very good antennae. Choice will give me my locals, although I won't get the duplication of the same networks from different markets as I do with mediacom.

Rep Is Right

I work for a different phone company that can also bundle DTV. Your name is put in a data base and if you ever had DTV It can not be order through us either. The phone carrier can not tell when or how you left. IMO you want the biggest buck nothing wrong with that but once you have had DTV you can not order it through a providing phone company you must go directly through DTV. DTV then will decide what if any offers for receivers and discounts you qualify for with DTV.

Except the offers are exactly the same. As soon as I am signed up with DirecTV I can bundle with Qwest and get exactly the same $5 discount for bundling, except it might take one or two billing cycles for the bundling to take effect. I don't see where I am trying to take unfair advantage of anyone, I am just trying to eliminate what for me seems to be unnecessary steps to get where I want to be. And I DON'T have to order directly through DirecTV. Unless by that you include a local dealer. Which is what I will probably do, and then bundle with Qwest. As the dealer said, unless you can wrangle a better deal out of DirecTV directly, everyone is selling the same thing at the same price.

If there is a data base with my name in it, that data base should also be able to note under what status I left.

I don't think a database of names is viable. My name is Brent Dotson and there are at least 14 people named Brent Dotson in the US (There are two of us in Utah). Obviously they have to pair it with other info to make sure you are the same. The OP however, said that he has changed his address, credit cards, etc how would they tell that he was the same person that had the service 6 years ago?

All DMA's now Western Arc

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

I don't know why DISH doesn't just start a streaming version of DISH and then if you can't see the western arc you go with streaming versions and then they could keep customers if they had good internet speeds. I mean Sling TV could be changed to Streaming DISH TV if they wanted since both companies are under Echostar. Then you would still be able to use your ota antenna with Air TV devices like I do with Air TV Anywhere with 4 ota tuners.

Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

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....

Might want to watch this before you buy a new vehicle battery

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.

I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.

When you need a battery, you need a battery.

If you can wait, new technologies are on the not-too-distant horizon.

You're probably doing something wrong if you're only getting a year out of an AGM battery. Heat and infrequent charging both significantly reduce lifetime.

Huh? How can I be doing something wrong.....I took out the original battery, that was 6 yrs old and put in a new one.....kinda hard to screw that up. I figure it was just a bad battery....it happens.


The biggest takeaway I got from this video was the Walmart batteries only had something like 85% of battery life left even though they were brand NEW. The ones from O'Reilly all tested 100% of life left.

He sounds like he's trying to sell me a pocket hose.

I just had to replace a car battery this week and thought I'd look into LiFePo4. Amazon has plenty of them, but all have top posts and only one 'also' has side connections (Group 75).Then I read that they're really lousy in the cold. So, an AGM, but again, almost nothing with side terminals instead of top. In researching that, I read that most mfrs in recent years have dropped side terminals and gone back to the old top posts, which is surprising to me since those are more corrosion-prone, cause the battery to need more space and are generally more hazardous. Finally I just threw up my hands and bought a regular lead-acid at Sam's Club. They had a Group 75 "Duracell" with side terminals only. It was virtually the only such battery with side posts on their shelves

Had a Die Hard in my folks cellar for over 6 years. Pulled it out, slapped it on a charger for a day. Put it in my 'Cuda and drove it around for a week of my vacation. Next year, the same. But my dad kept it topped off for me.It was a mid 80's battery in early 1990.

Flooded acid batteries like a float voltage of around 13.5-13.8 voltage.
AGM needs a float of 14.2 volts. So if you slap an AGM in where a flooded was. It never gets a full charge.
"Why do they die so fast?" Question answered. There are folks who sell voltage regulators for alternators that are designed to boost float voltage for AGM batteries.
The other way around? Flooded will gas-off a little at 14.2 volts. But seems to tolerate it pretty good.

Lithium car/bike/atv batteries. After 3 batteries in my Harley. The OEM flooded and two AGM's (before the 14.2 volt float requirement to let them live was learned). I bought a lithium for it. 4 year, no gripe warranty after having it tested by an approved store.
The thing started like Thor himself sent a bolt from the sky. Except......try to start it around freezing? Nope. Needed a heating pad.
And I usually like to park it around events in the evening with the parking light on. Looks cool like that.
We could traipse around for a few hours no worries. Hop on, fire it up, and go putt around.
Lithium? A Dakota Lithium at least. The BMS shuts it right down if it discharges below <something>.
Come back. Parking lights off. Won't start. And you know the rest. But it lasted 6 years. A lot better than 'new every two'. And the fact that powersports batteries are warranted for six, maybe nine months. Ludicrous.

I called Noco. Asked all of the right questions. Great warranty. Save some bucks ordering directly, faster service that the wally world alternative.
They addressed (or claimed over the phone) that the shut down was addressed. Sure. The BMS keeps it form being damaged. But if it is shut down because it does become low. Shut down any load (key on, parking or headlights left on) for 10-15 minutes and you get a second try to start your rig. Not a bad thing if it really works. Right?!

Exide, Interstate? Be very afraid. They ain't what they used to be. In Florida my '70 Cutlass had an Interstate (early 90') that lasted 6 years until it dropped its plates at an intersection and boiled over. In Florida, mind you. The last Interstate.....done in 2. Guys down there would suck out the acid and put water in shortly before the warranty ran out. Make it to the auto parts, get them tested. And get a new one pro rated. No more pro rating.
You can't beat an Odyssey. Napa, AC Deco (the better ones). Yup.
The mom and pop Car Quest only sells Die Hard. For a reason, the old man says. So they convinced that a Die HArd Platinum was the hot ticket for me. l will see. Stand by!

You can't cut Mr. Project Farm down. He does great tests of all sorts of things. Not sponsored and pressured to slap a little sugar on his comparisons and reviews. Compared to the Brits and Aussies with their constant overzealous and same sounding (Dave from EEVblog) rant. I like P-Farm a lot. Of course I like AvE (Boltr) too.
Reminds me to beware when wearing shorts around the garage vice.

The days of the 84-month warranty appear long gone, regardless of brand or where you acquired it. Warranties tend to be shorter, with much greater dependence on quick prorating.

The big problem for lead-acid batteries (whether flooded or AGM) is that the US no longer produces lead (the last smelter closed in 2013) and must import it.

Recycling covers a good chunk of the need (~70%), but it isn't free.

I've always got regular OEM Ford Motorcraft batteries from the dealership and have never really had an issue. On my old Lincoln Aviator (the SUV from the early 00s, not the CUV of today), I had some phantom drain and went though a few batteries, but that was an anomaly and with the standard warranty I got free replacements. Taking the Aviator out of the picture, I've bought two batteries in my 24 years of driving. One battery replacement in my Mountaineer, one in my Navigator. But I probably would have had another one had I kept it around longer. Didn't have the Bronco long enough, and so far still on the factory battery for my Expedition.

I run more than the average bear. Dash cam, two radar detectors (yes, I'm aware that can be problematic when using simultaneously), laser jammers and a police scanner. I'm in Buffalo, 90 degree summers and 0 degree winters. Once in a while in the dead of winter I'll get an alert from the Ford app saying remote features have been disabled to conserve battery, but it starts right up.
