How much is it a month? They do still charge a monthly fee don't they? That's one reason I haven't got one yet.

I think you can pay a one time fee of like $400. Or $20 a month. It may have changed

Hey Hamma,

I have a question about DirecTV, how fast does it change channels? I know with Comcast Digital Cable it is a good 1.5-2 seconds to change channels... That doesn't sound like a lot, but when flipping channels it is painful!

From what I can tell the rate at how fast the channel change depends on the digital box you have. My dad use to have an old RCA one when DirectTV first came out and it was slow as all hell....got a new Sony one and its lighting quick....almost no delay.

DirecTV is about 1/2 to one second lag time when changing channels.

The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
