Going back to Direct after 15 years!

[mobowhunter]

I had Direct for a couple years about 15 years ago and then switched over to Charter. I am not planning on switching back.

I have three HD TV's (2 of them need DVR's) and I have two SD TV's that will not need DVR's. Looking at the packages - I think we are going to go with the Choice Xtra+ channel listing - or would there be a better program out there? We do not watch any movie channels but I will need our local regional network - Fox Sports Midwest.

Any advice?

Thanks, Jeff

programming is up to you, but i believe you will need the sports pack added to you bill to get tht fox channel (could be wrong) +14.99/month and the +hddvr package would be cheaper for you as well.

also ask a staff member for a referral, and check out the aaa discount if your a member.

If you had it for a couple of years, it must have been 13 years ago. DirecTV did not launch until the summer of 1994.

You are correct, it could have been 13 years ago since I left.

Why ask a staff member for the referral, you can get a referral from anyone, even you if you and they agree ....

Yes you can give your referral to a staff member if you want, not saying don't, just pointing out that anyone that has service can give you a referral.

Let's not go through this again. Yes if you have a friend that you know has Directv then tell them you need a referral. The reason Scott doesn't want everybody on here to start asking for referrals is that it would cause fights between members.

He has us on the list due to the fact that we don't get paid to do help out here.

Believe me the neighbors who heard my wife complaining about Charter have made me aware of the referral program.

I just did not know what to expect with the installation - would I get a SWM LNB, I am sure I have the abbrev wrong, but would the single line dish with multiple switch be a part of the deal for the number of (2) HD DVR's, (1)HD Receiver, (2) SD Receivers. Could I expect or should I demand that before I let them proceed with the install?

Thanks, Jeff

If your getting the rec'rs you mentioned, you'll more than likely get the SWM set up.
You have 7 tuners in your scenario.

If you have more than 4 they usually look to see how they are being used and go with what's practical.

as long as the tech has swm in stock on his truck, you should get it.
