I am very new to Directv, and I am switching from Bell Expressvu in Canada. Things are bit difficult for me to understand, basically programming since this is most important to me.
I am really into SPORTS and HD programming and was gonna sub to the Premier package, but I really don't understand what the sports package is all abut and what im paying for?
I am on the Westcoast or will be, Seattle would be my regional area I guess. So basically with these channels I wouldn't see any of the pro sports games?
if not, whats the pt of having these?
Thanks

If you want HD you will want Premier + HD pak.With the Sports pak you get like 30
sports channels,now these channels can be subject to blackouts depending on who is playing.With the Choice Extra pak you get your FOX RSNs and Comcast RSNs I just subbed to Premier and I do get alot more sports,but if you find games
being blacked out that you just have to watch then you can sub to those sports packages like EI and Sunday Ticket ect..For the games you just gotta see.

Hmm I get the impression most Pro Sports games are blacked out on these FOX Sports channels, and it's an extra 30bucks from the HDplus package I think lol. I am new so not sure if I have my prices correct.
Seems like subbing to the MLB, NBA, etc is the better bet then your guaranteed to see these games.
I guess HDPlus is probably right for me. I will continue to explore the possibilities as well as get input from others.

Why do you pay for DVR service anyways?? It's the receiver that does the work isn't it? At least here it is.

I thought there was a regular HD box and then a HD box with DVR functionality? I know currently our sat boxes don't have any such charges, the receiver does the work.

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.

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....

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.
