  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I assume that although your grandmother wanted her obligations paid, she would have preferred that the money go to her heirs where her estate was not required to pay. As executor, I hope you pushed back to ensure you were only making payments where there was a real obligation, and that the...
  2. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I'm located about 35 miles away from the TV transmitters in my area. I have received digital signals using cheap rabbit ears available for less than $20 from Radio Shack or Walmart. In case of emergency, if cable is out or sat dish is blown out of alignment, it is helpful to have OTA as a backup.

    Glad that it worked out for you. But I don't agree that you "beat" the landlord. The landlord is providing accommodations to allow you to put the dish on the roof. The landlord is not obligated to do this, so it is really a case of a landlord going beyond the requirements to keep tenants...

    Interesting. When I cancelled DirecTV several years ago, I told them I would stay if they offered me a no-commitment upgrade to HD. They refused ... insisting any change would trigger a 2-year commitment. So I have no-commitment service from Comcast. I am happier with the service and the price...

    Your commitment is up in 20 days, and you want to cancel early? What's the rush? Why not just wait 3 weeks and then cancel after you are out of the commitment?

    Looks like she won in the settlement too. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/05/09/toy-yoda.htm David Noll, her attorney, said Wednesday that he could not disclose the settlement's details, although he said Berry can now go to a local car dealership and "pick out whatever type of Toyota...
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I cancelled DirecTV about 3-1/2 years ago. When I called to cancel, they didn't give me any great offers to retain me. After I cancelled, they offered me the sun and the moon to get me back. Within days of cancelling, I was receiving 2-3 offers a week to get me to come back. I still get the...

    Heinz makes tomato ketchup. There are lots of ways you can get Heinz Ketchup. You can buy it from a local supermarket like Safeway, Wegmans, or Stop & Shop. You can also buy it from big box stores like Walmart, Kmart, Target, or Costo. Kmart has a very expensive infrastructure which makes...

    So, in looking for a backstory on this video, I came across this article ( http://www.cachevalleydaily.com/news/local/Social-media-can-help-or-hurt-job-hunters-141468343.html ) which talks about how Travis Chambers (the husband in the video) lost a job opportunity because of something posted on...

    I'm more interested in how he is managing to pan back and forth with the camera while speeding down the highway
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    YakeVlad -- I understand your frustration, but I think it is somewhat misplaced. Certainly DirecTV is in business to make money, but they do that by selling services at a fair value to customers. If customers do not think the price is fair, or if they think the service is subpar, or...

  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I switched from DirecTV to Comcast about 3 years ago when I made the switch from SD to HD. For me, a couple of differences: * Comcast customer service is far superior to DirecTV customer service. I only had one billing error with Comcast, which was quickly resolved. My customer service...

    You're right. It is a lamp.

    Probably for the same reason that you drive on the parkway and park on the driveway.

    So you are saying that this is an intentional bait-and-switch tactic? :nono2:
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    How much speed can he justify? He already selected Verizon DSL and ordered a package which included the .5-1Mbps internet access bundled with telephone and DirecTV. So that is what he justified. If that meets his needs, there is no reason for him to spend more money. If it doesn't meet his...
