    That's what I'll be doing from now on, minus the check writing. DTV says a rep will be calling me shortly.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    This is 2013. I don't even have a checkbook. I'm 28 years old and have never written a check in my entire life. I don't sift through mail and write out checks and mail them. I enroll in auto-pay which pays my bills automatically regardless of the amount, or what service is about to renew without...

    That's what I was thinking. Their deal is worth millions and million. I've never, ever ordered a sports package before in over 10 years and have never had to deal with this before. I didn't order it this time, either. I just assumed it was a bonus of signing up. When the NFL season was over I...

    I guess I should read the entire 305 page Apple/iTunes agreement just in case...

    I can't believe they would rather lose a customer who pays about $1200 a year for their services over a matter of a little more than $100 in charges.

    I signed up for service last year and took the Ultimate package which included NFL Sunday ticket for free. I don't watch Football, never have, so I didn't care for it. Since then I downgraded to Xtra in order to keep the bill around what I was paying for Ultimate after the promotion and rebate...

    Good point. I don't watch much local TV though. I'm usually watching cable networks. It turns out the telethon was not on, so I'm able to watch my left turns at home.

    I said in my post that I would not be buying a DTV antenna. It's a 4 hour race, so that would be rediculous. I planned on having a bunch of neighbors over here for beers and the race, so that sucks. Moving the party to one of their houses instead.. Thanks for the leaderboard links. I follow a...

    My local FOX affiliate (WXXA) airs a telethon this weekend annually. They move the NASCAR race to their digital side channel, which DirecTV does not carry. Am I completely out of luck, or can I call them and request one of the east/west feeds turned on for me temporarily? If hotpass were still...

    I've been watching alot of FOX News the past week. I've noticed the anchor going to break and teasing the upcoming story before being abruptly cut off by the commercial a few seconds early. This occurs on all my tv's with two different receivers. This has to be an issue with them sending their...

    I'm not sure how satellite TV does it, but whether or not you see or hear these tests depends on if it is Weekly or Monthly in some cases. Weekly tests are initiated by the local station and air only on that station. Monthly tests are triggered by a primary station that all the other stations in...
  12. TV Show Talk
    Sharing the gold is between them and Todd & Co. I still talk to one of network reps I had to deal with at Discovery Communications in my TV days. They are all under contract with Discovery. They get a flate rate per episode that they appear in. This includes the crew members you don't see much...
  13. TV Show Talk
    Keep in mind that this is a TV show. Discovery pays for alot of things, and the show also has several sponsors that pay for things. Do you notice all the new F-350's with lift kits, huge off road tires, and suspension they've been driving around? Ford paid for those. Jack and Todd were paid...

    I can't believe people still pay for that programming, especially with the amount of free content (in HD as well) available on reputable porn sites. Speaking of which, the porn industry in general needs to understand that a 40-year old woman with pigtails, knee high pink socks and a C-section...

    The standard commercial break, even for sitcoms used to be 2:30. Now, they squeeze in much more by showing the closing credits at lightening speed and cutting out the opening themes. They even cut away the :30 "throwaway gag" most shows used to have at the very end. Cable networks are notorious...
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    It updated every 15 minutes with a location, all of them on the east coast. One year it stayed on right until 10am the next day and said "Albany" at 7am. NORAD would say he's in Russia while this channel would say boston. I'm sure one of the news channels will be "tracking santa". I'll have to...

    Will DirecTV have a special Yule Log channel? Also, the kids love the Santa Tracker channel that Time Warner offers. When I had Time Warner last year, they had it up on their info channel starting at about 7pm Xmas eve. What ticked me off is that the tracker channel was automatically cut off...

    Where would one find these mapping sheets?

    2 or more catheter commercials at once!

    Called to downgrade to Choice Xtra today since my 3 month introductory free HBO, Showtime, etc. ran out. The CSR said that as of today, they are offering "Exede 12" satellite internet. I told the lady I'm paying $43 a month (promo plan) for Roadrunner Turbo, which is 20mb down/2 up. She had no...
