    Video and sound drop

    I have my acct suspended for 6 months and am trying Directv Now. DTVNow still has room for improvement but so far it's been satisfactory for the 3 weeks I've being using it. None of the video/sound issues discussed in this thread. At the end of the suspension period we relocate back to our...

    It's called "plausible deniability" . Unfortunately it doesn't appear I can attach the link to the www.nextdoor.com site with the discussion on this subject without logging in. (over 40 responses) that represents what many were saying it was an issue: This response is representative of the...

    Video and sound drop

    I live east of Phoenix. There's been an ongoing discussion in the local neighborhood forum about this issue. Several have had equipment swapped and service calls with no improvement. The most recent discussion suggest DTV knows of the problem and is "working" on it. One poster said the DTV...

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    The link for RSN fee worked several days ago.My bill went up about $11, of which a little over $7 was for Fox Sports AZ. The only way to eliminate the RSN fee was to drop to the lowest package.... $53.99. Which I did. The link doesn't appear to be working now.

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    Don't know what happened but by the time I noticed the multiple posts it was beyond the window of time that I could delete. Forum moderator(s) feel free to delete redundant postings. No electrons will be harmed

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    When I had CentruyLInk for phone service had issues with caller id. For some reason they were interfacing with the DTV receiver. At that time my DTV bill was bundled with CenturyLink. A message would pop up saying if problems to call CL who knew nothing about their software issue. Finally...

    Alternating between basic and premium DIRECTV packages

    Didn't intend to stir up a hornet's nest. Just thought it might be an option for the original poster. As far as the tech didn't drive from the Phoenix area...... I had no reason to dispute him when he said he drove up to our area from Phoenix. Our ensuing conversation was about Phoenix. Not...

    Alternating between basic and premium DIRECTV packages

    I'm sure you are correct. I haven't read the fine details of the TOS but really don't feel I'm "cheating" since we only have a single receiver and can use it only at one place at a time. In fact a couple years ago our receiver stopped working while at the cabin and DTV actually sent a...

    Alternating between basic and premium DIRECTV packages

    Responding to the original question, if you are watching DTV only at one place at a time and have the same setup at both your homes, you might consider just disconnecting a receiver at one location and hand carry between the two homes. It's another story to watch simultaneously at both...

    DirecTV notices when you disconnect the internet!

    I get daily emails that I'm not connected. My 768 kbps DSL service is too slow to effectively be of benefit. The email had some verbiage that stated I was getting these messages because I had opted to receive this kind of notification. The delete button works fine.. I'm concerned if I were...

    Question about having DirecTV at multiple locations

    That's what I do. We have a cabin about 130 miles from our main home. I installed a duplicate dish setup at the cabin and hand carry the receiver with us when we go to the cabin. I only have one receiver so no question about account stacking. DTV has even sent a technician to the cabin when...

    Plugging phone line into receiver disables home phone system?

    I appreciate the various replies. The March 19th software update did cross my mind. However the unit has worked until yesterday when we returned from our cabin. The cabin phone doesn't have caller id so I don't plug in a phone line while there. I'm aware of the ease of accidentally plugging...

    Plugging phone line into receiver disables home phone system?

    As background my home phone is the cordless variety. I use the DTV receiver (HR22) to display caller ID. The receiver had been transported to our cabin and return. After the reboot from being unplugged I tried to make a phone call and noticed no dial tone on the cordless phone. After trying...

    My CenturyLink on DIRECTV

    Closing the loop on this issue As previously reported, the Idaho TS person wrote an order that I wanted this feature disabled. This was last Sunday. I got a call Thursday from CL asking if the MyCenturylink feature had been disabled. It has. The CL support person said they had to...

    Cutting the cord today.

    I don't know your circumstances but OTA antennas for the reception of local channels are protected from CC&R's. Here's one reference link: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/installing-consumer-owned-antennas-and-satellite-dishes Sounds like it's moot at this point since you've made the switch. I've...

    Lost phoenix locals

    She's well within the footprint of the Phoenix locals. Apache Junction is 30 +/- miles from central Phoenix. Edit: We read her question wrong.... she moved from Apache Junction where reception was not a problem to Why AZ where it was. I haven't checked but my guess is Why is within Phoenix's...

    My CenturyLink on DIRECTV

    Thanks for replies... I left the conversation yesterday to disable. We'll see! For now I've unplugged the Ethernet cable so it can't reload. However this also disables other features such as weather and sport scores that are updated thru the internet. I found one web reference that a call to...

    My CenturyLink on DIRECTV

    This thread is over a year old but it applies to a recent situation. I noticed caller id was no longer being displayed. It had worked for a couple years on the HR22 since I inserted the second DSL filter. Then I noticed a new option in the menu..... My Centurylink with a number to call if you...

    Lose Satellite signal when unplugging HDMI

    Interesting discussion. I've read/heard of hdmi handshaking issues but generally with certain brand/model TV's. Strange you've had the problem on 2 different, but newer models. Have you tried having the newer tv ON before plugging in the H21? and/or the opposite, e.i. having the H21 ON before...
