Has anyone seen this pricing grid for commercial DirecTV:

Another question for fellow insight customers. Does your guide say OSU is showing, or UM-HotHotHot? My tivo says the latter, but I'm hoping that is just a misprint.

Mine says "Ohio State vs YSU OR scUM vs App State OR NW vs N'eastern OR Penn State vs Fla Intl".
I would assume the coverage is regional??

I have had DirecTV since the early/mid 90's (don't recall exactly how long, but a long time) and have NEVER missed a second of an OSU game because of a lost signal. <<<knocks on wood****>
Matter of fact, I only lose the signal during very, very, very bad storms and that is usually only for a few seconds.
Cable subscribers can continue to use this to try to justify their choice to subscribe to an inferior product while us DirecTV subscribers watch the Buckeyes. Don't worry, we'll be happy to let you know how the boys looked.

Cool, let's hope so. I wouldn't put faith in the tivo listings for a brand new network anyway.
One thing I hope they do, is re-air games late at night. Us football junkies would probably record Michigan to watch during the few days where football is not on TV.

So...I'm about to lose my mind. I made my appointment over a week ago to have my Directv installed yesterday. They were scheduled to be at my house sometime between 1-5. Knowing the service industry pretty well, I assumed that'd be more like 6. Well, imagine my frustration when the guy called AT 6 telling me he'd be there at 7. THEN, didn't call or show up until 9:15.
Well, I was even willing to forgive him for that (not that he was sorry or anything), but he basically wandered around my house for 10 minutes, told me I had an aluminum roof (which, I guess means he couldn't mount it up there even though we have 3 brick chimneys) and then LEFT. He didn't even tell us he was leaving!! He just busted out.
So, needless to say, because we're without any TV service at this point, and the game is tomorrow, I was starting to get a little [censored]ed. I am fairly confident a dish CAN be put somewhere on our property since our neighbor has one pointing at TREES.
Anyway, a "supervisor" called me back this morning an they scheduled the appointment with a "specialist" for Saturday between 8-10. Talk about cutting it down to the wire...
