    Just to reiterate... If they are offering fewer channels they should lower their price.
  2. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I don't care about apps. Just give me more HD channels.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes it was interesting and regardless of whether you would agree with that, the point is that DirecTV shouldn't be pre-empting content with their ads.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was just in the middle of watching an interesting live interview on MSNBC at 12:07pm when suddenly the program got cut off for a pair of DirecTV ads, one for refer-a-friend and the other ironically claiming how much better than Dish they are. At the end of the second ad it cut back into the...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Anyone can make a mistake. It's the actions following the mistake that make the difference. Why doesn't DirecTV: - have a recording on their phone line as soon as it picks up fully disclosing the problem and providing the solution? - hava a message prominently posted on their website fully...

    R22-100 at the office took four reboots before it finally came back. I'll have to see how mine at home are doing after I get off work. I'll bet they're not recording any of my shows today, though.
  7. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hmm, none of the documented features interest me much but I still don't like being ignored as an HR20 owner.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I doubt it. DirecTV's SD feeds are so unwatchably blurry I'll take the SD content on the HD feed any day, even if it is stretch-o-vision.
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thanks, I took my questions to the other thread. The subject line on that one could have been be clearer though.
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I got this call as a message on my voicemail. My contract just ended and I'm suspicious that this is an attempt to get me to unwittingly re-up for another two years by making the service call. Of course if I wanted to re-up I would rather call retentions for a better rate instead. Will this...

    Maybe the search engine should be better, I did search, and I didn't find it. Thanks for the link.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've been getting robocalls on my voicemail from a caller identifying themselves as DirectSat USA, service provider for DirecTV, saying their measurements have detected my signal quality is poor and asking me to call to make a free appointment to have it checked out. I would have dismissed it...

    And this is why I'll be switching to FiOS. They've had their problems with MSNBC too, but at least they came through and added the channel in HD for everyone in time for the Olympics.
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    There's late-breaking word on the FiOS TV forum over at broadbandreports that Verizon will be adding MSNBC-HD on Feb 12th in time for the Olympics.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    The sound quality on Sonic Tap is almost unlistenable. Compression & limiting is beyond excessive, there's absolutely no need to crush the dynamic range like that. It's not like an AM/FM radio station where they need to maximize the audio level to stay above the noise floor, this is a digital...

    I know Apple and Google are the kings of marketing, but believe it or not there are more smartphones being made with Symbian OS on them than either of those two. Will we be getting an app soon?
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm considering FiOS. If I move over to their Extreme package with one DVR and 2 STBs, the price would be in the same ballpark as my DirecTV Choice Plus package but I would gain the following useful channels (including a few that I don't get without paying more for D*s HD Extra package)...
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    Just popped in here to remind everyone, in case you've forgotten, the whole point in paying a lot of money for TV service is so that you can see the programming you want. I probably don't watch 80+% of the channels in my DirecTV lineup, but I am a hockey fan so I feel truly ripped off for...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    The trouble for DirecTV is that Versus is important to sports fans, just as MSNBC-HD is important to news and politics followers. In other words they're messing with channels that people are passionate about. Maybe they could drop some of the dozens of crap shopping channels to open up some...
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    fiendz666 did you ever get this to work? I've gone through all the same steps and am having the same problem. Firewall is off. I can ping my HR20 but the only device on my network that the DVR can see is my HP MediaVault, which I'm not even using as a media server, just a backup device...
