    Looking to go back to DirecTV - some questions

    Good to know. Thanks guys. I now know which route to go and certainly will take advantage of the free install and eqt. Just need to decide what kind of deal I'm looking for as a returning customer. Will see what I can work out.

    Thanks. That's the info I was hoping to hear. Makes me feel a bit better.

    Looking to go back to DirecTV - some questions

    Service address is not physical address. If they install it certainly would look strange to "move" right after an installation. That's why it seems less confusing for me to acquire, self install and then activate. Perhaps Dishstore might be an option?

    Looking to go back to DirecTV - some questions

    I cancelled my service several years ago, returned the "leased" receivers and uninstalled and discarded my slimline dish. Looking to reinstate service and I don't want any installers coming to my home. What's the current model D* DVR that I can buy online? Does D* still use access cards? What...

    MLB.TV Comes to Roku

    What kind of display are you using and what size? Mine is a 60" plasma. According to the Roku forum, my problems were not just limited to me. It appeared to be fairly widespread, and Roku engineers acknowleded it as well.

    MLB.TV Comes to Roku

    Yesterday MLB.TV was having major problems streaming through Roku. Some games had no audio, some games took over 10 minutes to produce a stream, and all had a jittery, washed out look. Yes, I know it's a beta, but it has been rolled out to everyone that owns a Roku box and they are charging...

    HR21 Software Release 0x0221 4/3

    I've hooked up a new HR21 last night. How can I force it to get a download of the latest software? Or do I just have to wait it out?

    Diffrences between HR21-100 & HR21-200

    So that means that if an authorized internet seller (Amazon) advertises and sells someone an HR21-700 but they ship an HR21-200, no big deal??

    My H20 may be fried?

    Yes I'm aware of the two year contract. That's not a problem as I recently "purchased" an HR21 at BB within the past month, so I'm already committed for two years.

    My H20 may be fried?

    Thanks for clarifying, Randy. Heck, if I can find a "deal" on an HR21, I may even pick up one of those since I'm already paying the DVR fee.

    My H20 may be fried?

    This would be my primary receiver, per their records, because I'm already paying a lease fee on my HR21 which they have as an additional receiver. So then, bottom line, it's just costing me $20 for the convenience of not having to wait for a service tech. Correct?

    My H20 may be fried?

    I have an owned H20. Last night it wouldn't turn on so I pushed reset. It went through the reset cycle and began working again after getting the initial satellite download. However it only worked for about 15 minutes and then I got "searching for satellite". I tried reset again, and it would...

    HD Access Special Offer $0.00

    It's not the HD Extra pack that I'm referring to. For many months my account had a line item below Total Choice that said "HD Access Special Offer $0.00" I've emailed CS at D* and awaiting their response. Just curious to hear from any other folks on this forum who had the "HD Access Special...

    HD Access Special Offer $0.00

    I subscribe to Total Choice, which I understand D* is no longer offering. My billing statement would show Total Choice at $47.99 and HD Access Special Offer $0.00. I was getting my locals in HD, HD Net and my regional sports packages in HD. My receivers are H20 and HR21, both with the B Band...

    Can I "move" with DirecTV?

    Locals are all spot beam, however the HD broadcasts of the 4 networks are still MPEG2 Conus for those with DNS waivers. Not sure how long that will last.

    Peaking signal on 5 LNB Dish??

    I made the fine tuning adjustments and now 14 of the transponders are between the 80s and 90s and my lowest ones are transponders 9 & 13, with readings of 73 and 74, respectively. And all it took was slight fine tuning of the azimuth and elevation.
