I had issues this weekend, not being able to get in. I called, they said to go to www.directv.com/login and select create a new user id from the bottom of the screen. I then had to look at my AT&T/DirecTV and find the DirecTV account number, not the AT&T number plus couldn't use the same userID...

Noticed today that channel 104 is now saying ‘This channel is no longer available. We regret any inconvenience.’. Sorry to see it go, sometimes they had some real nice eye candy one there or a concert.

Probably isn’t costing them much if anything since they have programming staff there already. For customer service improvements you’re taking big bucks to bring call centers back to the US.

The point is they can lower their regular fuel price to help compete with the non-major brands by making up the lost revenue by increasing the premium prices.

No, not boat gas. IMHO they hike the price in premium so they can reduce the price of regular.

I try to use gas from ‘Top Tier’ stations since that’s what Lexus recommends, but within that I try to use Gas Buddy to find those stations with the cheapest price. The wife’s car requires premium and some stations charge .90 cents more than regular, a spread that’s out of line IMHO.

Well, this really sucks for us folks with HS17's, have that nice USB port on the back but can't use an AM21 or LCC to get OTA channels. I still have an AM21 laying around in the closet, maybe I should see about swapping the HS17 out for an HR54. Not only save the $12 but also get the ability to...

All I know is the showings here at the theater I use have been close to sell out for all showings.

Well it hit our locals so yep knew about it.

I'd live to see the post mortem on this incident.

Maybe they'll start to use all those reverse band transponders if the sat is gone for good. I just hope they don't do like when HD first came out on D* and go to HD lite to fit all the missing channels in the bandwidth remaining.

My two cents, while both the C41W and C61W work the UI experience is much better with the C61W, couldn’t even tell it was a wireless client.

For new unsold units or also do it for the ones people already have? If they do that I can see a class action happening.

Since DIRECTV decided that supporting either the old AM21 or the newer LCC for integrating local channels via OTA, like the prior STB's did, if they drop locals I drop DIRECTV. Yes I have other ways to get our locals but not a fan of having to go to multiple places to view programming since the...

Don't you need to also call DIRECTV to have them change the account to use the MAC address of whatever network connection you're using? Last I knew the Genie's look at the MAC address of the clients to see if they're authorized for the account and the wireless and wired adapters each have their...
