Competition Stifling

Only Directv brand DE-cievers

I was reading that HUMAX will be making DirecTV units. I am unaware if they will be the only company.

 

[Mike500]

Actually they will be made by a number of manufacturers and subcontractors.

They will, however, bear only the DirecTV label.

anticompetitivs BS

That is anticompetitive bs and someone needs to talk to the FTC on the comsumers` behalf

 

[Stargazer]

If that is the case then perhaps they need to have a talk with Dish Network as well.

Dish, Dtv

I see no problem with manfacturers producing high end and specialized sat recievers

Thats the point, the current manufacturers that DirecTV has making them, are making CRAP to keep the costs low. They are NOT making any TRUE high end boxes.

Recv

I AM SURE that the right party could manufacture one if they went through the right channels...

Faroudja perhaps///(NRS with SAT RECEVER IN ONE)

the lack of serial ports and discrete codes is disturbing in the new piles of crap.

I love my SAT520 because I am controlling it 232. All discrete commands.

Only Directv brand DE-cievers

all that work and still misspelled it

 

[bi0drain]

hehe

it was an intention knock @ the consumer level crap

 

[charper1]

I think you mean intentionAL

AND

what he means is the word play that you tried to make "DE-cievers", should be E before I as in DE-ceivers; the play off of DECEIVE & RECEIVERS, so therefore his mis-spelling comments.

Almost Dragon-ish.

 

[Tonedeaf]

Always remember I before E except after C.

 

[charper1]
