We are also taking orders for new activations in the Detroit DMA. Same deal, $200 DIRECTV mail-in rebate.
No upgrades through any dealers, upgrades are all handled through DIRECTV and their HSPs.

Hehe I didn't think about that one.
It has taken us so long to build up some good contacts at DirecTV that I did not want to blow things by having 27,000 SatelliteGuys Member calling them and asking them what up.
So I guess if you call them up, dont say you saw the information here at SatelliteGuys, instead tell them you saw the ad in the paper.
BTW welcome to all the AVS folks, good to have you back!

I can assure you my friend didnt say anything about Satellite Guys when he called...
He is not a member here or at AVS..
He is not even an HD enthusiast really, he still thinks the upconverted 4:3 content on ESPNHD is true HD

Do you still got your Exit Visa signed by Coleman A Young giving you permission to cross 8 mile?
I see that the ad in the paper is for new resi subscribers only if you read the fine print. It is also from a dealer, not from Directv itself, and says to go to the store for details. Also said eligibility determined by address. BUT--it does show some progress in getting the systems setup.
Wow, that brought back some memories. I lived on the corner of Cass and Canfield in an apartment with a thousand cockroaches for six weeks. Neighborhood was so scary then that we pushed a chest of drawers up against the door at night before going to bed.Kevinw said:As former Detroiter, that actually lived in side the city limits- 3rd and Canfield for those that remember the Old Vernor's plant, I would say Hockeytown
Oh, Vernors, yech
but that was just my tastes.Eventually lived in Westland, MI, but commuted to Detroit every day for work.
Six years. Hey, I liked Detroit.
Don't know what to tell ya. I was watching part of it yesterday, not in HD however.roachxp said:

Actually its true in one case, lol
they should of added an another statement saying
"For access to DIRECTV LOCAL High-Definition programming, a 5 LNB multisatellite dish antenna is required."
Actually the 3 LNB statement is correct, if you look at the new dish it only has what looks like 3 LNB's (however there are actually 5 LNB's there.)
This is going to confuse a lot of people over what 3 LNB dish they get.
