I calledagain yesterday and they tried to reactivate my card. Instead of this fixing anything they had problems with thier software and I lost all my channels for about 45 minutes. They called me back when they got the Software working, got all my original channels back but guess what? No STO.They told me they are escalating it and that I'm a special case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144802906094617632006-04-11T20:48:00.000-04:002006-04-11T20:48:00.000-04:00I'm a DirecTV customer and have been watching the ...I'm a DirecTV customer and have been watching the game since the first pitch. Of course, I didn't have the problems experienced by others over the weekend. After reading about the trouble, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only DirecTV customer in the world who can actually watch the games on STO. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144800819637483482006-04-11T20:13:00.000-04:002006-04-11T20:13:00.000-04:00Love the HD broadcasts of the games here in Columb...Love the HD broadcasts of the games here in Columbus, Time Warner channel 752. Unfortunately, as of Tuesday's Tribe game, I still can't say the same for the audio on the HD channel. The only audible sound is from the announcers. No crowd noise or game noises. Also, the commercials are completely muted. Regular non-HD broadcast, the audio is fine. Anyone else having the same issues?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144799500109117302006-04-11T19:51:00.000-04:002006-04-11T19:51:00.000-04:00In response to the "just get cable" post, cable te...In response to the "just get cable" post, cable television (ESPECIALLY in Cleveland) is riddled with notoriously bad picture quality, confusing and slow menu-driven settop boxes, and generally horrible customer service. Try getting an Adelphia rep that can handle your call professionally - it just doesn't happen, most of the time. Sure, you may have to have a ridiculous dish on your house, but the picture is SO MUCH better than cable. Especially if you have a decent television set.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144797146428573282006-04-11T19:12:00.000-04:002006-04-11T19:12:00.000-04:00It is 7 PM and no Indians for me!!!No sir...

The Direct TV gods have spoken and I am not worthy...<BR/><BR/>One of the Direct TV flunkies called me a little bit ago and again tried to give me the song and dance for the fourth or fifth time (I honestly have lost count)... Once again I asked to speak to a REAL live manager or even the infamous E. Ryan whomever that may be. Of course that is NOT going to happen! The Direct TV Gods are safely locked away in their castle in LA.<BR/><BR/>Guess I will go watch hockey... it is the only game the Direct TV gods have decided I can watch... at least until my DISH gets installed... By the way... do they REALLY think they are going to collect full payment for a cancelled MLB extra innings package??? They don't braodcast in my area yet I don't qualify to watch the Indians because they are in my area... Is that double talk or what???<BR/><BR/>They won't be getting any more payments from me!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144795661346792972006-04-11T18:47:00.000-04:002006-04-11T18:47:00.000-04:00Go to cable?

I mean, if you wanna see the Tribe, drop the freakin' DTV and get with a cable company or something. Sheesh. You'd think all this crap was the most important debate since Kennedy/Nixon. If DTV isn't gonna service its customers, let them go elsewhere...and wait for DTV to ante up and crawl back. Whatever it takes to boost the Tribe's income, I'm all for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144765897355861912006-04-11T10:31:00.000-04:002006-04-11T10:31:00.000-04:00you would get sportspak, but the indians games wou...you would get sportspak, but the indians games would still be blacked outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1144765271821792232006-04-11T10:21:00.000-04:002006-04-11T10:21:00.000-04:00I have three words for Directv subscribers in the ...I have three words for Directv subscribers in the Cleveland market who cannot watch the Tribe. "Get Dish Network." I'm not even in the Cleveland market & I haven't had any problems watching STO. I live in Cochranton, Pa. which is near Meadville and as a long time (and suffering) Pirates fan, it's good to finally see the Indians games on STO and actually watch a regional MLB team that could win it all this year. However, I won't be jumping on the Browns bandwagon anytime soon.
