    DirecTv won't give me any deal. I may be forced to go to the Dish Network.

    Because I never had a programming package. I guess the best I can hope for is to get a discount off the NFL Sunday Ticket...........doubtful though I would get one.

    DirecTv won't give me any deal. I may be forced to go to the Dish Network.

    I have to say I am really disappointed in DirecTV. I have been a DirecTv for at least 10 years, BUT have only ever had NFL Sunday Ticket. I have only had cable and NFL Sunday Ticket. I have never taken advantage of any special package deals. I called DirecTV to see if I was eligible for the...

    Need help with a replacement Receiver.

    I bought the original (I think) DirecTv receiver / dish combo that Walmart had years ago - 1997? It is a RCA brand and the model number is DRD303RA and it uses the Access Card: 4. My son put his sippy on top of the receiver and it dripped juice inside and fried it - it won't even turn on now...

    Question on additonal lease fees and dvr fees.

    Say I get the Total Choice Package at $44.99 a month. Then I get 3 DVRs, so it's $4.99 ($9.98 for 2) for the 2 additional receivers. Plus it's $5.99 a month for the DVR Service. That ends up being $60.96 plus tax per month. I'm paying $40.00 for cable. I'm not sure I can talk the wife into it...

    Setting up DirecTV. Menu screen is black/white.

    Update I tried unplugging and re-plugging but it didn't change it. I disconnected the entire thing to no avail. Then I took the card out and turned it on without the card in, and then color appeared. I inserted the card back in and all is well. Thanks for your help everyone.

    Setting up DirecTV. Menu screen is black/white.

    I am setting up my old directv system myself because I moved. It worked fine before. I would have had Directv set the new one up, but I don't want to subscribe to a package if I don't have to. Right now I only get NFL Sunday Ticket and pay per view. I have everything hooked up, which are both...
