    I agree with this to the extent that be willing to walk if your bluff gets called. In case you missed it read my message a few posts up from here. AT&T is, IMO, destroying the D* that we once knew and loved.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I had directly contacted D* each of the last two years and warned them that future rate hikes were unacceptable. Last year I cut from Premier to Ultimate and this year I will cut again and look to get out entirely once my contract expires n the Spring.

    We hope you are enjoying your television service and want to thank you for your business. With DIRECTV now part of the AT&T family, we now have more opportunities to deliver an entertainment experience like no other. Exceeding all your expectations is at the core of everything we do. And we...
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I called a few days ago to see when my contract is expired (March, 2016) and the offshore rep, something I didn't experience prior to AT&T taking over, sent me to another department. That person, who spoke English as a first language, used to work in Retention and the department has been...

    I will not pay extra for Pac-12. If AT&T doubts me, watch me. It will be cord-cutting city for me.
  6. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I live well within Pac-12 country and I will leave if I am forced to pay their rates as part of my subscription. I am unhappy enough with the constant rate increases due to channel padding by distributors & by AT&T now having the keys to the door. It won't take much to send me to cord-cutting...
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I live in the Phoenix metro area. Two weeks or so ago I needed to upgrade from a SWM-8 and made arrangements with D* for them to install a SWM-16. On installation day, precisely on time I might add, a D* truck shows up but he has a SWM-13 LNB (DSWM) instead for installation instead of the...
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have a Genie (HR44-200) and am very happy with it. It is faster than the HR24-200. The one problem that I had, which now seems resolved, is wireless networking. Mine now seems to be working fine.
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    And who is subsidizing a market entry that no other company is interested in serving?
  10. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Where, depending on which city, Google Fiber entering the market is a distinct possibility. They are in discussions with Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Now that the sale is official I will be out of here as soon as one of the following occurs, 1) AT&T screws me over (again); 2) My contract expires; 3) Google Fiber is installed; or, PRISM is installed and I use that until Google Fiber arrives. My days as a subscriber are now numbered and I...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    "Bundling is at the heart of AT&T's desire to acquire DirecTV's satellite service." Well then AT & T may really be screwed because there seems to be a lot of us that have been screwed over by AT & T in the past and there is no way we would bundle a cat box cleaning service with AT & T. As in...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I will be so out of here as soon as my commitment is complete, especially since Google Fiber may well be coming here. AT & T will perhaps learn that putting out junky products in the name of shareholder revenue can come back and bite you in the rear end at some point in time.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I would consider leaving at my first viable opportunity if that happened.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    After reading comments here I tunes in WN yesterday and let it run for hours. Basically it reminded me of TWC 10-15 years ago, and that isn't bad. As I wrote a few pages back I can't and won't get all worked up about TWC. Months ago I wrote to Mike White and told him that I am not paying for...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I understand what you are saying but disagree with the premise. I live in Arizona. Because of the rights dispute with the PAC-12 Network I have been unable to see any PAC-12 sports that I might want to see. However, prior to TWC dispute, I had made DTV aware that I was not going to pay higher...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I agree on the HR24-200. Mine has always been rock solid.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I, for one, hopes that D* doesn't cave in. Why? Because caving continues to set a bad precedent and D* still has expensive infrastructure to pay off and if the net bill to customers gets too high then they will leave and further cut the number of subscribers that help pay for that...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Why should D* pay anything for something that Viacom routinely gives away for free?
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Wasn't Versus in the Fall of 2010? Hockey was wiped out for awhile.
