    The award for the douchiest, least helpful poster goes to.....
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    OK, now I'm thinking instead of cutting the cord completely I could go on a 6 month on/6 month off (suspend account) schedule. Because of my love of football and the requirement to be active 6 months of the year, I figure I could suspend from March thru August, then activate my account from...

    Is there a recommended approach regarding removing the coax before calling to suspend? If I read your post right, if I do that can I still watch recorded programs?

    BTW, my OTA is up and running with very strong signals. Just a matter of getting the DVR. When you suspend service, do they make you renew any commitment when you resume service? Also, do they treat you better for Sunday Ticket if I were to cancel now and come on as a "new" customer for the...

    I'll stick around to keep up, because I'll probably just suspend at first and see how it goes. I'm not out of contract for another month anyway. I have a feeling I'll be back for Sunday Ticket, especially if they give incentives. It's tough to let go of something I've actually fought for to...

    My "go to" live event channels are ESPNNews, CNN, and Palladia. I will miss them.
  7. DIRECTV Programming
    I'm looking at the low end Roamio, which I would be getting as a birthday gift. So I would lay out the lifetime fee (I'm exploring a code that knocks $100 off) which I figure would take 4 to 5 months until I'm free and clear. Haven't had a chance to explore the AVS link yet but will. Looking...

    I wanted a DVR that records OTA, and Tivo seems to do the trick. That would be enough content for me, supplemented with Hulu and/or Netflix. This assumes dropping DirecTV.

    This charge just showed up for Chicago RSN. Called up twice to complain and they said there was no way to remove it. Straw that broke the camels back for me.
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    Suspend may be the way to go. I want to avoid the hassle of disconnecting and boxing up receivers, and of course installation appointmentas. I enjoy NHL hockey, but can get that elsewhere. I would be satisfied with local network coverage of college football. I don't really care about the...
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    I've been with DirecTV for 18 years, but honestly Sunday Ticket is what has kept me around. I am thinking of getting most of my programming with OTA and possibly a Tivo OTA DVR (supplemented by Hulu and/or Netflix). My commitment is up next month. Couple of questions - are you able to put...
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    Am I the only one who had problems on this channel today? No video (frozen about 1 minute in) but I'm listening to audio now. I recorded the game and started about 2 hours in. Checked other Sunday Ticket channels and they're all coming in. No weather issues here. Didn't see anyone else...
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    OK, maybe not a directv programming related question. But with Sunday Ticket I thought I'd ask anyway. Besides, the promo code directv got me a discount! Anyway, in previous seasons I was able to mirror the preseason games from my iPad to my big screen by using their streaming AirPlay...
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Nice add. Although I had already built my series links over the course of a year, so when the shows come back on they'll get automatically picked up. But I like it - especially if I ever have hard drive issues, I won't have to wait for all my shows to actually show up in the guide before I...

    Nah, I just made nice and asked if my account was eligible for any promotions to help. They also told me to call back in a few months to get the Ticket for free:)

    Retention. I don't speak to front line CSR's anymore. Just say cancel/ cancel at the voice prompts to get connected directly to retention.
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    NHL games are back on for me.
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    Game just came on for me. Missed the 1st period.
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    I got a $5 per month credit to offset the package price.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Just got a Mac mini with mountain lion, and noticed media share is no longer available on my HR34. I've always been a PC guy, so not sure what steps I might need to take to get that back up and running with a Mac?
