These comments were in response to the Gary Merson piece I
distributed yesterday.
Dale:
In talking with the equipment department at PegasusTV, I was told that they can not sell a
3rd LNB for my elipitcal dish. However, they will send me a new 3 LNB dish for the price
of the UPS ground shipping ($19.95). He said he would credit my bill for $99, their price
of the dish because I was a long term customer as I have subscribed since 1998.
He still did not have a clue as to how to sell the the new HDTV 4 channel package or if
they even have such a package. I would guess that once the new dish is up, I should see a
number to call to add the new channels when one of them is selected for viewing. Perhaps
the phone number displayed will connect to someone who has more of a clue!
This saga to be continued ....

Thanks for the info!
A couple disappointing findings by me:
a) DirecTV.com has no info other than the original press release
a. You can not upgrade your package online
b. Channels are not listed in the channel lineup
c. The FAQ about HDTV list only the old four channels
d. There isn't even a link to the press release from the HDTV section
b) When calling 1-800-DirecTV there are no prompts to order the HDTV
package
a. I went through all the tree's before trying the old "press 0"
trick
b. It promptly said "we are having technical difficulties" and
hung up on me!
I E-mailed their customer service group and will let you know when I
hear back from them.
Who knew it would be so hard to give my money away!
Thanks,
Dale:
In the rural market, PegasusTV doesn't even know the new HD channels are coming
online. Clueless!
I am on the phone with PegasusTV at the moment!!!
