NO problems here such as you have encountered.
Did notice that DirecTV moved the MGMHD and other HDmovie channels to a different tier with a $4.99/month price tag.
Which puts them in the same frame of mind for me as HBO, Showtime, CM, etc. "Why do I need to pay to watch 20 year old movies?"
Oh that really ticked me off. We've been paying for just a few measily HD channels and finally get some more; then they take them away from us and want 5 bucks extra for the few we had. Their foreign-sounding customer service rep just couldn't understand why I was aggravated.
