    NFL locals

    Can you claim a different address or zip code to get out of market NFL games with any of the streaming services? For instance, I live in a NY locals part of PA, so I get stuck with Giants and Jets instead of the Eagles. In the past, I was able to claim a Philly address with Directv, which gave...

    Playlist keep disappearing from my clients?

    Hey, wondering if anyone can help. My playlists keep disappearing from my H25's. I have an HR44 for my DVR. When I do a hard reset on the H25, the playlist comes back. Does anyone have any clues? It's happening just about every night on both of my H25's. Any help is appreciated.

    Quick question on running 2 T.V.'s

    Hey guys, just a quick question about having one box output to two T.V's. Having a big superbowl party this Sunday, and was wondering if my HR 44 would output the game to a second T.V. and have them both pretty much synced? Would it be possible to hook up the HDMI and the red green blue cables...

    I have an HR34 and the video is stuttering. I called D*, the guy had me change a few settings and reboot, and the problem went away.

    Is there anyway to get the input button to work with my T.V.? I have a Sharp flat screen and the remote controls the volume and such. I also set it up for AV1, and the menu button works, but not the T.V. input button. I can't navigate the menu though, as the up and down arrows seem to just...

    Finally got D* yesterday, this HR34 is pretty cool.

    Switched from Dish to Direct, and got the HR34 and 3 HD receivers. I must say that I am pretty impressed so far. It is really nice setting up recordings, and not having to worry about any conflicts with the 5 tuners. The receivers seems seems very responsive so far. My 722 actually had more lag...

    Question about refer a friend????

    I am switching from Dish, and was pricing out my setup on the D* site. I asked the chat rep a couple of questions, and one was about refer a friend. He claimed that I might not receive all of the discounts if I signed up using the referral. Is this true??

    Why are the rental movies so expensive?

    Just returned a movie to redbox, and noticed that the same movie was $5.99 to rent from dish. Why are the movies so expensive to rent over Satellite or Cable providers, but only cost a buck to rent from red box? Are the providers charged a lot more by the studios for the content? You would kind...

    Return receiver fee's?

    I will be leaving Dish soon, and remember reading somewhere about return receiver fee's. I believe it was $15. Is that per receiver? I have a 722, and 2 211's. Would it cost me $45 to return them? Could I drop them off with a local installer to avoid the charge?

    Was anything said at CES on NY sports, or is that just a forgotten subject now. I know everyone has a case of Hoppermania, but my contract will be up this year, and I'd like to know if they are at least trying to work out a deal with the NY RSN's.

    Problem with 211K and remote

    I have a small problem with the 211k and my Remote. When I first turn the receiver on, the remote won't work for 2-3 minutes. I can change the channel at the box, but not with the remote. After that it works fine. It doesn't happen every time, but I would have to say at least 80%.
