    She really did not answer why the Pac12 network was not providing as much revenue to the schools as the Big 10 and SEC networks were returning to their schools. Instead, she talked about total revenue. That was not the question, nor was any revenue beyond what the network provides within her...

    The market values for all cable networks are determined by SNL Kagan, but I do not know the details of how they do so. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    The Pac-12 network is worth less than 1/4 what the Big 10 network is and less than 1/12 what the SEC network is. SEC Network remains overwhelming No. 1 conference TV network Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Probably. DirecTV is not going to waste their time and money adding new features to obsolete receivers (including the HR34). On the bright side, you can probably get a HR44, HR54, or the replacement for these when it comes out, for no cost other than a 2 year contract.

    True, but to get those channels a la cart, if it were even possible, would end up costing more than the current package does. There is a pretty good chance that there are many unique channels in the 33 channels I watch, the 90 channels Drucifer watches, and the 27 or 62 channels you watch...

    I am another over 60 computer savvy individual, and I have no need for those boxes, either. My TVs have built in apps for Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, etc, and I had been casting my phone to the TV for ESPN3. The app makes it much easier to watch ESPN3.

    I came up with 33 channels that we watch regularly, and of those, 10 are only watched for live sports. If it were not for sports, we would not have DirecTV. We average four movies per year and dropped all of the premium movie channels many years ago.

    I have never been able to see music. I listen to music, and as long as it is in stereo, that is good enough for me. I have never understood music videos.

    I am not sure why you are asking. A genie (HR44 or HR54) with a client gives you five tuners you can use from either TV (you can watch a different channel at each TV and record three more channels at the same time). Two regular HD receivers (H24 or H25) gives you one tuner at each TV but no...

    If you have your DirecTV receiver and TV set correctly, nothing should be stretched. Almost all movies made between 1930 and 1953 are 1.375:1 aspect ratio, which is far closer to 4:3 than it is to 16:9. Prior to 1930, they were 1.33:1, which is 4:3. I would not watch these movies stretched...

    It did not happen in Raleigh-Durham market, either. Since it appears to be an isolated problem, most likely it originated at the local station.

    That is your option. I, on the other hand, select channels based on what the channel is showing.

    I would not change providers over contract disputes since these disputes happen to all providers. Only the timing is of the disputes is different. On the whole, DirecTV does a pretty good job of resolving disputes. Outages are rare and short lived compared to some of the other providers.

    As long as you have the HR44, you must have Whole Home. If you want to get rid of the Whole Home fee, then you must get rid of the HR44 and the minis. You could keep the HR24s, and add H24s to replace the minis, but you would not be able to watch recordings except from the TVs that are...

    It appears that no one answered your original questions. On DirecTV, almost all retransmission agreements are reached before the station is ever taken off DirecTV. In the rare case where a local station is taken down, it is highly unusual for it to be gone for more than a few days. DirecTV...

    Maybe they would rather spend time with their families. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    I agree. I have never had a delay in downloading VOD content from DirecTV on three different receivers (HR21, HR24, and HR44), but others report major delays. I suspect the ISP is throttling the download speed for some. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    It must be Comcast. I can start the download and start watching immediately without buffering issues. Although I replaced my HR21 two months ago, even when I had the HR21 there was never a delay in watching VOD.. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    I understand why the number issue is an annoyance, but of all the potential problems, this is a minor inconvenience. Personally, I would prefer that they not change numbers at all. What I do not understand is why you feel that the + is important. Eventually, most channels will have VOD, so...

    For the same reason that in 1972 networks stopped announcing "in color" prior to a program, and later, they stopped saying "in stereo" and "SAP available". It is no longer a novelty. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
