    TV1 TV2 Issue

    My friend has a 722. It is hooked up to two tvs. However tv2 has a rf remote which you know. The problem is when tv2 remote is used it also works tv1. We changed the address on both remotes and it did not fix the problem. We also changed the address on tv 2 several times. The receiver is...

    Blank screen

    I just reread my post and realized I did not make myself clear. The blank screen is like you loose the signal. Like turning the receiver on and the tv is also on. It goes black and the info 1920 x 1080 shows up in the upper right corner. Hope it isn't my receiver.

    Blank screen

    Two days ago I have been experiencing a blank screen for a few seconds. Will be watching live tv or a recorded program and the screen goes blank. Do not know why and hope the station or direct is doing it and not my equipment. Is anyone out there having the same problem? If not does anyone...

    How to and anything new with caller Id?

    Just got caller Id and looking through other posts I know there is a problem with Directv's caller id. I was wondering if there is anything new on a fix for this. Yes, a receiver reset will fix it for a few days or less but I still hope they care enough to fix their problem. Though I doubt...

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    I feel your pain. Though I do not watch any Viacom programming, I have a habit every fall and mid season to really like programs that no one else does. So twice a year, with tears in my eyes I have to say goodbye to what I think are some really good shows. Knowing I will never again see a new...

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    I too have two HD DVRs and whole home. Paid the 99 dollars when I signed up a year an a half ago. Have not regretted it for a minute. I try not to watch anything live and had so many conflicts with recording shows that were on at the same time. Now I do not have that issue. Both receivers...

    HD Guide Top and Bottem Banners

    Sorry to bring this up, for this is a almost a dead horse, but I was next to last DMA to get the guide and I did not force it. Read somewhere that there is a complaint about the top and bottom banners taking up to much screen. I totally agree. FF and rewind hides a lot of picture and it is a...

    Internet connection and Hd guide

    I know to use some features of the hr 24 you need an internet connection. If you do not have an internet connection will the new HD guide still work with standard features? Watched their promo and it shows a hook up with internet. So that is why I asked if needed to use or just something you...

    VOD QUESTION

    I guess I am not the sharpest tack in the box. I have never ordered any movies or programs. I do not know anything about them. Wondering if you always need an internet connection to get vod. I can only get Hughes for my high speed connection. Because of all their limitations it is a useless...

    Directv deals for existing customer?

    If you are married cancel the account in your name and put it in hers. She will be a new customer and get all the promo's for the first year. I have done this with dish before I came to direct. You will need different credit card or something different way of paying that your are using now.

    Downgrading package and Free HD for Life?

    This is my experience with your same situation. When I signed up I was told in order to have HD for life I needed to keep the Ultimate package. Two months went down the road and I wanted to add starz to my package. Looked on line and saw that they were offering the HD for life also on the...

    Downgrading package and Free HD for Life?

    You are right about that Stonecold. That is what happened to me. I signed up under the choice ultimate promotions. They say I am stuck for life if I want HD free with that package. My only choice is after a year if I want to drop the ultimate package is to cancel and put the account in my...

    Downgrading package and Free HD for Life?

    I can tell you I was told by Direct that I could downgrade package and keep hd for life. A month went by and my next bill they charged me hd. It took alot of fighting and I got back my hd for life but I had to go to the package I signed up for. At this time in life it seems to get hd free you...

    Screwed By Direct.

    I emailed the customer Advocate and explained my problem. Around 5 pm eastern time I got a phone call from them. Since it was noted on my account that the change was ok, they put me back in the choice Ultimate package and gave back the hd for life, credit my account for the $10 for next...

    I switched a month ago and I have to totally agree with you. Wished I did it years ago. Just posted a situation with D and how they found a way to make me happy.

    The difference between NO From Dish and Direct.

    I sign up for D in Sept and a month later they change the incentives for new people. Two things changed. They added Hd for life on their Choice Extra Package and also added Starz and Showtime free for 3 months. I have the Choice Ultimate Package but was interested in Starz and I only want it...

    Totally off Topics

    Tell me if I am wrong. This fall TV season seems to have more commercials than last. I am from dish and I have the 24 from direct. I dvr everything first from dish then direct and it seems like it takes forever to get through the commercials. Are there more commercials or am I not used to...
