    Futile effort (undoubtably) to explain my issues with DirecTV.

    I sent a Tweet to YouTube TV saying I was probably leaving DirecTV after 25+ years. DirecTV support saw it and a support person contacted me saying "Let's talk. Maybe I can help". I couldn't help myself. I felt compelled to send them an IM with my issues. _______________ Hi Sherma. I don't...

    Want to upgrade equipment

    I know I'm paying too much but I like the service/interface and I'm dealing with WAF (wife approval factor) issues. She wouldn't want to leave DirecTV. But I do have pretty old equipment. I'd like to get new equipment from one end to the other. I have a HR-44-700 and two C41W Genies. The...

    I still pay that darn $10 a month for HD. I have this feeling I'm the only one. Who else pays this? Can I call and get it removed forever?

    Local reception issues in Jacksonville, FL

    Lately I've been getting pixelization on locals channels. It seems to be getting worse. I've not noticed it on any national channels (CNN, ESPN, etc.) When I check the spreadsheet for what satellite my locals are coming from, it appears to be 103s. Although the transponders all say 18...

    Power Use on DVR Normal and Standby

    Can I do the non-supported MRV?

    When I called Directv a few weeks back they said to set me up with the MRV would require a tech coming out and it would cost a fair amount (maybe $199). Looking on the boards here it sounds like you can do a non-DECA do it yourself version. I have no problem paying the $3 fee. Here's what...

    Are the Encore channels ever going HD?

    Did a search here and didn't see it discussed. Has there been any talk one way or the other about the Encore channels in HD?

    Picture on 100 better/worse than 700?

    Just got a new 100 and I don't think HD picture is as crisp as my 700. Am I imagining that?

    Cable advice on Hr10-250 needed

    Just got a home theater package. However the audio in is Coaxial (looks like a RCA to me), but the Audio out on the 10-250 is optical. Is there a cable out there that goes Optical on one end and coaxial on the other? Or have I just bought the wrong receiver?
