Did you lose signal during the very brief thunderstorms that came through in the last few days? Is there a way to improve this, or even check for the susceptibility? Should I call DTV and ##### at them for the rain fade twice in the first 2 days (and only time we've had rain)?'TobiasFunke said:
It has not been too much of an issue for me... not so much because it does not happen... pretty much a given if a thunderstorm rolls through there is a 50/50 chance of a short disconnect in service.... but because when I had Comcast I had just as many interruptions as I do through the year but they would last much longer. Also, I had much more distortions with Comcast than I ever have had with DirecTV. Pretty much with me thunderstorms are the only problem. I do not recall it going out on heavy snowfall and really if there is heavy rain out here then it is a thunderstorm so I don't know if there is a big difference. Seems to always go out right around the time of a big lighting strike though- so I assume that is connected.
I haven't lost my signal in a few months, but it's usually a very local thing. When I have lost the signal in the past it returns as soon as the storm moves through my immediate area- sometimes it's still coming down like crazy just a mile or two away according to the radar.
Call back and say you just saw you could get redzone channel on dish network for $7 a month and tell them you're going to switch. They'll give you redzone channel for free for sure.
do you have pay extra for crap like HD and red zone channel? I thought I was already getting that stuff.
Oh, so you're getting the sunday ticket?
yeah. instead of 6 payments of $54, I'm paying 6 payments of $34 for it. saved $120 off the cost and brought it down to about $200 total.
some people in here seemed to be getting Free Sunday Ticket AND money off on top of it. I guess I didn't threaten to quit hard enough.
gotcha. yeah. I think if you already ordered it they can't comp it or something like that. either way, call back and demand free stuff. I think if you use the phrases "times are tough" and "dish network" they pretty much just give you everything. Maybe they'll give you college football gameplan.yeah. instead of 6 payments of $54, I'm paying 6 payments of $34 for it. saved $120 off the cost and brought it down to about $200 total.
update:Saw that some people were getting it free and called in. "Josh" took care of me and added an additional 120 credit effectively giving me sunday ticket free.
me too. Took some haggling to get ST free instead of half off.Just called and got sunday ticket free on top of a free HD-dvr a few months ago and a $10 credit for 24 months a few months before that.
this is in contrast to last year when i called for my yearly sunday ticket discount and not only did i get denied several times but they went ahead and canceled my ticket last year and i had to re-sign up for it at a $20 additional cost
Live hockey games on those channels will be blacked out if you don't purchase Center Ice. You'll be able to watch the delayed replays of the games, but that's about it.I assume it's the same for the other sports.
Yea I had a hunch that was the case, I see they mentioned college sports and extreme sports but not pro. Thanks Aaron!
Works the same way with baseball too. You'll get your local team's games, but others are blacked out.
New dish. 2 new hd dvr receivers. Ticket for 150. $120 off over the next 2 years. As wel as the $26/month discount already on the bill.
Thanks - I was assuming they would tie into the existing cable running through the house - but I need that cable to run to my wireless router, so I did not know if they needed to run separate cable for directv to the rooms where I will have a receiver.
i'm not amused. i've called multiple times and everybody says that i have the maximum number of discounts already applied. all i've been able to get thus far is To-Go.
I haven't had any success once I hit that "maximum number of discounts" time. I've had cases where the rep has promised me $10 additional off, and they admit they promised it, and their system wouldn't process the discount. I actually ended up switching to cable to give it a try during the off season because they wouldn't honor what they promised (even suggested they simply set me up as a vendor and cut me a check if their system wouldn't process it - they didn't go for it). This year I got a pretty hefty series of discounts to basically match what they were offering new customers, but still have to pay something for ST & togo was full price (after several requests, I believe that they are at the end of their rope for what they'll give me).In the end, just happy that football will be starting soon!
That's bull#### compared to some of the other deals here.
I'd be happy to get this. They offered us Starz free for a year. #### that ####.
Elaborate then...Ive never heard them giving $$ off per month over 12 months, and $20 is usually the standard at that.Believe it!
No scoring system?I got 250 cash credit 2 months ago and just called up today and got the NFL ticket and superfan for free. I told them I could not afford the Sunday ticket and wanted to move to Dish to get the redzone channel. He offered 50% off and I told him I might be able to do that if I changed other programming and the he started talking FF with me. After 10 minutes he told me I had the ticket for free. He talked another 10 minutes about FF and told me I had it all free. Good guy.From what I can tell he hasBreesManningAPFelix JonesBrittAustinGonzoDanielsGostRavensSteelersHe dropped Manning and picked up C Williams and Woodhead. He also has McNabb, and won his week one game against he buddy who had Keading as his kicker.
SuperFan is gone I thought. ST is all HD now and included, along with RedZone and the GameMix channels.
maybe the mobile thing, I don't know because I haven't paid for it since the first two years I had it.
Brees got him 29 and Britt got him 26, he said Austin whom he sat for Britt only got him 14. Maybe we can figure it out from there.No scoring system?I got 250 cash credit 2 months ago and just called up today and got the NFL ticket and superfan for free.
