  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Am21 runs $25-$50 on eBay.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    With DirecTV since about 1996. I was on the (Time Warmer) internet Monday looking for a possible ATT/Uverse-DTV package. They really do not seem to be integrated yet. Strangely I got a call from TW retention dept the next day offering a triple play deal that would save me about $1200 for the...
  3. TV Show Talk
    Up through the fifties, much of southern and western rural America was stll a poor, subsistant environment. I can remember as a child visiting Appalachian relatives with no indoor plumbing or electricity. The show did not seem unrealistic to me then.
  4. TV Show Talk
    Guess I have to agree with critics or else just too much of this genre.
  5. TV Show Talk
    Nothing too original about it and some the veteran supporting cast do not seem in the groove yet. However Tea Leoni is just great and makes it worth watching. I just hope some people's preconceptions don't hurt viewership. Maybe the conspiracy sub theme will be attractive them.
  6. Internet Streaming Services
    "New Releases" on Netflix is an oxymoron. There are viewers who can watch reruns and movies over and over but I am not one of them. This was not the case before the studios gutted Netflix but now it is. We have Amazon prime for the free shipping but their content is no better. I will probably...

    I started to make a $300 purchase on Amazon yesterday and saw they were charging me about an extra $25 for NC sales tax. I then got the same item direct from the OEM for same price with free shipping and no sales tax. The sales tax thing will probably spread but takes a lot of the motivation out...

    Do you have a link? I did not see half off deal on their site.
  9. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I do not see way it an issue. It is all coming through the same cable. It is all digital bits. Bits is bits, either Internet or cable. If I can watch five different shows at my home via cable then a bar can stream five different football games. Of course the simple answer is for Direct to also...
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    SkyNews has a good feed on Roku currently but international news channels come and go there. They had AJA until it went live on Directv then it was removed. Maybe a contract issue with Direct.
  11. IPTV Hardware
    I have 3 Rokus and a big fan but too many people think they are getting free cable for under a hundred bucks. There is no free lunch! It is more like a simplified way to stream video podcasts to your TV. If you are a cable cutter Netflix or Amazon Prime offer a lot of options for viewing past...
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I started getting this message also with my Toshiba TV and HR21. However then the show would start okay. I only have one output from the HR21. Must be something new going on.
  13. TV Show Talk
    There was something about his personality that pulled us in and gave hope to we men who do not look like Brad Pitt. He will be missed.
  14. Local Reception
    No RF transmitters are perfect and can generate some harmonics. Band pass filters were a common cure for SD TVs and should work for HD as well.
  15. TV Show Talk
    We will just laugh when we see reruns where they have to sneak samples of DNA.

    The cable companies are not threatened by the Internet... They own it! It does not matter which pocket they put the money in. Might be a different story for DBS providers though.
  17. TV Show Talk
    I really, really wanted to like this show but the quality has gone downhill. It is just "take three junkers off roading" week after week. Cheap to produce I guess. There are still some good gearhead shows on and a great car culture in this country but many series have wandered into reality TV...
  18. TV Show Talk
    I'm in. Quality kind of caught me by surprise. Murderous Commie main characters may put some watchers off though! I guess we can cheer for them to slowly come over to our side.
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    It is not really a problem for us. I can get the network shows on demand from my Roku box. A laptop with a HDMI cable would work also. I would think these stations made pretty good money from political advertising this year.
  20. TV Show Talk
    I am guessing this all relates to Hester's salary issues with A&E from last year. Now he has to tell all the kiddies that there is no Santa Claus. At least his persona is not faked.
