    Real Cost of Directv Stream in CT

    I find it hard to believe that DTV cannot tell me the cost of their service including taxes. Can anyone tell me what they are really paying for the Streaming service? I'm thinking about getting the Choice package only, no add on's or boxes. I live in CT, but I'm sure your state is similar to...

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    I really don't like 1088. I don't think I want to force a beta update, however, I am tempted. One of the most annoying things about the new UI is that the alphabetical sort in the Play List doesn't stick! Is there something I can do to fix that, or am I going to have to hope that DTV "fixes"...

    Whole Home DVR Set up

    Whole Home DVR Set up

    So I'm guessing this isn't possible, but I'm going to check with you guys anyway. My wife would like the whole home dvr service, but at $250.00 it's just not going to happen. However, if I can do it myself I can make her happy......and as a result I'll be happy. I have an HR-21 in my living...
