Why doesn't DirecTV offer HD programming?!

[rwfanatic]

What kind of peanut butter and jelly bull +#+! is this? I gotta pay more than I was paying when I had Time Warner and I still can not get the full capabilitiesof my HDTV

Is this one of the cases where if I upgrade my cables then I might get abetter picture? Or does it not matter since there is no digital signal? This is ridiculous. And to make matters even worse DirecTV is all that I can get sincethe building that I stay in now has some sort of contract with them and Time Warner is not an option.

 

[crank dat niketalk]

so many things wrong with your post.

DirecTV offers THE MOST HD channels out, PERIOD. Fully digital, always been.

your not wavy

 

[presequel]

directv has the most HD channels out of any other provider.

it costs $10 more.


time warner barely has any HD channels. dtv is WELL WORTH IT

 

[rwfanatic]

Well then why is it that when I set up my service and when the dude just came to install the boxes he told me that they don't have it available?

your building most likely has the old satellite dishes and they need to upgrade them in order to get HD

time warner ftw

 

[willinc]

yea my direct tv hd is just fine

 

[rwfanatic]

I think it might also have something to do with me having to set it up through AT&T and not DirecTV directly, but I was told that was the only was for itto be done.

 

[deezxnutz]

are you sure you got the right receiver hooked up to your tv? there's specific receivers that output hd channels.

directv is way better than time warner. the satellite hooked up in the building could be a problem but i doubt it. even the smaller/older ones were able tograb hd channels but not all of them. you might have to call directv up and ask if you're paying for hd channels and what type of receiver you have.

 

[barondavis5]

umm they do offer it.

Thats the case around my way. Can't wait to move

 

[chillyjays]

rwfanatic, that box looks pretty old, i havent seen it before so who knows i might be wrong but ALL of the directv boxes i have seen are silver. hope thathelps.

 

[jromey23]

yeah, that's an old receiver. the hd receiver is silver and the buttons light up in blue

. i've had the hd receiver and package for over a year and have hadabsolutely no problems

. make sure you buy your hdmi cables and youshould be good to go

. i just bought another samsung lcd and upgradedto another hd receiver. if you have an hdtv you really need to get the hd receiver and package, so you can get the most out of your hdtv
