Yeah I really don't need OTA, I get all my locals in HD though Directv, so its not a big deal. But the Ethernet is very important, because I'm really only getting the box for the mult-iroom viewing, I currently have one HDDVR, and 2 standards, and Ive been hooking my laptop upto my hdtv in my...

haha hey its all good, Im always really nice to the installers.

So I just ordered a new HD reciver from DTV, I got free isntallation, and $99 for the box no special deal onthe box, I work at best buy and could of gottin the box for $75 with my discount but, it would fo been $50 for the install and would of came out to the sme price. Anyways my question is...

that sounds llot better, so you have hd on the R22 softwre? thats sounds pretty sweet :D

Ok I have this setup, Apparently someone told em too is tehre gonan charge for isntallation because im adding anotehr HD-DVR, I eman I can settle for a HD-Reciver, without the dvr if it gets to that point. But my current setup is this: 2 Standard recivers 1 HD-DVR and I believe its a...

No no custom work, they can wire right though the basement, very simple install, and no this is an additional receiver not an upgrade, but besides even if it was an upgrade form a standard receiver they would still need to wire a second coax cable to the hddvr, makes lil sense to me. Also what...

what? Im not sure if i understand what your getting at with the secound part. But the "Equipment" department at DirecTV told em I would have to pay $50 for installation and $20 to ship it to the installer, plus the whole price of the HD-DVR ($200) just doesn't seem right to em at all.

Ok so I'm so confused. I always read, how everyone says to order the Reciever Directly from DirecTv because you get Free installation right? idk, im just so confused the total came out to being this when i called. $199.99 - HD-DVR $49.99 - Installation $19.99 - To Ship it to the Installer...

This was on display at DirecTV's 2009 CEDIA booth Anyone have any information on these brand new boxes? New model? new hardware inside? UPDATE: Ironically looks very simlar to the R16 https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/equipment/dvr_receiver

I had a similar experience when I first got Directv, I stayed up 24hours to because i was afraid I was gonna miss the installer or something crazy, I was also really excited to get the service i was so sick of time warners lack of HD channels. Congrats though, Directv has amazing customer...

yeah same here, when ever it gets really cloudy signal fades on hd channels, sound may break up allot, SD channels rarely go out though.

No hes right, the HR-22-700 is a terrible box, its very slow when your dvr gets down to liek 30% space, also there are actually two different versions of the HR22-700, one has a glossy finsih, that one over heats like gets to 100F inside and goes slow, and then six month later same model but...

I guess it has somethign todo with the FCC, i know its crazy, but I guess its because those certain stations are only approved to be viewed in there areas by the FCC, but your not supposed to be able to view other eaqst and west feeds of local stations in your area, because i guess it comes down...

That statement from DirecTv pisses me off so much, first off because Movie channels will typically be the first thing to go on DirecTV for customers not just because there trying to save money on the bill, but its because they cant justify the ridiculous prices, There not providing all of the...

I always see under the hood improvements, what does that mean?
