I live in Donko bitch country. The good news is they play Chiefs games occasionally. The bad news is they play Donko games every week. It's especially taxing when they pull off lucky ass wins like the Bungles. Oh and the news thought Shanarat was GOD. Unbearable dude.

Avoid all them trailer parks out there they will hump anything out there.

That win against Cincy made me cringe.

And use Purell.

Uh.....no.....I'm not that old.

I'm only 50, still middle aged.

I may suck but at least i'll suck while watching the game. :fire:

Damn its storming its ass off here in OKC and my satelite is still working... Plus thankfully its never windy here, so I dont have to "worry" about my directv going "out"...

Ah the myths of satelite....

They're not myths. I have had a dish and bad weather killed it. Right now, I have the worst of both worlds. I live in an apartment complex that gives us cable but they get their signal through a dish... so when it's bad weather it cuts out, and when it's nice out I still have poor channel selection... i love the interweb and streaming though...

Had DirecTV for 12 years now, don't understand how any NFL fan can do without. Big 10 network rocks. Have never lost reception once. Cable TV seems to constantly be trying to come up with gimmicks to cover for the fact they can't offer full NFL coverage.

i just realized i get versus

watching KU live for the first time

woot!

Versus vs. DirecTV: two sides to the story

Posted on 03 September 2009 by Robert Seidman

Versus is still dark on DirecTV, but more light is being shed in its skirmish with Comcast. Here’s a brief synopsis.

DirecTV initially said it was about price, that Comcast was seeking a 20% hike in licensing fees for Versus. Additionally DirecTV has said it is paying more for the service than other providers. But Comcast says that isn’t so and that the issue is that DirecTV wanted to move the package into some digital sports tier ghetto on DirecTV where Versus would’ve been available to six million fewer DirecTV subscribers.

Previously Versus was available to subscribers of the Total Choice Xtra package, where it was available to around 14 million on DirecTV who subscribe to that package at no additional cost. From DirecTV’s perspective, it is merely looking to get similar treatment as its satellite competitior DISH:

Multichannel News writes that DISH Network carries Versus in the "AT250 tier and has about a 35 percent penetration rate," and DirecTV has indicated it's looking for a similar deal. Before being taken off the air, Versus had access to about 80 percent of DirecTV's subscribers.

Is the DISH Network comparison a fair one? Keep in mind that Comcast struck that deal with DISH back in the OLN days; way before the name change, the increase in properties and ratings growth. Also keep in mind that Versus has clearance above 70 percent on nearly every major cable provider, from Time Warner to (naturally) Comcast.

I have no dog in this hunt but, in looking briefly into the matter, it seems that DirectTV is not an innocent party being abused in this situation.

This thread title should have been reserved for an anti-raiders thread.

I'm pretty sure $38 doesn't get you HDTV. In the future I will spend about $50/month for DTV 200+ channels and HD with an AT&T bundle. Right now I get all the channels on a special promotion through AT&T since I just went back to DTV.

Time Warner's "free HD" is complete bullshit. They were raising rates every time I turned around and I'd have to call to get a preferred rate which would only raise my rate $3 instead of $7. It was getting tiresome. There was this pesky "High Definition Tier" that added $5/month. How does that make HD free?

Oh, I'm almost 39, I completely agree. I was just giving Luv shit. :)

i had the dish too, it sucked, whenever it was stormy we'd lose signal. i don't care too much for comcast either, which is why we don't pay to have it LOL

I got versus on DISH
