Direct TV absolutely rocks!!!

[x-g.o.p.er]

NFL Sunday Ticket, Minnesota Gopher hockey, crystal clear picture.

Someone please tell me why I didn't do this 5 years ago?

[Lorien]

1. I think it's owned by Rupert Murdoch

won't go near it-sorry.

2. I second that

[NMDemDist2]

3. Dish Network is the way to go, esp with all the channels at the top

of the list ie. the research Channel, UCTV, FSTV, LinkTV

and NOT a Murdoc outfit.

[Mojambo]

4. Were going to Dish Network shortly

I cannot freakin wait.

[spatlese]

5. Speaking of Dish Network...

I noticed that about a week or 5 days before the election, I started getting FAUX news channel even though I have been subscribing to Dish for about 4 months prior to that... is it just me? or did that happen to you too?

8. FAUX Is In Basic Package

maybe you just blanked it out of your eyes...

[x-g.o.p.er]

6. I considered the Murdoch angle....

but for one thing, I have never been a boycott-type person (sorry, just the way I am), and secondly it is the only one that has the NFL package. That was the main reason I got it.

15. still supporting the GOP then

IMHO

[otohara]

7. Football Fans Love It

doesn't it cost a bunch to get the NFL Sunday Tix? and it's Murdoch's - yick

[x-g.o.p.er]

9. Usually, ye, but they have a special right now...

where if you sign up for Direct TV, you get the Sunday Ticket and all their movie channel (HBO, Showtime, etc) free for 4 months.

Free Sunday Ticket....yeah baby!!!

10. What were you using before, rabbit ears?

As a long time DTV guy, you will soon realize that for the most part there is still nothing good to watch most of the time.

[x-g.o.p.er]

11. Had cable before,

but I moved, and with the offer they had about the NFL, I thought I'd try it out.

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. It's really pretty good. Do you have Tivo too?

Tivo brings the whole thing together.

[x-g.o.p.er]

13. No, I was told by the installer that

I needed two cable outlets for it to work, which I don't have nor did I want to pay to have installed.

I would like to have it, since my new job is varying hours, to incude shift work, and it would be nice to record the shows I would miss.

14. Glad you like supporting Murdoch....... Sorry to rain on your parade....

but you are feeding a prime enemy.

16. YEP

17. Murdoch was a billionaire media mogul before I got Direct TV

And would be a billionaire media mogul whether he got my $70 a month or not.

And wherever my money went, do you really think it would go to someone who DOESN'T drink the MSM kool-aid?

[hlthe2b]

18. We all have to make our own judgement on these things. But Murdoch

is not just someone who drinks the MSM kool-aid... he's in a class of his own. Arguably no single man has caused more harmful disinformation to be disseminated to more worldwide-- through his papers, Faux news, and his Direct TV programming decisions...

I can't be totally "pure" and probably none of us can in terms of how and where we spend our money-- but Murdoch is a monster. As Eric Clapton so heartily agreed when asked: Which living person do you most despise? "Rupert Murdoch."


again, sorry to rain on your parade.

19. Dish has a free weekend of HBO so

I'm going to get to watch Real Time with Bill Maher tonight.
