Hello, Everyone,
This is a letter I've written to DirecTV which I've submitted via its Web site to Customer Service. I've been putting up with problems connected to an H20 receiver. I have had trouble with HD programming, on and off, for eight months.
During my eight years as a subscriber, I never had quality problems with DirecTV prior to upgrading from a Single LNB to a 5 LNB (well, the letter kind of explains).
I've submitted the following (and don't mind posting here for others to have their say) because I know I'm not alone. And I don't feel like putting up with this issue much longer. I love DirecTV, in general, but I don't want to be ripped off by inferior service in one area that is supposed to be the Future of TV. In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if the competions' HD service stinks.
Here goes…
___________________________________________________________________________
Dear DirecTV,
You are in danger of losing me as a customer.
I have been subscribing to DirecTV service since [1998].
In February 2006, I upgraded from a Single LNB to a 5 LNB with HD service, and with standard service in four other rooms.
The HD receiver - H20 - has been nothing but problems. But according to a rep in technical department, [NAME], I shouldn't assume it's the receiver.
Well let me describe some of the problems that have been experienced.
While watching on HD Detroit's Fox affiliate, WJBK, the MLB ALCS Game 2 (Tigers @ Athletics) on Wednesday, Oct. 11, picture broke up. Then disappeared. This wasn't a problem with any of the other receivers with standard definition program receivers (D10). And eventually, the picture went out on all the channels with HD programming.
Will it come back? Maybe.
I've found, throughout the 8-month period thusfar in subscribing to DirecTV's HDTV service, this is common. Intermittent picture interruption. Receiver resetting. Channels getting loss. Me having to keep going into the menu screen to reset the channels.
Conspicuous is weather conditions more severely affecting, and interrupting, HD programming than that of standard definition fare. (In other words, HD programming interrupted by weather conditions for a more prolonged period than that of the standard definition receiver.)
The receiver, is what I'm assuming, stinks. Or maybe it's DirecTV that is incapable of delivering.
I have other options for cable-related programming: Your competition in mini-dish satellite service, Echostar's Dish Network, instantly springs to mind.
And so does area cable providers Wide Open West and Comcast.
In a telephone conversation during the 8 pm/ET hour with the above-mentioned [NAME], I demanded a new receiver be sent to me.
I hope this resolves this issue. DirecTV's problem. If it doesn't, one of DirecTV's competitors will have me as a new customer.

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....
