I came home from a two-week business trip that felt a lot longer than 14 days. When I finally walked inside my house, my hands were filled with luggage, two weeks of mail, and my…
Today was the blog team’s time in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is where they keep the big TVs. There were in fact an ungodly number of big TVs, but mostly…
There was a time, way back when… that DIRECTV and DISH had massive presences at the CES show (back when CES stood for Consumer Electronics Show… now it doesn’t stand for anything). I remember the big…
It was a rainy — and surprisingly quiet — day 1 at the CES show in Las Vegas. It’s possible that the unseasonably wet weather kept the crowds away, or it could just be that the…
There’s been a video floating around the internet about a woman who was “scammed” when a door-to-door representative switched her from DIRECTV to DISH, and she said she wasn’t informed. In the end, she was switched…

Does this receiver look familiar? It’s the DIRECTV D12, the last standard-definition-only receiver ever made by DIRECTV. Believe it or not, it only went out of service for commercial customers last year and actually in most…
So, yeah, I’m decidedly mixed when it comes to my feelings toward Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. If you don’t believe me, here’s the proof: I wasted an hour of company time writing a review of it….
And I bet they can do it. AT&T put out a press release saying that they will have real, actual mobile 5G service in their phones and within 12 cities by the end of the year….
Nothing like settling in to an evening of televised entertainment… courtesy of DIRECTV. If you have DIRECTV service at home, there’s no reason not to put a DIRECTV dish on your RV as well. DIRECTV’s rules…
