  1. DIRECTV Programming
    Made my call today, waited on hold for 20 mins-after that ended up in a foreign country and she couldn't understand me. I finally hung up and gave up, had called into cancel my Sunday Ticket since I'll have RZ via my streaming service. Frustrating because I've been with Directv for 10+ years...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Like dtv said above, zero issues for me using either the Windows 10 app or the iOS app. I'd suggest using the dedicated app if you can.
  3. DIRECTV Programming
    Made my call today- used the 800-824-9077 number and had a good conversation with the gentleman in total probably took about 20 mins or so to get it set up. Ended up with the $24.99 x4 payment deal he also offered free Showtime or Cinemax for 4 months as well. Seems to be about the best deal...

    I agree, I would think his #1 goal would be to work out the deal with ATT/DirecTV, the league can't keep falling behind the other major conferences in dollars brought in to the athletic depts. The original deal with Dish happened over a night it seems so maybe there is some hope.
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    Not sure if this will be good news but The Pac 12 announced today a new president for their network(s), he has in the past worked with DirecTV Sports Networks....but was last with TWC and worked on the Dodgers channel...so who knows.
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    Xfinity has been advertising this feature for a few weeks, I believe their new X1 box is fully connected to the internet. IIRC they recently announced they'll add Netflix to their boxes, all they had to do for the Olympics would be add the NBC Sports app which recently also launched on XBox One...
  7. DIRECTV Programming
    The wireless is replacing one in an extra room-now we can move it from there to outside during the summer. Looked at doing it a few years ago but the price wasn't worth it then. For free.....it's for me. Now I can watch ST outside in the fall without streaming it via Slingbox and losing the...
  8. DIRECTV Programming
    Bill showed up this week with ST showing up, decided I didn't want to be paying over $200 a month for TV service so I called and canceled, the CSR didn't even question just said "OK" and took care of it. Figured I'd take a shot again today, talked to very nice CSR out of the South and within...
  9. Cable TV Discussion
    In the Northern CA market we've had some issues with Suddenlink, the best advice I can give you if you have Twitter contact them via @suddenlinkhelp and they usually respond and will use a Direct Message. I have had my best success using this communication. They should offer you a discount for...
  10. TV Show Talk
    Agree 100% I would turn to TWC around 8pm to get weather updates and it'd only be reality programming and if it was weather, often like the Nat'l "news" channels it was a repeat of an earlier show and not live. While we may not get the wild/crazy weather of the East Coast or Midwest we do get...
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    Very interesting and explains why the negotiations are so much more complex. Contrary to reports from people that the deal was done and then Pac 12 changed their carriage fees the article explains what the issues are and I am guessing no deal was ever fully agreed to because of all the moving...
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    I think it's important to note both sides are being very quiet and we don't see negative attacks from either side. I would take that as a positive. From what I have read it sounds like this deal is much larger than just the DirecTV paying TV audience but also could include On-campus video...
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    I just saw the same note from Jon. Being his home market is the SJ Merc/Oak Trib/CoCo Times the home market for the Pac 12 offices and home base of Pac 12 Networks I am guessing someone has shared positive info with him. He had been very hesitant to comment the last two weeks when the rumors...
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    Agree, the article mentions "this weekend" because that's when WSU plays and it's a WSU blog. I'd still think if it's going to go live it'd be tomorrow, 24 hrs before the first game. It'd make sense for both sides, give Directv a chance to test the channel live to customers and Pac12 could...
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    In regards what channels will be offered by each provider is different: Suddenlink offers both Pac12 Main channel and PAC 12 Bay Area in HD within their Nor Cal market. Comcast offers Pac12 Bay Area in HD and the Nat'l channel in SD only. As for what is shown on the local versions, when a...
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    AT&T is their biggest marketing partner-I believe every stadium has AT&T billboards and they sponsor many of the shows on the network. I don't believe it's meant to talk about UVerse customers.
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    Interesting note on the PAC 12 website, seems to match up to the rumor of the channel(s) coming to directv. http://pac-12.com/content/switch-directupdate
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    I don't see how you can say "who blinked first.." DirecTV is now owned by AT&T and has a different president. Seems to me that Pac12 had a good idea that once the purchase went through they'd in all likelihood be on DirecTV. Now i just hope the rumor is true and we can see this story "put to...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    I wonder if the key to Pac 12 Networks would be AT&T working into a new deal the rights for OTT. Sling offers ESPN but I don't believe they offer Pac 12 so head to head it might be an advantage for them. Just a thought but it might help them come to a deal. I am sure AT& sees the huge So Cal...
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    If I am not mistaken I believe they carry those channels because that's the markets where UVerse is. The Nat'l channel is nationwide for UVerse but the Bay Area and LA channels are treated like RSNs in the local market(s). I heard an interview with Larry Scott about 9 months ago and he was...
