Swanni the Spare!

Phillip Swann is a spare that regurgitates everything he reads and hears and then passes it off as his own. Anything you read on there has already been published.

always got to love the mysterious reliable source!.

Me too. It always makes the threads more interesting.

brewer, it was the eric shanks reference a few posts back.

 

[akeener]

LOL, sorry. Just saw him being referenced in another post and he totally whips me. Like one of his TV predictions last year; one of them was that HDTV prices will drop. Hummm way to go out on a limb there. Anyway, sorry to beat everyone down with my soap box.

We would be able to start a whole new thread on that subject!

I was "raised" by Mr & Mrs T. It wasn't until my formative years that I discovered that I was actually conceived from Tennessee seed. as it turns out, Mrs T was a bit of a hussy. Don't tell her I said so, she might take away my allowance.

Something tells me we will have a definite answer today by 4pm EST - on when the channels will launch AND what is going on with D10 and the locals.

Could you give some examples of when your predictions were correct?

 

[Hemi 6.1]

OH Boy, This may start something! Still be fun to hear though!

Oh boy

 

[Questioner]

The only thing they said on the webcast was the new hd packages are going to launch in mid october. When they will they have any new channels, who knows, but I am still betting against wednesday.

Just go back through some of the old threads and just do some reading to make you own conclusions; you can search posts made by specific members.

[troqua]

Just to let you know, when I reviewed your account, I found that you got a DIRECTV HD System. To make sure that you continue to receive all of our HD programming - including new HD programming we’re launching later this year - you will need to make sure that a device called a B-band converter is connected to each Satellite-In port on your DIRECTV H20 or DIRECTV HR20 receiver. The B Band Converter came in the carton with your receiver and if you had professional installation, it is most likely already connected. For instructions on how to check for B Band Converter connection or to order one, go to directv.com/bbc.

Should you have any other outstanding concerns, please let us know, the fastest way to reach us is at 1-800-531-5000 and our professional and courteous Customer Service Representatives will be happy to assist you.

I hope that I was able to address your concerns satisfactorily. Thanks again for writing and stay tuned to directv.com for the latest news and information about our services.

Sincerely,

Sheila

Funny coming from a guy whose predictions haven't been correct, let's see on September 3rd, you stated....whatever. Dude, why would you even say something like that? For your information Scobuck has been giving out solid information for quite some time now.
