Any Passions fans switching

to Direct TV? Now that we know Direct TV is picking up Passions after NBC drops it in the fall, I was wondering if it's worth it to switch to Direct TV? Are any of you (fans only please) switching? If any of you already have it, are you satisfied with the service?

I am not going to switch to direct tv. I will just have to check on soapoperafan.com. I am hoping that Soapnet picks up the show so we would be able to see the re runs.

Well, since NBC.com/daytime/passions has a section where you can watch the episodes every day, I'm not switching.

No, My family and I do not plan on switching. We have looked into DirecTV as opposed to staying with Dish Network. It seems like a down grade. With Dish we get 2 recievers, but each one is a dual reciever, which means you can use one reciever to watch 2 TVs and 2 channels at the same time. DirecTV gives you recievers that only allow you to watch one channel per reciever. So I would need four of them to be able to get it in my family room, living room, and 2 bed rooms. You have to pay extra for extra recievers. With Dish we don't have to. Plus Dish is cheaper in the long run (if you read the fine print on the DirecTV deals the sale price reverts back to regular price in about a year). Plus we were supposed to get some kind of deal by saying we are passions fans to DirecTV. But when I called them they had no idea what I was talking about beyond the fact that Passions is getting picked up by them. *rolls eyes* Not to mention all the hassle switching for one show would entail.

Oh, and I want to disabuse people of the notion that they will be able to find Passions elsewhere. NBC signed an exclusivity agreement with DirecTV. This means no one BUT DirecTV can show Passions anywhere for the next year. That includes NBC. So there will be NO MORE Passions available on NBC's website. I'm sorry but its the truth. The only way you will be able to find Passions anywhere besides DirecTV is if you find it illegally somewhere online.

Otherwise if you don't switch, like me, you will be forced to keep up with the show through recaps, screen caps, and message board talk, or decide to forget about it all together.

I also have Dish Network and Direct Tv is a rip off. You pay a lot more for a lot less. So, no I won't be switching either.
