    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    I'm off tomorrow so I'll give it a try; is there anything they can do remotely or does a tech have to come out?

    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    We had the dish moved to the opposite side of the house this summer since trees had grown in front of it. Clear path now, and it was realigned at the time but I guess it could be out again...

    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    No, we called Verizon, made all the arrangements and thought we we're all set. The reason we canceled the second appointment? Even though the HD is supposed to be better, faster internet, etc., there's a cost and learning curve we just weren't sure about. Not a technology curve, but what the...

    "He's not dead yet, Jim" S-DVD sales seem to be holding their own

    Wasn't quite chump change then but it was pretty easy to convince my wife we NEEDED an upconverting player a couple years back after spending almost two grand on the HDTV.
