Yeah. Feed comes in the house to a splitter thing. I dunno. I switched them (receiver 1 and 2) and now, after that weird attempt with the crazy numbers, its 90% complete on 0575

Ok, switched the lines on the splitter between the two boxes... Its "searching for new software" (04D1) downloading software... please wait. but nothing is happening. Some numbers in the upper left hand corner are going up... 2/4/110/30 then 2/4/115/31... etc. its at 0%. I think its broken.

Well, I just let it restart completely and did a menu reset. Nothing. It just says a few more seconds.... then it does a self check. This is infuriating. I have done this loads of times with NO problems, and on this one.... its just not seeing it or something. I even changed the batteries in the...

Yeah, I have tried super fast. Super slow. The normal 0-one thousand 2-one thousand way... nothing. It just says "a few more seconds", running self check, then it goes to step one of two. I don't think its the way Im pressing the buttons. It worked upstairs just fine. First try. This one down...

Hey guys, I don't post on here much anymore, but I am having trouble getting the downstairs receiver to accept the 0 2 4 6 8 code to initiate the CE download. the one upstairs worked perfectly, but I have been trying for about 25 min. to get this one going down here.... I must have reset the...

HR23-700 Things are working great. Only have the one box, so MRV useless for me. Remote responsiveness is DRAMATICALLY improved. Huge increase in speed! My wife even commented on this, and she doesn't know anything about the CE... Some weird audio clips when I first start watching after...

If you will notice in the screen shot, there is a 200 dollar credit, then the charge for CI, then the credit for CI. Not sure why you cannot believe this, I have provided ample proof, including a screen shot taken directly from the account "recent activity" box... My balance was zero, as...

Feel free to look at the screen shot of my DirecTv online "recent activity" I took. (second page.) She said she has been giving that same offer out all week. Don't know what to tell ya. Im just letting you know what happened for me when I called in about VS.

I made the move for customer service reasons and couldn't be happier in that regard. Now some people on D*, from what I can tell, really seem to like the equipment, but I liked Dish's better. The 722 that I had was great. I loved the MENU-All channels, MENU-All sub, MENU- All HD thing. It...

Dish- Not a chance in hell. I was with them for two long, drawn out, painful years. Their customer service is a JOKE. farmed out to god knows where, and the only way to get something done is threaten to cancel, and actually start the process, because they wont transfer you to the retention...

Sorry you don't believe me, but it is true. Talked to the nicest customer retention rep ever... She gave me that and told me that it was the new policy to give that out for free to people mad about VS. I told her my team would still be blacked out, so she gave me a 200 credit to get VS on...

If you call and tell them you are angry with VS being pulled, you get NHL CI for free.

Well I sent the 722 back already. They weren't willing to work anything out with me. (Had no contract with them, that may be why. I wanted a 722k and HD turbo gold with locals for 40/month. the same thing I was paying before they screwed my programing up and put me in AT250 with NO authorization...

Will the installer hook it up if you have it or is this a DIY project. I dont even understand what a SWM or power inserter is, so I'm not sure how competent I could be in attempting to install it myself.

Well I noted in the remarks area of the install calendar that it needs to be an SWM install due to wiring issues and the basement location. I called D* and she said that she sees the note and that she would add to it, but couldn't guarantee anything. Im hoping this is going to work out...

Haha, Ok? Any other thoughts or ways to get around this?

I have another question too. It seems as though there are several different ways my equipment can be installed... I just ordered D* and am getting choice xtra with HD-DVR. Thats the only receiver that I need for now. I have a Dish network dish on my roof in the same spot a D* dish will...

It seems as if the change of service fee for D* is 10.00. Is this correct? If I have a package and I drop down one level in service, they charge you a one time 10.00 fee correct? Not 10.00 every month right? Does this extend your contract, or only when you receive new equipment does this...

There shouldn't be any upfront costs. Well according to their system builder on the DirecTv website. It appears there are several types of receivers. HR20's, HR21's 22's etc... Is there an advantage to one over the other? What are some of the differences? I cant find anything on them on the...

Ok, so after some more in-depth reading I have a few more questions. 1. It looks like the receiver can record two programs at once. Great. It has an OTA tuner too. Is this HD? Can I record HD from the OTA? 2. Contracts. BLAH. I never had a contract with Dish. I see that the price I was so...

Hi, Thinking of switching my self, and was wondering if they can use the same poles for the dishes... Example: Our Dish network dish is on a pole on a part of our roof that only one mounting plate with pole and dish could occupy. Can they just take the dish off that pole and put the direct tv...

I guess the DVR receivers do not count... They want 99 for those. The regular one is "free" but you pay 5 a month for it. Anything else I should know about DirecTv before jumping the Dish ship?

Ok, so the 69 bucks they want to charge for the second standard receiver is like a lease equipment fee, just all up front in one lump. Thanks for the replies everyone. Next question: Has anyone had both Dish and Direct? Which one did you like better. I liked Dishes programing packages (HD...

Hi. After hating dish for the last year or so, its time to move to DirecTv. I am a little confused about how they operate vs dish. 1. Im not paying for the equipment. It would be a free HD DVR thing. This is a concern because they want you to add on that protection plan thing, but if its...
