Anybody else having DirecTV problems?

Assuming you're using the most recent version of the remote, after you punch in the channel number hit the ENTER button at the bottom right corner.

 

I had to reset mine last night.

DirecTV is so, so, so much better than cable. But then again, once Fios is dug on my street, DirecTV will be history. When you call Verizon about Fios, they will reccomend DirecTV.

What I have...
(TV1)HDDVR
(TV2)HD
Sports package on both
HD package for both
I think we get the 150 channel plan (ESPNU + News)
(TV3)regular service on crappy bedroom TV for my wife
Plus land line with free long distance and voice mail.

I think it totals $134 a month. Wife handles the money.

 

Macs rule!
Dell sucks!

 

I have no idea what this even means. You'll switch to Fios even though the company in charge of Fios tells you to get DirecTV? That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement.

 

Verizon owns Fios, and since the Fios service is not available where I live, Verizon has an agreement with DirecTV to reccomend them. I get a deal on the phone line with the DirecTV hookup.

I hope that helps?

 

My DTV contract is up in December. Any and all advice about getting extra goodies out of them (sports pack comes to mind) is more than welcome.

 

dayum... 110 a month is out of my park

 

Wife makes good money.

 

You can get it cheaper. I don't have the $12 sports pack and still get ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, Classic, FSN South, SportsSouth, an extra blank channel that picks up the Braves games on PeachtreeTV, Versus, Speed, Golf Channel, NFL Network, Big 10 network (including all the extra spillover channels for when there are multiple games on at the same time) Basically all I'm missing from the pay tier that I would care about are NHL Network and ESPNU (I'll have to bite the bullet next fall.)

If you took away that, the extra HD channels (again, you still get HD locals and duplicates of the regular channels), and Setanta, you've already lowered the price to just under $80/mo. And that's before any rebates or special offers, which are plentiful. If DirecTV were a hockey team, JR would accuse it of papering the house.
