  1. DIRECTV Programming
    Wow, I didn't even see the 8-10 weeks bit. So it takes 3 months to get your money back? This just seems to be such a terrible experience. I thought I would use it when I got the email and thought it would be nice to get a free movie but I've got zero interest in paying $6 to watch a movie on...
  2. DIRECTV Programming
    So, I get an email today about a free movie available online. OK, seems reasonable, but the fine print says its $6 then you have to do a stupid mail-in rebate. Come on D*, really? You've got to make people jump through hoops to watch a "free" movie that also says "We're in beta, so we're...
  3. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm looking to save the fees on the extra 2 receivers I have (3 total, 1 DVR). Is there an easy way to set things up so that every room is running off a single receiver? I've got a HR24-500 and two H23-600s. I can't remember exactly how its hooked up in the back room at the moment. Just...
  4. DIRECTV Programming
    I was calling in trying to get just that and she said she couldn't do it. I could have called back again but dealing with moron CSRs a 3rd time doesn't sound appealing, either. I'll most likely be switching once my contract is done in a year. Either that or DTV had better make the red zone...
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    My God the CSRs are a trainwreck. First time I get Russian guy that has no idea what football even is. Now I get some chick who sounded reasonable at first but put me on hold for 15 minutes trying to figure it out then offered me $50 off and said that was the max she could do, then had to put...
  6. DIRECTV Programming
    They are morons. I tried to get a discount from a CSR with a Russian accent and he barely even know what the NFL ST was.......recited some script then said that it was included but I know it isn't. The CSRs are getting worse.
  7. DIRECTV Programming
    They put them together for a reason - because MOST people don't care about them, its just an easy way to screw people. They did the exact same thing with HD.
  8. DIRECTV Programming
    Its the only part of the $100 package that most people will use. I'd be happy to pay $20 for only the red zone channel as I'm sure most people would be but you can't rip people off for more money if you do that.
  9. DIRECTV Programming
    It seems that DTV is up to its old tricks. The Red Zone channel is not $100 anywhere else but they are trying to rip people off just like they did with the $100 charge for HD that people were upset about. Stop trying to screw people over already. I believe the Dish RZ channel is something...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Thanks, I figured it was a dumb question. The weird thing is that I've been using it since last Saturday and it wasn't happening. Then I used it tonight and it started. Threw me off as to why it would start now.
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm sure there is some obvious reason for it but I just got an HD DVR last week and now when I press Select to tune to a specific channel it gives me the 'dunn' type of sound. Its not a beep, but the deeper pitch feedback. I've never had this on any of my other receivers. I could just reset...
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    Yep, that part sucks. I don't plan on canceling anyway unless Dish gets their act together with the Twins games (many were not even available this year) and whatnot. They are always behind and others like Charter are unimpressive.
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    Yeah, I know, but I don't have a DVR right now and it would be nice. I've had the credits before but I thought free was a pretty good price........
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    Just called in and got $25 off per month for the NFLST Free to-go $5 off the DVT/Whole house fees for 24 months Free HD DVR (I don't currently have one) Not sure if that is the 'max' you can get but I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I dislike is signing a new 2 year contract. Barf. I...
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    So, the big question.......is anyone getting deals on the ticket yet? I don't have a contract (been with DTV about 4 years) and I'd like to either get the new customer deal or a significant portion of the price discounted.
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    60 days...........yeah, half the movies that come out already have a DVD release date at that point. Big waste of money. Try 14 days.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That is so stupid, though. I already get FSN-North (668), so why should I have to pay for even more channels I don't need when I already get FSN, which is where Twins games are. Its not a big deal, I'd just occasionally like to see the post-game presser, like last night where Gardy was...
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Why are the post-game shows blacked out?
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That is hard to believe when Netflix, Blockbuster, and others can deliver a physical disc for less than a digital PPV stream. The studios set the prices but I don't see how it can be any more than other avenues.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I guess I don't get it. Why the hell would anyone in the world of Netflix/Blockbuster monthly plans pay $6 for one movie when you can get a ton of movies for not much more. DirecTV needs to get with the times. I was willing to pay $4 (which I thought it would be) but $6 is stupid. Yeah, its...
