[QUOTE="davek, post: 1432632, member: 519"] I had DirectTV starting in 1994, started the second day it was available. I owned the equipment then and, after 2 years, when it broke I dropped the service. Seemed like they were constantly reshuffling the packages so I had to pay more to keep the channels I liked. Went to Heartland wireless for a while, but wasn't to happy with that. Got Dish, still have it. I had problems with loss of signal, complained to Dish and they sent out a tech to align the antenna properly and have had much better reception. It takes really heavy rain to lose signal. It's kind of amusing sometimes, the signal will drop just before a big downpour arrives. Never more than a few minutes interruption. When Dish offered a free upgrade to HD I called them to sign up. However, they wanted my credit card info for the "free" upgrade and I declined to provide it. I won't give Dish, or any other company, access to my credit card or bank accounts. So, I still have standard def TV. I'm hoping AT&T will get U-verse going on my street but it may be a while. I've only had working (1.3 Mb) DSL from them for about 3 months so I'm not holding my breath for U-verse. If I had decent bandwidth I'd just use my Internet connection and Netflix. [/QUOTE]
