Oh boy, ... Yikes!, .... forgot about College Football .... Also got USC fans here who have been waiting a long time when they were part of the Pac-10 and DIRECTV never picked up that RSN. And are now ecstatic to finally get see them now on the BTN since they moved to that conference. Sign...

YTTV is what I'm strongly leaning toward... But you hit on one of the main hangups I'm having trying to convince others to break with DIRECTV, "the RSN" problem. As there're Lakers and Dodgers fans here. And asking me if YTTV can get Spectrum Sportsnet and Sportsnet LA? Sent from my SM-S928U...

The problem is finding something that can deliver the service comparable to our rather large home installation of 8 receivers (an HR54 Genie, 4 HR24s and 3 mini clients. And the "FAF" (Family Acceptance Factor) and learning curves required to move on to something else. When after all these...

Oh OK, thanks ... Ugh .... And I see with a $2 increase in the RSF and $1 for PP, that's $12 total so far. Man... three increases in just the past 21 months you say? Well, needless to say, after 29 straight years (since Sep. '95) we're going to have to seriously consider finally leaving...

Sorry folks, but been away from this for a long time and sort of lost touch on the latest goings-on. .... So what happened to the old annual price increase schedule that regularly took place in Feb. of the new year? Or is that outdated for when DIRECTV was under AT&T? And we have DIRECTV...

No, he means the opposite... If you have ESPN+ as a part of your Disney bundle frim Verizon. You don't get the ESPN linear broadcast channels like ESPN, ESPNU, and ESPN2. .... Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

Hey, a question. ... I'm currently paying $11.99/mo. already for Paramount+ on our andriod/IOS streaming devices. Is this now (or will be) called "Showtime with Paramount+" too? And on the DIRECTV account, which is in my brother's name. We have Showtime added ala cart for $12.99/mo., which is...

Interesting how local KDOC 56 carrying the religious "TCT" channel here in the LA market has recently been removed. With a slide directing viewers to channel 377 for (what I guess) a main national feed of the same programming from what I can tell. Whereas I would think it should be the other...

H&I 385 as also on here in the LA Market as well in addition to MeTV's local outlet KVME 20 (Although 385 is the east coast feed). So I guess this contract agreement with MeTV is different than the one for MeTV on ch. 77 which is blacked-out here and must be viewed on local KAZA 54. Sent from...

Yeah ... MeTV on satellite ch. 77 is indeed grayed-out here in LA since it's carried on our local KAZA 54. At least the west coast network feed is, whereas ch. 77 appears to be east coast. .... Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

I remember DIRECTV allowed any local HD channels they carried to be received in HD on R22s with SD accounts in MPEG-4 local markets. But that was all .... Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

They're flat out wrong ... The HR22 is both MPEG-2/4 capable, and has been from its inception many years ago now. Just out of curiosity though, what box are they offering you to upgrade to? Considering that even their last non-Genie STB, the HR24, is hard to find nowadays.... Sent from my...

Have an Echo 5 and 8 here ... And while I find that Google Voice Assistance actually works better. For obvious reasons being the competitive service, it really won't work with our ring security cameras. Therefore the need for the Amazon voice assistance based Echoes. ...

I suppose you obviously meant that it's HD on ch. 279 (OWN) not 347 (OAN) ....

Or for the more "technically exacting" to compliment gct's informative post [emoji5] ... At 101W, D9S supplies 44 local spotbeam tps. distributed over 26 spotbeams to CONUS. And D16 supplies 26 nationwide tps. on two fully overlapping CONUS + AK wide beams (13 odd numbered tps. on one beam and...
