Does anyone here have Direct TV?

Do you like it? Is the reception good?

My cable company sucks. They aren't offering NBA League Pass this year. Of course they've never offered the NFL package. I'm about to switch to satellite.

 

[the nature boy]

love it.

You can`t compare the 2 unless you have the digital cable.

Sat signal is great. I tried cable along with my Sat and UNsubscribed in 2 weeks due to poor picture from the cable.

The only drawback is you need a reciever for each TV for Sat as opposed to cable splitters everywhere for cable.

I have digital cable now. Needing multiple receivers isn't really an issue for me. The biggest problem is that I rent an apartment. I'm wondering if a dish can be installed without drilling too many holes in the building.

Directv much better than my cable system. But Directv sucks because they keep send down ECM's and blacklisted bin's it's become such a problem for me. "did I say that out loud?"

I've had DirecTV for years, and I love it.

I have had direct tv for years. Have cable as well, (for internet mainly). Just canceled direct tv, because the p4 cards can't get programed yet. Still have many p3 cards but they are getting tough to program. My work pays for my cable, and there isn't any filters on the telephone pole any longer. So thats good enough! If I had to pay for one thing, it would be satellite though. I know dish network has a cheaper tivo now, so I'd likely use that. I was real happy with direct tv though.

How long do they last? a week, month 2-3 months? before they get zapped.

Just wondering.

Sometimes it's a few days....the latest scripts have been a week. But the beauty of support is that they have a fix available within a coulple of hours of a hit...you just log onto their website and download the new script. Plug your card into your loader, apply the new script, and you're up and running! No more taking your card to a 'guy' and being without TV for a day or two.

The signal on my HDTV looked like shit with Direct Tv. The smaller, analog televisions looked just fine though.

The tv guy & the Directtv guy both said this happens and there is nothing that can be done about it. (digital signal of a hdtv bigscreen).

I cancelled after a month. I still have all the equipment. I've thought about hooking it up illegally, but they recently put some guy in jail for a few years for it.
