If you cancel it within a year from signing up they charge you the fee. I'm sure they will waive it and the monthly fee if you ask and state you never wanted it.

I think if you use a debit card then you get the two week notice, otherwise little to no notice. At least that is what I remember reading somewhere a long time ago...

Yes. It worked for me! Saved me a lot of trouble vs running new cat5 to the other rooms.

I noticed that on my hr-22 that whenever I power my box off when I turn it back on it is on the Cinema channel. It no long stays on the channel it was on so it no longer records. I tested this and it does it even if the box is turned off for a minute. This just started in the last hour or so...

I had to get a 1 million dollar liability policy to have my dish, and maintain it as long as I have the dish up. Are you sure they are not looking for that insurance and not one on the tech?

I thought the upgrades always came with new and the replacements could be refurbished. I would call and raise hell about it, they are committing you to a new 2 year agreement with used equipment. Tell then they either need to reduce the commitment time to one year or send out a new box that...

It takes my HD-DVR 7-10 days to download all the info after the data is lost. I bet if you give it a few days more and more data will become available. I would select a program a week out on the guide, make note of what info is available and come back the next day.

Anyone else notice the elimination of the quick delete from the list? I haven't done a CE in a few weeks, but I did so last night on my H22-100 and now when I go to quick delete (dash key twice), it brings up the playlist options. I know there is an alternative (the red key), but that brings...

These people work for Aloroca who is paid by D* by the total hours worked. These special projects are temporary, this one prolly handling inbound calls related to the cancelation of the NFL Sunday Ticket and the movie channels that went along with it when they are no longer free. D* hires...

Have a program set to record from 5-8 every morning. This morning I go to play it but the show is in my playlist but when I play the show it is 30 seconds from Gem TV. The light on the DVR is not light, but when I hit record on the show (as it still is on) a pop up message indicates that it is...

The 14 day window only applies in certain states, and if you order through Direct Sales (through DirecTV directly) AND the information you receive in writing from DirecTV does not match what you have on your bill. So unless the price is different than what you have in writing AND you live in...

I have this message too, it just means your locals are moving from the 72 satellite and you will need MPEG 4 equipment (HD boxes) and a dish that can pull in the right satellite. If you have HD now AND all your boxes are HD (even if the tv is not) you are good to go.

Awe, you forget that D* is a business. While they may not make money lots of money off the PPV, the alternative is to PAY money to provide an HD feed. The cost of adding the HD channels at this point won't be offset by subscribers coming to D* or by sups not leaving because of the HD adds.

You haven't seen the new GUI, have you? Even on my HR-22 the guide moves fast when scrolling through the guide... Now the channel change rate is less then desirable, but I have an HR-22 that is still downloading VOD channels.

After 1 reset I was worried about another and losing the guide data I did have. This morning I do have more VOD channels, but channel 1 and 1100 are still unavailable. (not that I care about the help channel)... I'm just wondering if anyone else is still waiting on the VOD content.
