I called directv today to ask when the local channel dish upgrade will be ready. (they couldnt before because there was an error in thier system) It will take a few days they said.
They told me that they are phasing out the 72.5W dish and giving everyone a slimline dish and a Hd Receiver.
I having a hard time beliving this. The last guy I talked to (over a month ago) told me they would just add a second dish.
Now they are saying my locals will be mpeg4? I dont have a HDTV (I hate HDTV) televison.
My Directivo I got off ebay is in the mail and will be at my door in a few days. It takes two lines to work. Now since my locals are mpeg4 I cant record them to my TIVO!
I climbed up my dangerous snow covered roof yesterday to add a second line so I can record two shows.
Now it sounds like they will be removing my 31" Azure Shine Dish that I paid $75 for (since my old D* dish went out in the rain) and replacing it with a slimline.
But there is only enough room in my ceiling wall joist for two cables, now I have to climb inside my unfinished attic to drill a hole in my ceiling wall joist to run a THIRD cable, for my HD receiver.
All this work, and they are going to GIVE me a FREE slimline dish and HD receiver?
This sounds too good to be true and I hope it is because I dont want to waste another day in my attic.
