    I didn't know that, thanks for the info. It's fantastic news, the deal's done (y)

    DFW Market : Local Fox affiliate KDFW Ch 4 is still on as of this post. FS1 also on. Perhaps they agreed to keep the affected Fox outlets lit while negotiations are ongoing or agreed to a temporary deal to keep them lit. There's a new post on the 'net but otherwise, all seems quiet as that's...

    I'm in the DFW market & I haven't as yet seen any Crawlers on the channel indicating the carriage dispute. I may have missed it but I've been tuning into KDFW Channel 4 for the last 2-3 days off & on. The reason may be that KDFW appears to be owned (according to the small print at the end of...

    WFAA Ch 8 ABC is back on in Dallas.

    Copy that. Last summer was my toughest year to get a ST deal. Last year I got discounts on my Premier pkg to offset the full ST price & come out ahead but it took more than a couple phone calls to get it. I plan on making my annual call soon.

    Sounds good. Generally, does the the Genie 'Net connection have any adverse effects with a resident's current 'Net connection to their PC's? I've read some threads where the Genie Boxes have to be reset, etc, or there's a 'Net speed issue with the Genie connected to the 'Net. I have FIOS 'Net...

    I think I'll have the installer do the install with Internet & leave my 'Net Ethernet output (to the DTV/Genie line) disconnected. That way, I'll have the 'Net install complete in case I decide to connect it to the Genie.

    Thanks :)

    Hi. Does that mean the HR54 install (with my remote room TV's) will work without an Internet connection? Sorry, just want to be sure I understand it.
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Thanks :). I have a question about the Internet connection to the HR54 Genie system: is it mandatory to have this connection included with a Genie install? I don't use "on demand" or pay per view movies, etc, and I've never had a 'Net connection installed with my original HR22 install. Will...

    Thanks for the info :)

    I'm finally getting an HR54 (with 3 Clints) Genie upgrade this coming Monday & I have some questions about the upcoming install. I initially wanted an HR44 since it has the Composite Audio outputs directly available. The DirecTV Rep said the HR44 isn't available. My current equip is...

    Just finished my 2nd call. First, many thanks to new member reichen for providing the following DTV contact info in a previous post: 800-824-9081 pin number 2140 I used that & reached a "Cust Loyalty" Rep. I didn't get a further discount for ST (reg - not Max) directly other than the $17x6...

    Same here. I haven't seen a clear correlation between contract expiration & receiving a ST deal in the past. I've received good deals in & out of contract status although in recent years I've waited until my contract expires before placing my annual ST call. I placed my 1st ST call a few days...

    In Dallas market: I saw the same thing when I tried switching to the Panthers game; got the 'blackout' message. When I tried again about 15-20 minutes later, the blackout glitch was fixed.

    I'm not sure but that may be true. It's been a long time since I've looked at how DTV lists discounts on the "Activity" page of my account but it does appear this may be the case. I'll know for certain at my next billing cycle on 09/14 .
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    It appears I received additional credits I wasn't aware of at the time I called earlier. I looked at my recent activities & saw this: I think I recall the CSR mentioned something about qualifying for additional discounts but wasn't sure about the meaning of it. It's been a while since I've...
