99% sure I'm going to make the switch tonight. PM me your account number!

Hopefully I'll be able to get the Costco Promo + referral discount. Costco deal takes precedence.

Thanks!

I'll keep you in mind

11/17/2010 5:23:30 PM

11/17/2010 5:24:17 PM

What is the referral discount?

11/17/2010 5:24:35 PM

$10 month off both the referer and referee's bill for 10 months or something?

FYI: costco deal is $180 gift card when you sign up

Just an FYI, I have recently become a DirecTV dealer along with my day job. I can typically get some pretty sweet deals, so PM me if you need info.

11/17/2010 5:34:18 PM

you can you get me a 20 sack of Canadian music television?

11/17/2010 5:43:40 PM

lol

by Dealer, I mean Authorized Reseller

11/17/2010 5:50:07 PM

I miss DirecTV

Still have my dish and brought it with me to my new apartment just in case I decided to get it back haha

I see errrbody has a oval dish now, what's up with that? My dish is round

Just signed up with Bobby's referral. Ended up getting the Choice Xtra package with HD DVR/Cinema Plus for 31.99 for First 10 months, 41.99 for next 2 months, then $70.99 for last 12.

Even when my bill is at its max, it still seems like I'm getting a better deal than I would through TWC. (calling and complaining aside) Plus you can't put a price on not having to deal with TWC.

Discounts
$10 referral credit for first 10 months
$29 bill credit for first 12 months
$180 Costco Gift card

Hopefully djeternal's deal wasn't embarrassingly better.

11/17/2010 5:55:46 PM

^ Mine is pretty similar

Choice Xtra is $34.99 for the first 12, then $63.99 for the last 12.

Includes 2 receivers (HD DVR and Regular HD) and Cinema Plus. Free HD obviously

You'd still get the referral credit and Costco Gift card

Oh yeah, and I can do Free Starz and Showtime for a year

Is that with DVR as well? If so it looks like I could've saved $7/month. Not a huge deal if so.

I got free Starz/Showtime for 3 months, rather than a year.

To get the costco credit I had to order it though costco's site, not sure if that would've impacted being able to get your rates as well.

What are my chances of being able to get my install moved from Friday to tomorrow (in time for the basketball game?) Would I need to call a local installer or the 800 number?

[Edited on November 17, 2010 at 6:17 PM. Reason : ]

11/17/2010 6:13:42 PM

Yeah, it includes DVR

I'd call the 800 number

i have not had good experiences with directv's tards either

the only one who had any sense was the guy who came out to install it

the fuckers call me all the time trying to sell something and if i don't answer and talk to them they call at least daily

not nearly as bad as twc, but still enough to piss me off

11/17/2010 6:15:39 PM

i can refer to directTV as a piece of shit

11/17/2010 6:22:30 PM

How is the HD in comparison to TWC?

2/8/2011 11:10:45 AM

can't tell a difference, but the guide doesn't take 5 seconds every time you push a button

2/8/2011 11:16:58 AM

^Amen

2/8/2011 11:21:23 AM

^^ thats' from the hardware. the new Samsung units are much faster. even still...i'm getting fed up with TWC.

2/8/2011 11:23:22 AM

^the samsung boxes are a definite improvement over the explorer or whatever the old TWC box is but I feel like the HD DVR+ from DTV is still a bit faster.

i also appreciate the fact that if there is a SD and HD version of the same channel, DTV will hide the SD channel. oh and the score guide when you are watching sports.

2/8/2011 4:10:21 PM

I got me dat 190% ATT Uverse television Decided I didn't want to deal with Direct after my parents had them for years and bitched endlessly about their customer service.

is this still valid? is it valid with other promotions, too?

2/8/2011 5:51:18 PM

I too will be signing up for DirecTV when I move in a couple weeks. Any deals now?

2/8/2011 6:35:11 PM

fuck directv. it's worse here than the cable choices.

2/8/2011 6:37:52 PM

^I'm on a college campus, I have the choice of Comcast with only SD channels, or DirecTV

I think the picture is FAR better with direcTV than TWC.

I got a lot of random pixelation with TWC and other quality issues that seemed related to bandwidth. have had zero problems with DirecTV.
