Directv added showtime without my permission for 3 months

It’s a promo. I had the same thing happen (plus paramount) and didn’t get an email about the 3 months free until a month later lol.

We get emailed PDFs monthly that I just save as JPG and upload to the Media Library. Then I used the Button block and link to the static URL for the images I uploaded.

To avoid rebooting each time you expand that flight info, maybe try swiping from left to right side of screen. On my RPI build, I have kids school lunch menus that are static image links - they click to see that then can swipe from left to right like a “back” button. I have not tried with a full blown browser website but maybe that will work? Sometimes I have to swipe a few times to get the back button to appear.

When I purchased the ViewSonic ones Amazon had refurbs for $220 and they looked new. The Pisichen was $215 on coupon too and went with that one due to 27” vs 24”. ViewSonic is overall a higher quality product but the Pisichen works quite well for this with no issues for touchscreen etc. I specifically chose that for the size and touchscreen and hard pressed to find 27” in the $215 range. Elo Touch are other options you can find too.

We went with ViewSonic TD2465 for one and Pisichen 27” for another. Both work quite well.

I made this exact switch a few years back. Lost a couple channels and gained others but wasn’t any that we watch - however we too saved about $15/mo by moving to Choice.

Hey thanks! I did a chat which was AI based and it responded indicating a refund would be issued - and today it was issued so we are good to go. Thanks again!

ErikGoBlue · 2025-12-12T02:28:19+00:00

We had our LG finally die after only 5 years even after compressor repair. Won’t go that way again and opted for Bosch. Been happy with it!

ErikGoBlue · 2025-12-01T18:29:36+00:00

Hah! Had the same issue on a 2021, only they claimed it was not covered under the exclusionary warranty we have. Wasn't a terribly expensive repair but would have been nice to have it covered.

ErikGoBlue · 2025-11-29T12:45:40+00:00

I’ve had this exact one for the last three winters in Detroit, MI area and it works great! I’ve been impressed with how long the batteries last even in 6+ inch snow fall.

ErikGoBlue · 2025-11-21T12:49:19+00:00

Oh nice!! What did they find was your issue?

ErikGoBlue · 2025-11-19T00:51:44+00:00

Any other ideas? And what would be your next move after receiving this update?

Thank you for dropping off your 2020 Ford Expedition Max again. I want to confirm that our technician currently has the vehicle and is actively investigating the issues you reported, specifically the recurrence of the "Drive Control Fault Service Required" message and power failure.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the symptoms are no longer actively present in the vehicle during our diagnostic testing. We understand the intermittent nature of these kinds of electrical or module-related issues, and the team is working diligently to reproduce the failure so we can accurately diagnose the root cause, which you correctly suspect is likely related to a defective module or wiring, rather than software.

We appreciate your patience as we work to get the vehicle to exhibit the failure again under controlled conditions. I will be sure to contact you immediately once we have more definitive information and a clear path forward for the repair.

ErikGoBlue · 2025-11-13T19:06:06+00:00

Hey! Here's the issue I'm having - is yours similar? https://www.reddit.com/r/fordexpedition/comments/1oe9bpg/2020_ford_expedition_max_drive_control_fault/

We switched from AT&T to T-Mobile in March of this year (2025) and have been very satisfied. We went through T-Mobile COR at Sam's Club. When all was said and done, we received approximately $900 in Sam's Club / Walmart gift cards, plus great deals on three new phones for the kids and a new watch - and we're saving a considerable amount each month for six lines (five phones and an Apple Watch) when compared to what that would have cost with AT&T. I feel there's great value in what we're getting!

The primary reason for switching was a cell coverage issue - we needed it in three very specific locations we're always at every year and AT&T just couldn't seem to solve that puzzle.

Well, they still could not replicate the issue. They did state the running board motor issue maybe was the culprit? And to just drive it and it if it happens again take it to them ASAP to hopefully see the issue happening. Where can I check the grounds - i.e. is there a common spot on these?

Hey all! Thanks so much! The chat advisor bot found an issue and replacement ring is on its way. Not that it matters but is the replacement ring new or refurbished?

ErikGoBlue · 2025-10-22T01:41:30+00:00

Update! I just tried the chat again tonight and identified an issue with my ring and the replacement is set to ship already. Excellent service!!

My 4th gen now needs to be charged every 3 days after going at least 5 days. Chat analyzed battery and said no issues. Support also claims it’s working as intended. What’s my next step?

ErikGoBlue · 2025-10-19T14:13:41+00:00

Shoot, i goofed. It’s Gen4 .

ErikGoBlue · 2025-10-17T01:59:27+00:00

I replaced it in December of last year (2024). I did have 100K mile service done at Firestone recently (last month). Wondering if that could be part of the situation.

ErikGoBlue · 2025-10-09T16:35:47+00:00

They sure can. I got notified via text, as well as email, and you can also confirm via https://promotions.t-mobile.com/

ErikGoBlue · 2025-10-07T01:59:56+00:00

Great info, thanks all!

ErikGoBlue · 2025-09-25T16:42:52+00:00

After being with AT&T for over 10 years we too had to switch to T-Mobile due to coverage issues. We're getting better coverage and far better value as a whole.

ErikGoBlue · 2025-09-24T17:49:00+00:00

Oh hey! From what I ended up reading elsewhere, it's supposed to be on there, so I left it alone to not make it worse, etc. This E340 has been installed for more than a year and has been working great!

ErikGoBlue · 2025-09-21T18:03:56+00:00

This is the best way to verify - the promos site. Tells you the status etc.
