Anyone in here have DirecTV?

Yep I do, I love it!

I had dish and I fucking hated it, it went out allll the time when it would drizzle just a bit. For my directv, it takes alot to make it go out.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

They upped my prices $20/month with no explanation and I am not happy about it, and now my damn receiver takes two minutes to do anything. I push a button and have to wait two minutes before it does anything and their customer service dept. is no help. Are you experiencing these issues? I had the same problem on the last update and a reset took care of everything. I've reset 5 times today and it still sucks.

[Julian 641]

Last time I used it no.

[ssh 924]

Did they up the price this month?

Ill have to check our statement.

Directv fucked us over so we switched to dish, then switched back a year later cause dish was shit.

Our Directv receiver broke (the one we rent monthly, not own) and they wanted to charge us some absurd amount to fix the rental...

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Yeah, I had Dish several years ago and I liked them aside from losing signal all the time. Then I switched to Comcast and those idiots just fucked everything up. Then I went to AT&T U-verse and loved that, but it's not available where I live now, so I got DirecTV and love it aside from the bullshit pricing now. They upped it several months ago, but it just pisses me off and the receiver has been fucking up constantly. I've called several times to get shit fixed and they sent a Tech out here once, but it was a contractor and the guy was dirty, smelled like shit, sloppily dressed and had no ID. I told him there was no way I'd let him in my house, so I called DirecTV to complain, went through several people and managers, got a bunch of apologies and other bullshit, and nobody has come out again. Every time I call now, they keep giving me the run-around.

We've been thinking of switching from insight (local cable provider) to direct tv. I wasn't looking forward to it and now I am even less.

What intnet provider are you guys using with DirecTv? They want us to bundle with some shitty DSL service. I can't help but think it will be complete garbage in comparison to my current broadband connection. I wish Fios or U-verse was available out here

If nothing else write a letter to Michael White, Chairman and CEO of DirecTV. 2230 East Imperial Hwy, El Segundo, CA 90245. My mother did this when she was getting frustrated at them and all the issues she was having "magically" went away.

I have AT&T DSL. It works great for me.

Thanks for the info! I wish they'd offer Speed Channel with their basic package. Hell, I wish you could build the packages the way you want. That would be a money maker right there.

[Luke.H 33]

Our dsl would be zoomtown which I've heard mixed reviews on. I thought speed was in the basic package. It was one of the things I was looking forward to if we switched.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

That looks yummy, love me some pasta!

Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave an horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls as the wild animals killed her.

She screamed: “Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!’”

Her mother Tatiana said that at first thought she was joking. “But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing.”

Fucking christ I need a drink

Oh, you made me a plate too.... Thanks, but I already ate!

Looks great!!

It's a shame that proper manual transmissions are becoming such a rare thing

[dem beats 1,223]

She would rock a patch or 2 and then go through oxycodone on the regular with another drug for when it got bad. Demerol is my guess. I don't know for sure though.

She had the nerve grow back 3 times after having it burned. The problem is it grows back outside of the Aleve the nerve stays in normally. So it was in constant compression and thus mega pain.

Speed's only available in the top two packages. It's a joke really as that is the only damn channel I want. If I could somehow view F1 races without Speed, I would get rid of the satellite all-together.

It's a shame that proper manual transmissions are becoming such a rare thing

To Quote Jeremy Clarkson, "Stupid flappy-paddle gearbox."

It was actually for my sister. The only time she loves her brother is when I cook for her.

I wanted Speed for the same reason. I don't follow F1 too regularly, but I really like watching the occasional race

To Quote Jeremy Clarkson, "Stupid flappy-paddle gearbox."

I haven't had a chance to try a good one, but it just seems like it wouldn't be the same as a standard manual. I understand the performance benefits, but at a certain point I feel like all the assistance would take away from the experience

[dem beats 1,223]

Sciatic nerve got effed if I remember right.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Strange, I'm the complete opposite

Nothin' wrong with a little brotherly love (no BS intended).

Hell, if you cooked for me I'd love you too!!

I've got "paddles" (push buttons on the wheel) and while it shifts NOW when you press them the excitement isn't there and realistically it is faster as expected if you just let the computer do its thing. Only real use for them is if you want to hold a gear, but then in the ML you don't even need to go to full manual mode but just choose the top gear you want it to run up to in Automatic.
