havent been here in a while

I haven't been on here in a while and have a few questions.

1: can i get out of the $250 i have to pay directv (including an etf) because i dont have a job now (im temporarily unemployed)?

2: its good to see that i can just subscribe to sunday ticket and nothing else, but did i lose this ability when i had to pay the etf?

3: when will locals be available in wheeling,wv/steubenville,oh and when will i be able to get the pittsburgh locals on satellite (i live in a city covered by both aformentioned dmas)?

thanks

1) No. If you have bad credit, you have to pay the fee to get service.

2) Yep. If you don't pay the fee, you can't get any service.

3) No idea.

Try putting your account on Vacation hold then removing it when you get back to work. This way you avoid the ETF.

somehow they already charged me the etf when i failed to make my payment. I was wondering if i could get the etf reversed? Just wanted everyone to know I already had service. I missed a couple payments because i was laid off earlier this year and they cut my service off, turned me over to collections and charged me the etf. I already paid the $50 for bad credit last september. I want to get the etf reversed so I only have $70 to pay instead of the $250 i have right now.

that's what the station manager told me about a month or so ago. That locals should be up by the end of the year which would be awesome. But who's upn, wb, abc, and fox would we receive as we don't have an abc or fox station locally and the upn and wb station is only cable as far as i know.
