    Price Increase coming in February

    I looked at the cost of our service plus the cost of our internet with Spectrum/charter and found that we could save the internet cost by doing the Spectrum/charter triple play. Plus the Sliver program actually give us more programming than Directv. Yes we did give up the convenience of the...

    Freezing on Genie at various times during use

    Now I have been told by the tech support and the sales support that the HR34 and the HR44 are the same. (even though I was to understand on Satellite Guys the HR44 has a faster processor) If you have an HR34 you may or may not get an HR44 should the HR34 fail. Now the premium upgrade plan do not...

    Moving from DIRECTV to Optimum

    Thanks for the information and advice. I will find out if Optimum has improved with the DVR they use. I did not realize that Optimum was under the cablevision umbrella. I was aware that Optimum West was Bresnan. Optimum has no contract. I am more of a college football fan than an NFL fan.

    Dish network account number

    If you have a Telco partner try your phone number with area code and you can then set a new user name and password. I think I remember doing this last year or more.

    I am on my third 622. The first was the HDMI problem and the other one was the hard drive. The current one I have requires unplugging every now and then due to no sound, picture freeze, or hanging up when navigating in the interactive sections. I will see what I will be sent when this 622...
