DirecTV Rocks!

I had 10X the outages with TWC than I've had with DTV.

I don't have cable anymore just Roadrunner.  But I get downed internet problems probably once every 2 weeks.  Usually only lasts an hour or less but nevertheless its very annyoying>

Or in my case, I use the snow against itself. I just make a few snow balls and toss them up and smack the dish with them. So far, it's knocked the snow off every time. You don't wanna throw too hard and knock the dish out of alignment, but as long as its a good tight install, you should be fine.

There's always a better idea!

Ha! I love it. I'm off to Walmart to pick one of those puppies up.

I had the first attempted install of my new DirectTv system tonight and the tech couldn't find a good line of sight except for on my detached garage. He said the signal up there was "96%" which I assume is okay. The only problem was that it was already 8pm and he said they would have to have other equipment to connect the wiring from the garage to the house. Doh!

I have rescheduled for Tuesday so I am crossing my fingers they can get it set up then. The NFL regular season is quickly approaching! -aaron

I've always had good experiences with D*. When I call them I talk to someone within minutes. When my equipment fails they replace it quickly and when I get an upgrade the installers are professional and courteous. Before I had D* I had cable. I really had no major problems with them until I upgraded to a 50" big screen TV (that was 12 years ago). The picture quality at that time was just terrible so I've been with D* ever since.

I'd love to know how to get these "anniversary" gifts ... I've been with Directv for, geez, over 10 years and I can't recall getting anything from them. Oh, wait, they did give me SuperFan free last year ... but it's on the bill this year.

OK DirecTV fans, do they offer anything comparable to Dish Network's Welcome Pack, which is 20 channels for $14.95 a month?  If they could give me just Comedy Central, they would truly rock.  Of course then they would probably be out of business too.

The only way to get anything free from DirecTV is threaten (politely) to leave after your contract is up.  I used to take advantage of my expired contract when I had DirecTV. Now it will take two years instead of one.
