So I took everyone's thoughts into this and ended up jumping back to DTV. Although overall Tivo would be cheaper if I bought lifetime - I didn't do that since if I didn't want to keep the Tivo boxes I didn't want to be stuck already have paid for a lifetime sub. Cablevision also charges monthly...

Great thanks for the feedback. I have a pretty solid internet connection at home (100MB down 30MB up business cable line) but do have 1 room that in the future will have to utilize wireless genie due to it's location from where I cabled the house with cat6 cabling (I would have to run the cable...

Thanks. I didn't realize that you could see content on the other DVR from the first DVR. So does that mean I could have the Genie in Room 1, HD DVR in Room 2 ($199 fee to buy it) and then a Genie Mini in Room 3? And the DVR's can see each other's recordings? And since the mini is like a mirror...

I left DirecTV to go with my local cable provider due to severe differences in pricing. However, after being with my local provider for a few weeks (Cablevision) I had to go out and buy Tivo Roamio receivers (with mini's) due to the terrible DVR functions of their cloud DVRs. The reason I bring...

It's quite simple. If I do nothing then after 1 y ear my $120 monthly rate starts going up and I have to pay $329 for the NFL Sunday Ticket on top of that. Or if I wait until August and call to cancel they give me the entire Sunday ticket for $100 or less (sometimes free) and give me the $120...

I've been a - not so loyal - customer since 2002 with DirecTV. Ever since getting my first apartment I wanted to see what it was all about and for the most part, I have found the service and their equipment to be excellent. More recently their OnDemand has been much easier to access and I've...

Well glad to hear some good things. I had DirecTV in the past and overall had a great experience. Never had an install issue, outage problem - I just hated the ever-rising rates when cable was dirt cheap. I decided to buckle down save some money and now it is time to return to DTV (just in time...

I had DirecTV installed back in December 2010 and I am currently in a contract with them. I have Cablevision (Ultra Package) for my internet and voice. I am moving to a house and I am just not sure if I want to have a satellite dish installed. I know I cannot cancel and get out of my contract...

Strange issue this weekend that I was able to fix. I had DirecTV installed on Saturday and VOD didn't work which I figured was normal. But 24 hours later it still didn't work. After selecting something for download, it would immediately show up in my history of recorded shows as "canceled -...

the installer was a tool who kept pushing their branded internet connection that was 5mbit down (15mbit down in the "future") instead of my 100mbit internet line. I'll call shortly about the MRV but I installed the Directv2PC SOftware and it works great. Not sure if the two are related but I...

Well I received both receivers but it says I do not have MRV enabled and to call DirecTV. However the installer said I have to wait 24 hours and I assume it is for MRV service as well as On Demand to start working.

I don't understand why the new DirecTV model of Tivo's would not have MRV. Currently DirecTV offers this on their DVRs. And Tivo offers their multi-room dvr sharing on their current boxes.

I think the rep was just misinformed. I have it being installed now. And this apartment complex has each apartment separate in terms of networks. so I have a closet with a router that hooks up to my internet. I connect all my network jacks in each room up to it so when I hookup each DirecTV HD...

I ordered through an apartment installer company (they resell the DirecTV service), two HD DVRs (HR-24s will be installed). I called back on another question and they said I cannot have MRV with two HD DVRs - I need 1 DVR and the rest receivers in order to utilize it. Is this true? It makes...

If these new receivers are similar to the new Premier TIVOs then you are going to love the super slow interface they have now. A lot slower than older tivos.
