    Whole House Viewing

    Yes, I pushed the red button and waited to make sure it was all done and everything worked as scheduled after that.

    Whole House Viewing

    I had one HD box stop receiving Whole House. I did the reset on my box and got it back. I hope it is that simple for you.

    New Directv customer as of 02-17-11 with a question about signal levels.

    Looks like my numbers with the exception of a few zeros too.

    Lost absolute now I have to pay to send their equipment back.

    Okay, you have two receivers so they will be sending you two boxes and two labels. What if you box those two receivers in their separate boxes and then firmly tape them together and use only one label. Will that work? It sucks and I'm trying to save some money, albeit $15.

    If I get MRV, any benefit with 2 HDDVR's?

    Viventis, did you decide to go with the 2 HDDVRs? Also, I live in the same general area as you, did you order online or go with someone local? Thanks, Nick

    Possible Switch to DirecTV with an MRV Question

    I now have 3 TVs but planning to go to 4. I was thinking about the 2 DVRs even with the MRV.

    Possible Switch to DirecTV with an MRV Question

    Thinking of switching from Dish and have a question about MRV. If someone wants to watch a previously recorded show from another room, can I continue to watch a show, recorded or live, from the main TV with the DVR? With Dish I like the function of my 625 being able to watch separate shows on 2...

    625 Problem

    On Tuner 1, we lose signal for several channels, most especially in the evenings but sometimes during the daytime as well. I checked signal strength and I get low strength for that Tuner at that time. I check Tuner 2 at the same time and I have good (75 or so) strength. I saw another post that...

    HD Upgrade Questions

    I would consider $75 much quicker if he had offered that. He told me that there was a minimum of $99 for installation and $150 was his only offer. I understand about trying to get a different CSR but they should be more consistent even if they stay high. I appreciate the explanation of the...

    HD Upgrade Questions

    I just spoke with one of the Dish/Embarq 'specialists'. They said $150 for the HD-DVR and that covered installation. Too much. I guess I will be watching SD for a while. I wonder if part of the problem is dealing with 'specialists' since I am going through Embarq(now CenturyLink). Does that...

    HD Upgrade Questions

    Thanks for your reply. What was the $75 deal? Do you think I will have to pay for the install? What about the present wiring, will it be sufficient without having to rewire? They just put in in a little over a year ago. I am hesitant to pay for an install when I am going to be paying more for a...

    I am considering upgrading to HD after upgrading the TVs in the house. Presently I am on the Classic Gold 250 plan. My dish is the 500 and pointed 110 and 119. We have the DuoDVR625 and a plain single non DVR receiver that I can't remember the number of. I just passed one year with the Dish...

    625 TV2 problems

    The goal was only accomplished with your advice. I am very thankful. Hopefully there won't be another problem, but if there is I will read more carefully. Thanks again.:up Nick Edit: Just to let you know that TV2 is still coming in loud and clear!

    625 TV2 problems

    I just tried changing to channel 21 first and it worked so I left it there. Are you saying that I would be better off on channel 3 or4? TV2 is coming in loud and clear this morning. The picture on that TV looks better than it has since we got DishNetwork. If you say I need to try 3 or 4 as well...

    625 TV2 problems

    Tried channel 21 and the picture seems to be much better than before and so far no snow. I didn't try the channel 3 or 4 yet but if I have more problems I will. I will check it out again tomorrow and repost. Thanks harshness! I knew I would come to the right place.:up
