    Switching from DirecTV to Cablevision...?

    Switching from DirecTV to Cablevision...?

    I started to switch from Dtv to CV. The cost of the triple play was a big savings that I was going to get. I called D to cancel they gave me an offer that I decided to return the cable boxes and I am carrying 1 HD CV box and the standard triple play which originally covered by internet and...

    Signal Strength Question

    Once you exhausted all the suggestions that are laid out here such as swapping cables on the back of the receiver as well as the BBC's and finaly the switch. I would get in touch with D Customer service as this may be outside of your realm. It is more than likely a bad connector that needs ot be...

    Have to Give up D* Service

    I would see if there was a way to do an MDU dishmount that management would approve and possibly pay the upfront charges for and then access a fair fee for use. I know that the HD may not be availablel but it might be a start. Good Luck

    Installation Question

    he installer should run the lines from the dish to each receiver. The DRV 's require 2 lines and he is required to install those lines. The installer may or may not require a WB68 Zinwell switch. If you only have 4 lines most likely he will only run the 2 additonal lines. Wall fishing is not...

    No Charge for the Protection Plan

    Ok I was just on another Forum - DBSTalk - and read a thread about adding the protection plan. I went to the online section of Directv signed in to my account and added the protection plan at no cost for 12 months for new protection plan subscribers. I would assume that the plan makes you...

    Newbie Requesting Advice/Opinions

    I would clearly state on your order that the installer needs to run new lines. If you order an HDDVR and request the installation by Directv you are entitled to 2 lines run at a lenght of 125 feet each. The install also provides for the cable to be feed through 1 outside wall and that wall...

    H20 questions

    The difference between the H20-100 and the H20-600 is the company that makes them for Directv. One other difference is the H20-100 runs considerably warmer than the H20-600. As far as the HR20 receivers the original software problems and hardware failures have significantly improved.

    service plan

    The plan if you sign up with the original order will cover you immediately. If you add it later you will need to wait 30 days to be covered. Although I have read that many users are able to get services at a lower rate prior to the 30 days.

    What we are hearing...

    On the HR20-700 I get the "Congratulations!" screen that my HD Setup is correct. Now I have to wait to see if the low signals I get are a result of the original alignment. Sometimes they are high and the next morning they are half of what they were the night before. I still think that the...

    hdmi

    As you may or may not know the HDMI is a standard that is not finalized. If your H20-600 doesn't drive your tv's HDMI you need to make note of that in the CE Forum listing the make model of your tv as well as the DTV unit. Does your component cable input work? I would also try to restart the...
