98GrdPoundr Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 i was talking to my mom today and she said that direct tv is sending someone out to change out thier set top box for a hd box and that if they don't have a hd tv which they don't, they wont be able to watch tv. is this something thier doing to all customers ?

Clifford Automotive Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Never heard of such a thing. They told me when I upgraded they had to replace the box and the dish. Thought that was odd but hey its technology. She should still be able to watch tv though with out a problem. I have WOW at my shop and dont have boxes or anything. I get all the channels on my regular tv, and all + HD's on my HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98GrdPoundr Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 yeah i kind of think they were just trying to get over on her because they were trying to sell her a hd tv over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt have that problem at all. Hook it right up and was done. Then a week later decided to get HD service since I had an HDTV. What box were you running?

Rally Pat Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 We still have the boxes we have had since like 99. They haven't said anything to us about needing the HD equipment yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
