Draco-REX Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I called Direct TV to get some possible information to see if I could get service in my area. They have since called me twice a day since that day trying to sell me service. I plan on switching to them if I can get a signal at end of month. But they are definately pretty fucking annoying. If you're in North America, you have DirecTV service. It's satellite based. The big question is whether you have a siteline from where you can mount your dish to the satellite in the south. That's going to be specific to your house and they won't know until someone comes out. Or you can probably find sighting instructions on the internet. It'll only take a compass and some way to find an angle of inclination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 You mean for Whole Home? According to their website you can have 15 TV's hooked up. http://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2734 at an additional cost.... I have a 4 bedroom home, plus great room, plus basement, plus man cave / shop / barn.... cost me a fortune to have cable in all those rooms where, I have 1 HD-DVR and the rest analogue with Time Warner.... the problem is, Time Warner is just on the edge of being better financially... give them 6 months and they will cost more and I'll switch.

LJ Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 No might be a good idea though. I think their user interface is fairly fucking archaic too. How is directv's interface? The Insight guy could've just been blowing smoke up my ass, but when Insight is fully absorbed into TWC, they are supposed to be rolling out a new user interface and faster standard internet.

Tshensley Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have Dish and Im happy with it. Although I was disappointed about it dropping AMC Then I found out DirectTV dropped 26 providers.....I felt a lot better then. They did restore them but they drop channels the same way dish can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insight's Interface will be better now that TWC has bought them. TWC has just refreshed their interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldsoda Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Directv has been great for us. very competitive pricing (see lower than TWarner), and great picture quality. Havent had dish personally, but friends who have it do not plan on renewing the contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
