  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    So, I wouldn't know if I was signing up for Uverse service or DirecTV service? Perfect!
  2. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I wasn't interested in whole home DVR and the SWiM came with some earlier tests. Frankly, after all these years and the extraneous charges for the Lakers and maybe the Dodgers, I'm at the point where "it's only TV." Last week I installed a Winegard antenna in the attic. I'm waiting a week...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think the T-Mobile comments are accurate. I don't necessarily see that kind of competition here. Competition could come from Comcast or Time Warner, but they won't be interested in reducing any prices either; just increasing their income for every quarter so that their stock prices remain as...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The psychology of an acquisition is that the acquired company has little incentive for new programs until after the acquisition. Further, acquired companies have great difficulty keeping their employees motivated to do things until the acquisition is complete as most will be worried about their...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was struggling with the thought of leaving a service I've enjoyed for a long time and that I generally respect. Today's (expected) announcement just makes me think that much harder about what I should do.
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Better? Just more expensive. At least DirecTV is tactful when they give us a price increase. Don't expect that from an AT&T run business.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't like AT&T on various grounds the most egregious being when they changed the data plan for the first iPads from month to month unlimited for $25 to 2GB per month within two weeks of the release of the iPad. I never figured out whether Steve Jobs knew it was going to happen or not...

    Not even worth a vote. More channels = more cost = higher billing = upset customer (me).
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Someone has to pay for the cost of any merger besides the laid off employees. I'm already "frothing" that my TWC internet charge has been raised twice in 4 months. If that merger goes through, the sky's the limit. I would expect rather "brisk" increases to charges if the sats merged. And...
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I can hardly wait to add the Dodgers to my RSN fees. I'll chalk it up to never having to see them on LA Local Channel 9 again (along with the Lakers).
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    You didn't like those little Joey's, eh?
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm really looking forward to this product! Something special for my recently acquired Verizon iPhone 5.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    A little late here, but...I've been using your remote app on and off for a long time. It really saves me a lot of trouble when I need to control my dvr in the office from my bedroom. Thanks buddy! You've been a big help to me.

    The programming makes the decision for us. If I were to lose three critical channels, DirecTV becomes just another of many similar services.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    And, believe what Carl Spock tells you. He was ready to go too.
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It won't be very long until I turn my FULL attention to CES. I'm glad I started early on my planning. My pocket computer (iPhone 4) needed to be activated, but I ran into a week long snag with my friends at Straightalk. Ah well, it will be ready!
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    Ah, the Dodgers. Their contract expires in a year or so. I'm rooting for TWC to get them:lol: News at 8, 9, and 10 here I come!
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'd like to think that, sooner or later, price increases can't continue as the customers will simply fade away. Even though we haven't seen it yet on a broad scale, there is a limit to what people can, and will, pay. The Sirius/XM deal took two failing ccmpanies and made one failing company...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    I'm not a basketball fan, so I'm just as happy to be able to turn on KCAL (channel 9) at 8:00pm and see the news without seeing the Lakers. I certainly hope that if DirecTV rents the content it's in a tier for which I don't pay.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I think, because of the possible high attendance, registrations are being looked at more closely. I've heard of 2 people who have gone for at least two years being questioned about their purpose in attending. They are being asked to send in extra information to confirm their trade affiliations.
