Time Warner is raising prices again so I'm strongly considering a move to Directv. The current whole house & sunday ticket offer is looking pretty attractive. I do have a few concerns.

1) My house is on the market so I could be moving next month, next year or who knows. How easy is it to move Directv service? Is there a cost or extension of contract?

2)What ISP do most Directv subs use around here? I see that bundling may be a possiblity

3)Any other pitfalls to watch out for?

:mad: My 1st 8300HD died today. Of course this had to happen when it was over 70 precent full, including the Lost premiere. :bang:

I swung by Mayfair & got a 8300HDC. If only replacing my recordings was so easy.

There's complete guide data on 531 for the first time ever but the colorbars are still there. Are they preparing to be an actual fulltime channel?

This is a nice feature but a better feature would be to my have SDV channels work consistently.

These 2 channels are nothing but a black screen for me. They seem to be the only 2 with the issue. The SD versions are up & running.

Isn't it bad enough we have to watch Detroit when the Pack game is at commerical?  We get stuck with SD too??

Anyone else having issues? DD never switches off but the volume is all over the place.

..to Sunday afternoon thanks to the Packer broadcast. 1pm according to the TWC guide, IIRC.

Anyone know if they'll be in HD?
