    Free HD for Life New Customer Promo starting 6/5

    Just want to share my experience regarding this. Currently I have Choice Extra with HD. One HD receiver and one SD. I called Directv last Friday to cancel the service (not intented to, but paying $88, taxes included, a month is too much for me) since my 2years ended couple months ago. I did...

    Delay between channels?

    I agree that E* is much faster when I had it a year ago. For DirectTV, the problem is that when I punch the channel numbers or to bring up the program guide (especially this), the lag time is so severe that sometimes I can't even be sure whether the key was pressed or not. Again, back then...

    Signal Loss During Thunderstorm??

    In the last few days, we (northeast) had severe thunderstorms in the late afternoon. Is it normal to lost satellite signal during the storm?(3-5 minutes per thunderstorm) I believe I have signal strength in the 90s in a normal day. 5 LBN. 1 dish. That's all I know about my system.(1 hd...

    Question For People living in New York w/o Sport Package

    Thanks. I want to make sure I can still get it if I cancel the Sport Package. YES is the only reason I made the switch from Dish few weeks ago. I dont want to lose it by canceling the Sport.

    Question For People living in New York w/o Sport Package

    With your current program package (Choice or higher) but without the Sport Package, are you able to access the YES channel (YES HD also)? I want to make sure I can still access the YES (and YES HD of course) if I call and cancel the Sport Package in case customer services say otherwise. Thanks.

    Just Switched to D* from E*

    So I guess I will drop the Sport Package then since I only watch Yankees' games. Again, I will call to confirm before doing anything stupid again. Also, guess I need to wait a minimum of one month before I do so. chazcbh, cariera, jokeworm, and atp1313, thanks for all the help!!:up Ouch...

    Just Switched to D* from E*

    Let me rephrase. Appearingly, zip 06484 does have YES(i will call to confirm before I do anything stupid again). So I guess I am the biggest sucker in the world then, trying to pay something for free things.:mad: I CAN get YES if I live in California by subscribing to the MLB EXTRA INNINGS...

    Just Switched to D* from E*

    Wait a minute here. Let me get this straight. My zip is 06484. I believe it's in the NY territory. And according to that link, I have quite a few RSNs including YES! Does that mean I won't need the Sport Package in order to watch YES? So I can still watch YES even if I do not live in this...

    Just Switched to D* from E*

    So I still have to do the rebate form even though I signed up the installation online? Thanks for answering the phone line issue:). The reason I dont want to hook up the phone line is there is no easy way for me to connect the line to the receiver. The phone line I have is "only" 50 feet...

    Choice Extra HD Access Sport Package 1 HD Receiver (Non-DVR), 1 SD Receiver (Non-DVR) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Since E* does not provide the YES network, I have to make the switch.
