Does this happen to you?

[TheOriginalJames]

Who's your TV provider? I have directV and you know what? I hate it.

The shows are really really quiet, so I have to turn it up, and then a commercial comes on and it's LOUD, so I have to turn it down.

No it has nothing to do with my hearing. I never noticed this on Comcast. Is it some sort of ploy by the company to get you to listen to the money making crap even though 90% of the world mutes it anyway?

It happens. A lot.

i cant stand this DirectTV shit. what really bites is when it rains, the reception goes to shit with this DirectTV crap. i will be glad when your contract is up with them and you go to FiosTV....

 

[TheOriginalJames]

ooooh so it's a TV/phone/internet provider like the US company Verizon then?

Well, if you want to split the contract cancellation fee like 40/60 or 30/70, we can get rid of this asap...

It's been 5 months since we got it.

Yup and it provides better service for half the price, I've got 40 meg broadband compared to 8 with Sky!

 

[BaggedSplash]

DAMN! 40 mb upload speeds?!

Shit, 15mb is more than I'll ever use and thats what we have.

Just get a TV that has the Steady Sound option. It helps alot, if not get rid of it completely.

i have Comcast digital cable. its ok. now comcast internet sucks. always getting knocked off lately.

 

[HouseOvaries]

Never...

 

[SRC]

you know why that does that don't you? They do it on purpose, so that when you get up and leave the room (for a soda, bathroom, change clothes .. whatever) you are still exposed to the commercials that are on and advertising.

 

[NuckingFuts]

Holl shit I thought it was just my Direct TV.

 

[Haus]

my neighbor got direct TV through Verizon and she hates it. she calls Verizon and they said you got to go call Direct TV and then she calls Direct TV and they say you got to call Verizon
