Ok, I have direct tv and it has been messing up ..screen says searching for signal or it splits the screen etc. I finally decided to call today, when I FINALLY got a human voice she explained it would be 70.00 for a service visit. I also ask about getting a HD box thts another 120.00 for the new box and so much more a month. I'm unhappy about this whole deal:angry: :angry: :angry: and don't really have much choice unless I cancel it. Thanks for allowing my to vent.

I despise DIRECTV. In particular, I hate the interface. I pay for it at our daughter's place in Midtown Atlanta because they have an exclusive in her building.
When we've gotten the error message you describe, first we've done a power cycle. If that doesn't work, there are some on-screen diagnostics you can do. I can't take you through it step-by-step because I'm not there. We've had more success with that than calling tech support.

Dish network is not much better! I really think I'm going back to the dreaded Mediacom. Someone told me not long ago that they thought they heard that Knology is coming into Sowal. Anybody know about that?

They have an exclusive in Alys Beach and WaterSound, and may move westward.

I got my directv from Radio shack a long time ago, haven't had any considerable problems. Perhaps because Radio shack installed it.

I had DirectTV for about 4 months. Lost the signal all the time for no apparent reason. During that time I must have gotten a call a day from their sales department trying to sell me something, even though I ask them to stop.
I changed to Dish and haven't had any big problems at all. I have had DISH almost 2 years.

I am happy with Dish so far.. I lack a CBS station it seems though. I will get rabbit ears for OTA signals or do w/o TV before I return to Mediacom.
