Ok...I currently have Direct TV.... I have been with them for 1.5 years and currently am not in any committment with them. I have total choice plus programming for 49.99 per month, plus 5.99 for the protection plan, plus 10.00 more for 2 extra recievers for a total of like 65.00 plus taxes. With taxes its about 69.99 month for my 3 tvs and the protection plan. I am ok with the programming for th emost part except that it goes out every time it rains hard. What I want is for my bill to be a little cheaper and I would love to be able to record on 1 or 2 tvs using a DVR. I called today and asked them of any promotions or deals if I would sign up for another contract...All I got was 2 movoe channels for the price of 1 or something like that. I asked about a deal on a DVR and it was like 99.00 I think with a 2 year committment. Ridiculous!!!! This was from some regular customer service guy, so who knows...
So, I call a local dish place and looked online.. I can change over to them with the same 180 channels for 49.99 month+5.00 for locals+10.78 for an exrtra receiver AND DVR service. total of 65.98 month with a 10.00 credit for 10 months making it 55.98 for the first 10 months... And thats with a DVR that will run 2 TVS and another reciver for the 3rd and 4th rooms.. Plus...free install(49.99 install fee credited back on bill) and protection package with committment or only a 49.99 install and no free protection package if I dont do the committment.
So, my question... What should I do? I just want to be able to use DVR capabilities and looks like I could save some bucks too. Good , bad, ideas, suggestions?
Is there a retention number that would help me out? What would be feasible to try and do with Direct? Thanks..

Call Directv retention number -800 824-9081 and tell them that. They will bend over backwards to make you happy. You should get the DVR free. Just remember if the first CSR doesnt budge, Hang up and call right back - I've found from experience, Different CSR's will give you more than others. I was trying to get a HI-DEF DVR but the first CSR wouldnt budge, I immediatly called right back and the second CSR took $150,00 off. I called the next day and the CSR saw the notes on my account about the price. He asked what I wanted and I told him I wanted the best deal without having to call back everyday and he gave it to me FREE, Along with numerous credits and free premiun channels. Good luck

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
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.

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.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI 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.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

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....
