    How to align DirectV HD Dish?

    Just a thought..... How is the wiring from the dish to your Sat box? I had trouble with some of my HiDef channels on one of my H20's. It kept pixelating and breaking up mostly on HDNet Movies, but I had no problems on my other H20. I rewired the RG6 cable (make sure you use RG6) from my...

    Ways DirecTV screws you

    You can call whoever you want at DirecTV and you will probably get the same run-around. I had a problem once with DirecWay. I participated in their beta test and was supposed to get free service for 6 months. DirecWay decided to bill me out of the blue for the whole 6 months! I called everybody...

    Rupert Murdoch looking to sell DirecTV?

    Problem is that Murdoch is the "Turd Bird" here. He became too focused on following the Dish model instead of leading the pack as DirecTV has in the past. I have been with DirecTV for 6 years, but for the past year I have been getting this sinking feeling... I didn't mind paying for my...

    Will D let you reactivate owned receivers

    I have activated used receivers in the past. I recently activated a used Tivo unit I got from a friend, but it took me three calls. The first rep said I needed a new card and would not budge. I told her that I had done this in the past and that it could be done. She was very adamant that I...

    MPEG4 H20 Owners - Some Questions

    I called DirecTV today to order the MPEG4 upgrade. The deal they offered me was $99 + $14.95 s/h + 2 year commit. They are replacing my two current HD receivers (Hughes E86 & Samsung TS160) and getting the AT9 Dish installed. I have some questions for those of you who have the new DirecTV...

    Directv Going To Lease Only On 3/1/06

    I have been a DirecTV subsciber for about 6 years now. I have two HD receivers and one SD receiver (that I purchased). The biggest problem I have always had with DirecTV is the $5 additional receiver charge they have always charged. The cable companies charge this kind of fee but it is a lease...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    Actually, thinking back on my conversation with the supervisor, she did mention that the $299 deal was a promotion offered for "special circumstances". I wonder if it was only offered to subscribers in Comcast territory, or perhaps just not offererd to those in one of the 12 regions that are...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    I just found out about this deal yesterday. I called Customer retention twice today and was denied both times. All they would offer me was $499 -$100 rebate and told me that the $299 - $100 rebate offer was over. I even spoke to a supervisor the second time and she would not budge. I have...

    Signal Strength in North-East?

    Hi Everyone, I setup my own Triple-LNB Oval HiDef Dish and I am getting the following Signal Strength readings (average): SAT-101 = 93 SAT-110 = 93 SAT-119 = 84 I was wondering if anyone else with this setup in the NorthEast US (I'm in NY) could tell me what their readings are. I couldn't...

    HD picture quality on Directv

    I have DirecTV HD and I think the HD pq on DirecTV is very good on my 65" TV. The stuff that is specifically shot in HD (like content on Discovery-HD & HDNet) is superb. The other content (like movies) has been transferred from film to HD. It's not as sharp as the stuff that is shot in HD but...
