Re: DirectTV - Sunday Ticket
Some technologies are worth it for free. Sunrocket just took a crap and I just reprogrammed my Gizmo, got free internet phone service through Gizmo Project, and then a free local number through Grand Central, and now I've got a free landline instead of the $25 a month I was paying Sunrocket.
However, "free to air" stations are not transmitting HD NFL Network and 150 other channels for free. Not an option!

Re: DirectTV - Sunday Ticket
I think it's your tv dude. Ive had directtv for 6 years now- and have never had any problems with it. My only issue with the superfan was that I still couldnt watch the Ravens in HD- so I dont pay for that. If they have indeed fixed that with CBS- I may reconsider.
As for needing internet- directtv offers internet as well. i dont use it myself- but ive heard it works well and is fast..."Sorry officer, nothing wrong here. I'm just watching the Ravens game!"

For you DirectTV owners....what do you do for Internet service? Verizon? Comcast? If you have Comcast I'd be intersted on what they charge you just for HSI.

Re: DirectTV - Sunday Ticket
update on the "yellow" tinge problem- loose component cable. now i just need to figure out why i'm not getting my local hd channels and i'll be happy with directv.
The whole experience does make me wonder how many out there have HD boxes that are set to a lower res hd and dont know it.

Re: DirectTV - Sunday Ticket
I read it wrong :(
Only the first 2 weeks on CBS have been decided. I thought the CBS list was a list of HD games. It's just a list of all the games they show this year.

Re: DirectTV - Sunday Ticket
Ravens0587,
If you want HD you'll need a $400 receiver the standard def receivers cost around $150. Check out the future-fta.info forums there is a ton of good information there for people just starting out. You can use your existing directTV dish but you may want to buy a used Dish500 setup(ebay-$25) and point it at the Canadian Birds. That's what I do!

We also have DirecTV. I don't have HD, I just have regular receivers with TiVo on the living room TV. I am quite happy with them.
