So is the policy still that you can change between premiums as long as you keep the same level of service for 30 days? That was the policy after they implemented the $10 penalty for downgrading before 30 days. So for example if you sign up for 2 premiums, you must keep at least 2 premiums...

What exactly did you change? There are reports over at dbstalk.com that you can't remove premium packages anymore online. I want to know if its still possible to swap premium packages, i.e. change from HBO to Sports pack.

At this rate TC is going to be $50 next year. This is ridiculous. Analog cable and a mythbox is looking better and better.

Is this legit?

According to this: http://www.directvsports.com/asp/active/RSN_Info.asp You should get the following with TC: FOX Sports Net Southwest (Ch. 643) # Dallas Mavericks # Dallas Stars # FC Dallas # Houston Astros # Texas Rangers Give them a call and see what's going on.

Do you work for Comcast?

Nope, that's not true. You get to pick 1 of 5 prizes, one of which is a free week of ST. You get a code and go to the above website where you will make your selection.

It looks like you may be able to order it online. They've now added the (order) listing next to all of the games on the online directv Program Guide. This wasn't up a few days ago.

I got one of these today. Is it possible to order this via the web? If so that would answer the OP's question because if you order PPV via the web it mirrors to all recievers.

He was tying to do neither. There was an episode of King of Queens where one of the characters got a TiVo and it kept recording shows that a gay person might stereotypically watch. That's what he was refering to.

Scott, have you heard any further info regarding the FCC's approval of 72.5?

That's odd that they are using PBSX. Maybe they haven't been able to work out a way to get a good signal to the uplink yet.

No, you're completely missing the point here. You are charged $4.99 for each box beyond the first, whether or not you have a phoneline connected. There is no way to have more than one box and not pay a mirroring fee. What you wanted to do was call them and just tell them to turn IPPV off...

By a lot more locals, hopefully he means the 72.5 markets. Has anyone heard anything else regarding the FCC's approval of this slot?

There really should be FAQ section on these forums, mainly to answer this question. If I had a nickle for every time this question has been asked I'd be a very rich man. In short, if you have a directivo, yes you will need a phone line, however only for the first call to download the latest...

What did you ask them about?

Well their website says that Digital Locals are include free (*ehem with an off-air antenna).

I was just looking at VOOM's website, and I realized they don't have nearly as much HD as I thought they did. The first time I went there and looked, I thought everything was in HD. Which was odd because I wondered why anyone would want to watch the weather channel in HD. In reality they...

The fact is the locals will be going on in June. The satellite has been launched and is currently in the testing phase. I don't think you'll have much of an arguement if you call up and say you've been "jacked around" about locals. I can guarentee they will just tell you the exact date...

I'm pretty sure that won't happen. It seems like they will be maxing out it's capacity pretty quickly. This can be indicated by the fact that there are a set of locals that will be going in by the end of the year that will be at the 72.5 position. If they had the room on 7s, I would assume...

I have a set of the RCA remote extender cones, they work great.

I just checked d*'s locals info page: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/LocalChannelsAction.do. Traverse City, MI is in the second batch of locals slated for "Coming in 2004." My DMA is also in this set of locals, so this issue interests me very much. I wouldn't hold my breath for them being up...

Would anyone have an address like this for WB?

Actually I'm pretty sure it won't be nearly as slow as your experience was with d* and Replay. First off, I used to have a replay, and it was painfully slow to buffer. I had plain analog cable hooked up to it, and I would never ever channel surf with it because it took forever to put a picture...

Pretty much all of the RCA receivers have a serial control, its called "low speed date port." The higher end hughes model also has this port.
