Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
DirectTV, been good to me for many years.
I need to call and see about unbundleing, I'll probably drop my land line at the house and various other things. I believe the bundle discount was only a couple dollars.
Oh, and if you do go with satellite, put the dish down lower to the ground if you can, then it's easy to clean out the snow. If it's mounted on the roof of the house, good luck!
Had for 12 months and it sucked. Was "forced in to it" since it was the only provider at my old apartment complex. No On-Demand, horrible customer service, and we had a dish and was knocked over during a snow storm and it took over a week to fix.
Went to comcast later it was way better,but canceled it since i got sick of the rubbish on TV.
I have that. 18 channels is a far cry from the 4 I grew up with. I will say that if you are on the top of Pikes peak with just rabbit ears you get 47 channels.Originally Posted by Mtn.man
I just need to change my internet/phone package.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Have had them for 4 years. Price jump after 2, call and complain and they will work with you. Always been happy with the service. If you go with them I'll top the dish offer and save us each 10 bucks a month for 10 months. Its almost like you owe me now!
If you get the bundle service you will be dealing with Century Link not DirecTV. Another downfall is that bundle customers see ads in the onscreen guide just like Comcast customers do, as you scroll up and down in the guide every couple of lines is an ad, I don't see any ads as a direct DirecTV customer.
As far as DirecTV goes, I have been a happy customer since 1996..

I recently cancelled my DirecTV service and switched to an Over the Air antenna. I'm in northwest Loveland and get all the Denver channels without an issue. I mounted the antenna in my garage in the attic. I probably have ~$300 invested in splitters and amplifiers, but I've got 3 TV outlets upstairs and 3 downstairs. All of them have crystal clear pictures.
The only thing I miss from the satellite service is the whole-house DVR setup. I tried to use an OTA tuner for the Mac Mini I have connected to my main TV, but the DVR software was terrible--useless because of audio sync issues. I recently purchased a TiVo Roamio DVR that works with an antenna. It's fantastic and every bit as good as the satellite DVR. I spent $200 for the TiVo and another $400 for lifetime service. All told, I have $900 invested in my OTA setup so my break-even point is approximately 9 months based on what I was paying DirecTV.
Of course all this assumes that you don't mind doing without the 500 channels available on cable. I find that I watch mostly network stuff and what isn't network is available via Amazon Prime ($70/yr)
For what it's worth...
