Thats where your defense of D* has gone too now? That's pathetic.
BTW bold letters stand out very clearly.
You misunderstand, or you left out the rest of my post on purpose.Thats where your defense of D* has gone too now? That's pathetic.

I agreed that they probably should have done this, i simply stand by my statement that people would STILL bitch that they didnt know.
You are correct. Your 1st two sentences are clear stand idiotically on there own. IF they are false then change them.
Still same situation for me. I didnt reup the $5 package, but still Get UHD and HDNET Movies. MHD, Smithsonian, MGM i dont get
Look, I dont see whats getting lost in translation for you.You are correct. Your 1st two sentences are clear stand idiotically on there own. IF they are false then change them.
They are not false. That is the reason most would still complain. They do not read each and every word on the statement. Bold, underlined and highlighted in pink pineapple orange, many would still miss it. Most look at what they owe and thats it.
That being said, I dont disagree that it should probably have been put on there, if for no other reason so that they could say, here it is right here. They didnt, they chose to use other avenues of communication that for whatever reason (many of them not their fault) didnt get through to some(or even most?)
ARE YOU BLIND? no, you are not. Then why do you assume everyone else is. If the notice were printed in bold people would see it like the first 3 words of this post. The fact that you assume no one would read it is ridiculous and a desperate attempt to defend them. Do you work for DIRECTV? or are you just that ignorant?
Vurb, I agree with you on many things, in this instance I dont. We are talking about the general public here. The same group of people that think that just because they have a HD panel they are watching HD content.
Im not going to ask if you are ignorant myself, but you cant honestly sit there and tell me that the majority of the people who get a paper bill read every line of it. Maybe they do, I simply doubt it. There is a large difference in reading every word of a post on FORUM (or the first three words thats start a post
) and reading every word on a bill where the main info you or I want is the dollar amount that I owe for what I receive.
Two assumptions based on your statment:
1. By upgrading you mean to an HR20 from some other receiver to get the MPEG-4 locals.
2. You had distance and/or line of sight issues that kept you from gettting your locals via an OTA antenna.
You don't have to purchase the HD Extra Pack to get your locals in HD do you?
If you do, I'd call D* and plead my case with them and see what they'll do for you.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
Yes to both 1 & 2
No, I have Total Choice Plus I think it's called..........already had the locals before they went HD with them.
According to their website, they no longer offer Total Choice Plus and if I change I will lose my locals....................To hell with that, I'll keep what I have and the extra 4.99 in my pocket

I have Total Choice Plus and have my HD locals and SD locals. I pay $51.99 for that package. I also get HBO, Starz, HD Access, and DVR service. I have 4 receivers. I didn't have to change my programming package when I got the new HD equipment.

Something doesn't sound right. Call D* and see what they'll do for you.
Until you do that, you don't really know what's available to you.
The HD locals should be available on almost all the packs if your have your local HD channels available via satellite and you have either an H20, HR20 or HR21 receiver.

You can keep Total Choice Plus and add the Extra Pack. You won't lose your locals.
Directv no longer Grandfathers any packages at all, if you have been grandfathered into a package you will be moved to a current sub sometime in the future I cant remember the date off hand but they will move you. That’s the latest but corporate dose seem to change there mind now and then. I know things are changing at Dtv, looking to make a profit now.
Short answer is, nobody was grandfathered or will be in the future innless the policies change.
