I'll note that this does not appear to be official news, but rather a regurgitation of the same anecdotal findings from this forum. I am curious to see how long before DTV makes an official statement about this. They eventually will have to.
Yep that's what I was going to say. It claims "Directv announced" this but there is no link to such an announcement. So either that claim is untrue, or they forgot to include a link to Directv's site showing this announcement.
