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...

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...

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 -...

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...

I probably should have asked this - before ordering the service, but what exactly is DirecTV's On Demand service? I ask this coming from using on demand on cable and fios where you get those clunky interfaces for HBO and Showtime to choose their selected programming for that week. I loved it...

After an issue with my first install (they couldn't get it working in my new apartment complex), I am now having DirecTV installed with two HD DVR boxes and the premier package. One question I have is, when DirecTV puts out new equipment, is it normally hard to get upgraded to it? Is there...

I am looking to pickup DirecTV in my new apartment and wanted to see if anyone from this area (NJ/NY) switched from Cablevision. Currently, I just use my TIVO with my provider so I do not have the on-demand channels anyway. Since DirecTV carries YES! Network, I get all of my Yankee games so I...

Back in November 2007 I had moved so I canceled my account. I had two DVRs and my Internet Modem. In December 2007 I received boxes to return them and shipped them out. Since then about every two months I started receiving collections notices that I had an oustanding balance of $2000 for...

Well, I've been having tons of optimum issues. With the basic package of optimum, I drop a lot of packets rather frequently. When I upgraded to Boost - that problem stopped, but throughout the weekend and evenings most days, the cable modem would restart as though I unplugged and replugged it...

Well, I have a tech scheduled to come out since this issue hasn't been resolved - but it has been hard to get a Saturday date when I am available. For about a month, I've had my cable go out for hours at a time for no reason at all. I'm in an apartment complex with the cable box outside of my...

I've been a cablevision subscriber for awhile but when FIOS was in the area I moved over to them (2 years ago) since they offered a major discount for existing cable subscribers and cablevision wasn't willing to lower my rates. I switched back to Cablevision when I moved last year and...

I have family that want to get the Triple Play Package, however, since they are an existing Cablevision customer, they are not eligible. I heard that they might be able to get similar deals since they have been a customer for such a long time but I am not sure if this is accurate. Is there...

My girlfriends parents got an HDTV Plasma Screen and currently have an older analog cablebox. Now I hooked up the coax cable directly to the TV and they get all of their channels (They have Family Basic) including YES which they get on all other TVs with just the coax cable hooked up...

A friend of mine just purchased a 50" Plasma HDTV set which has the Cable card slot. They are still in the stone age and do not currently use a cablebox (just directly connecting from the coax). They are on one of the family plans and I am trying to figure out what they would need to get HDTV...

I am a previous Cablevision subscriber and enjoyed the service along with my Optimum Online. I ended up switching to Dish Network though last year in October due to the fact that they offered a great price for 3 receivers (one with 2 tuners built-in) and their best package. Each receiver...

I had my Dish installed the first week of february and it was hooked up with 3 lines. Two lines to my DIsh Player-DVR 625 in my living room (using two tuners on one tv) and the 3rd line direct to my DishDVR 510 in my bedroom. Everything has been working fine until this week. The Dish...

First off, before I get into any details and bore people to death, is it possible to dial out for the downloads on the Dish Network with VoIP? I recently moved and had a telephone line hooked up to my dish for nightly programming updates. Now in my new location, I have Vonage VoIP and split...

I just moved to a new location and had a new Dish Network satellite installed and brought over two of my three tuners. Everything is working fine and in my old location (which I am still staying in certain days during the week) the receiver there is still working. I do plan to take that and...

This seems like a silly question, however, my landlord in the house I just moved into is asking if I can try and have my satellite dish (dish network dish as well as the superdish) placed 18" up on the utility pole outside of the house on his property. He said that he has seen other places...

I am sure this will be addressed in the manual I get for this DVR but I figured it may influence what tvs hook up to this. I plan to have the 522 mainly hooked up for my TV in my bedroom and have the 2nd tuner going to my tv for my nephew in the porch. I read that this DVR shares all...

I tried searching a bit but couldn't find anything to answer my question SO this is what I am getting setup from Dish Network. I will be getting one 522 , and two 510's . Now I have a 5th TV that will not be used heavily and therefore, I don't see a need to have a receiver for it. Is it...
