  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    AT&T just charged me $7 on my suspended account. I suspended it for 6 months and am using YouTube TV until NFL ST starts. When I called to get the charge removed, the CSR said that is what they charge per month for a suspended account. Is anyone else paying $7/mo for their suspended account?
  2. DIRECTV Connected Home
    I think the "Watch On Phone", is a nice feature that on the DIRECTV Android App. The problem is, that the DIRECTV App doesn't work when I'm on WIFI. I can occasional get it to work on my carriers 4G, but that is hit and miss, since it uses a lot of bandwidth. I'm using a Google Galaxy Nexus...
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Didn't know where to post this, so I picked the General Discussion. Wondering why DBSTalk is listed as a "Dangerous Site" on McAfee's Site Advisory?
  4. DIRECTV Programming
    Well it looks like the NHL CI pricing is out, $171.80. My current statement had this disclaimer on it:
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    Finally found the TV schedule for preseason games on NFL Network: NFL NETWORK SCHEDULE FOR 2012 PRESEASON GAMES (ALL TIMES EASTERN) Pro Football Hall of Fame Game Sunday, August 5 8:00 PM – Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints – LIVE Week 1 Thursday, August 9 12 Midnight – Denver...
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I'm having an issue with the DIRECTV website showing half in English and half in Spanish. Does anyone know how to correct this? Tried calling DIRECTV, but 2 different CSR's were no help. Here is what the screen looks like:
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Tried to log into the DIRECTV website this morning and it just goes to a blank white screen. Thought it might just be a Firefox issue, since i just downloaded the newest version. Then I tried Chrome and IE, but same issue. Cleared all browser history, still won't come up. I can use my...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    When I replaced my HR22 with an HR34, I had to recreate a Smart Search to Autorecord my Sabres hockey games. I used the same boolean string as before: AALL SABRES HDTV CCHAN 638 639 (with ALL & ALL) When I set it up about 2 weeks ago, I created the Series Link for this with "Episode Type"...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm really enjoying the features of the HR34 and glad to once again have PIP. It's one of the reason I decided to upgrade to it. Two of my flat screen TV's can actually do PIP w/o an HR34 and I used it quite a bit when I had cable and a cable card to feed the PIP. When I switched to DIRECTV...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Well, after 3+ years of reliability, I'm starting to have issues with the picture freezing and DVR locking up. I live in the Dallas market, have a SWiM LNB and the latest HD GUI 0x59e. It may be coincidental, but this starting happening after turning on non supported MRV. One of my HR 22's...
  11. Sports Programming and Events
    With the change that happened, I find myself watching NBC Sports a lot more then I watched Versus. They just seem to have programming that is more interesting to me. The sports coverage seems to be more mainstream and they really improved the NHL coverage. Plus the HD picture quality seems so...
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    I really like the 4 window game mix they are now using for the late games. The size makes the picture large enough that you can actually watch all 4 games. Now I wish they would split the 8 window game mix for the early games, into 2 game mix channels with 4 windows.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I suspended my account back in May, because there is a lull between the NHL CI season and the NFL ST season. I figured it was a waste money, since we mainly watch network programming, when there is no NFL or NHL. I also thought of it as a way to boycott DIRECTV price increases, but with Dougs...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It seems odd to me that DIRECTV keeps raising prices every year. I guess it's to cover those rising costs of renewing contracts with the different networks. Isn't that the argument? I'm just wondering if there might be a different reason. It's interesting to note that their stock rose 90%...
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I was reading this article on PCMag.com about the future of TV and it made me wonder, what happens to companies like DIRECTV in this scenario? Its a long way off, but the last 20 years went by pretty fast for me. Here is a [link] to the article.
