  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I guess I'm looking at it from a balance sheet perspective and not a what company it is better for. Both companies are losing subscribers, or trading them in some areas, and with 5g being able to help rural areas more this will continue. Let's say both companies have 9 million, these are made up...

    Consolidating rural accounts would allow them to be more financially sound and give them better negotiating power as they lose customers. If they aren't allowed to merge then eventually they will probably come up with some sort of fleet sharing agreement.

    Call the wifi provider, most likely ATT, and give them the mac id. They can add it manually and you'll be fine.
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Amazon was a front runner the last time NFLST was up. However they were not able/willing to meet the local channel affiliate protections needed. NFLST is still making DTV a ton of money because of commercial accounts. The residential accounts help with overall quarterly revenue and the NFLST...

    I highly doubt that ATT will make many changes to the people who have been handling negotiations for DIRECTV. This means that the mentality will still be the same unless the CEO from ATT just says to make a deal. So while I won't say that he wouldn't ever do that I do believe that he will look...

    It would still be the case if Apple decided they would make more money that way. However Apple knew that they would get more money out of the other carriers offering the phone. When the iPhone started it was a big gamble on ATT. The debate on how good it turned out to be is very opinionated but...

    Digital vs Analogue quality does not factor into it.

    Wonder how the PAC 12 takes this:
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I don't think so I would say that most people who are in their early teens to early thirty's don't place as much value on TV watching. That's not to say people don't do it but truly value it as something they really need to do? I don't think so. I was always out doing stuff with my friends...

    Corrected it for you. I went over 20 years without having pay tv or OTA and did fine.This includes dealing with weather emergencies such as tornado's every year.

    I would recommend you pickup a Fire TV or Roku 3 and see what streaming is really like. With the exception of Hulu Plus I think you'll find that with streaming you will always be behind the current seasons unless you're willing to pay for it through Amazon or Apple.

    You're incorrect. There can be new accounts setup with owned equipment. They cannot however be purchased through 3rd party initially. Someone could get 1 owned receiver installed and DIY the rest. OP if I were you I'd just rip and the HD's out and sell them on CL and recycle the rest or put...

    There's no principle there's only money.
  16. Home Theater Audio
    While I understand what you're saying my point is this. For all intent and purposes specs of speakers are going to be roughly the same within the same price bracket (and most of the time lower as well). The main difference will be the quality of materials used in the cabinet and whatever style...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Many people will get an H44 and eventually add a HD to it. The H44 is the answer to non DVR new customer's. Instead of H25's they get this. Then later on when they want a DVR they just get a HD and nothing else is needed. It's simple and customer friendly. The largest reason for customer roll...

    I haven't read this whole thread but does the hdcp light turn off on the extender on that interval? If they do go out how long does it take to go back on? If there's a noticeable delay then you could write the company about that as well and see what their engineers have to say about it. At this...

    At least something with a jets logo works :)
  20. Home Theater Audio
    Buying speakers is based on what sounds good to you. Yes you need to think about some specs but for the most part the big thing to watch is RMS vs peak for power ratings. Other than that I wouldn't worry about anything as long as it sounds good to you. Also take a movie and some music of...
