  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    While I agree with folks who said that if you are to a point where you can't afford it then it is time to move on. At the same time I somewhat agree with the OP. I canceled in June after 21 years and really didn't want to. I liked what I was getting programming-wise but I was over inferior...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Had it from July 2001 until 3 days ago (6/18/23). Btw for anyone curious they offered me exactly nothing to stay. All they wanted to do was drop my number of receivers and/or lower my package to help reduce costs/correct my complaint over aging equipment
  3. DIRECTV Programming
    The bolded part was my same experience with calling them although my dude said he was escalating because he could tell by looking at it that it was wrong and it should be $19.99 X3
  4. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Update: Shortly after the above I had a nightmare with a Genie Mini I got through Solid Signal (getting stuff through Solid Signal is a whole new level of convulted drama these days but that is a story for anothe thread) I called Rentention/Loyalty begging someone to help me as I was getting...
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have been with Drectv since 2001 and ave never receved a credit for anything, ever. They wouldnt even give me partial credit for the Genie mini I bought out of pocket. Last month I called looking for ways to reduce my bill. I have subscribed to Premier/Platinum/whatever it is called now...

    FINALLY! My CW (KMYS) is back https://www.multichannel.com/news/at-t-signs-retrans-pact-with-deerfield-media
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    For the first time since 2001 I have started shopping other carriers and that is directly tied to AT&T's ownership. Under Directv's ownership it never once crossed my mind.

    Oh I know. I was just hoping the Sinclair deal would be the first domino setting off the others.
  9. DIRECTV Programming
    This is getting kind of old. I was sure with the Sinclair deal that we'd ultimately get all of the sidecars back. No one seems to be in too much of a hurry here
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    That was an over exaggeration. The point still stands
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    My thought was that without AT&T they lose out in billions in carriage fees (they are also fighting with DISH and have losses there too). If I have to switch to an antenna to get my locals then Sinclair definitely loses because I can see their newtorks without a carrier and therefore without...
  12. DIRECTV Programming
    I have to believe - and I could be totally naive - that AT&T has all of the power here. Sinclair has way too much to lose to not make a deal. If the networks go dark it would piss me off for sure but they are my locals. I CAN get them with an antenna. I dont want to have to do that but I...
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    At this point I will take what I can get. This impacts my NBC and my FOX (Sinclair O&O) and I am hoping it will bring back my CW (Sinclair owned/Deerfield operated) but NBC/FOX is the bigger issue.
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    It only affects my CW network but I keep hoping that since it includes some NBCs in other markets we might have resolution by NFL opening day. I know where to find my CW shows through other means but I would much prefer to record them on my DVR. Antenna signal is spotty for that channel so...
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    In my time I only ever remember the OLN outage and the Viacom one years ago. There may have been some locals in other aras that may not have affected me but 2 memorable outages in almost 20 years is little enough to say "never", understanding that is an exaggeration.
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    If they go dark this might finally be the nail in the coffin for me. Ive already lost my CW due to the Deefield Media (sub of Sinclair) dispute. If I lose the other 2 Sinclair networks (NBC and Fox) I'll have to jump ship. Over the past (almost) 20 years the one thing I could count on was...
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Mine has my HR54 listed as a Wireless Genie Mini but other than that mine are correct What sucks about that is that since you are supposed to be able to refresh a receiver you cant be sure that what you did actually went through
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I have been getting the same error with OnDemand. I also get "Cannot connect to Directv" trying to restart a show on all of my reviewers (1 HR54 plus 3 HR24s). Have reset everything and changed out all cabling. They all say they are connected to the internet but interestingly when I go to...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I did and a 4 digit passcode They killed my online profile on the backend and created a new one
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Three hours (total)...........two chat conversations and a 1 hour phone call I am finally able to see my account again.....with a whole new login. I guess I will take what I can get but I had that login as long as Directv has had an online presence almost.
