    hr34 dvr

    I have the old Choice Extra + Hd DVR package, so $7 DVR fee is included. I have 2 HR 20's. Am a customer since 2007. If I replace one with the HR 34, then do I need the 2nd HR 20 or can I get by with a H20 receiver only? How will it affect the DVR fee ($7) and the Leased Receiver fee...

    Was about to leave DISH for Direct. I'm not sure after doing more research.

    Ozma, Can you add comparison of External HD's to the list of differences you posted? Also, what about PQ of HD? Also, I just had/am having a super bad experience with Direct TV Visa Rewards (see another posting on this forum) and so that levels the playing field--DISH has no such...

    DIRECT TV Rewards Visa Defaulting on Rewards Redemption

    I have had a problem all of a sudden, since Aug 1, when I redeemed 5000 points for $50 credit towards programming, after 8 weeks, they have not credited to my DTV bill. Their terms and conditions say 4-6 weeks to redeem points. Over the past 2 years, I have redeemed points which posted in...

    Also have a grandfathered package, but it works for me to ADD it online--I remove it first via phone, using automatic menus.

    New HD channels coming!

    I am also fed up with new HD only going to Premiums or PPV, which, in this economy of $4 going on $5 gas prices, a lot of us baby-boomers retiring on fixed incomes CANNOT AFFORD! Let's all boycott Premiums and PPV until they start adding regular national HD! Why should we have to pay for...

    Wil DTV ever get LMN HD Epic 1, 2, Retro or IndiePlex?

    So, is Epix not a movie channel--it says Epix 1 and Epix 2--what is the content? On DTV's site, if you compare the different packages you should see a side by side comparison list that you can scroll down and see which HD which package has. They do NOT have the ID in HD. I don't watch the...

    Wil DTV ever get LMN HD Epic 1, 2, Retro or IndiePlex?

    Agree to do away with the Extra pkg--almost $1 a channel -- and It is NOT included in the Free HD for Life promo! DISH is even worse -- they charge $10 extra but have 3x as many channels including Epic 1 n 2 and the Plex series as well as Centric and MAVTV

    Wil DTV ever get LMN HD Epic 1, 2, Retro or IndiePlex?

    I keep seeing Dish have more of the HD channels I like to watch such as BBC America HD, Lifetime Movie Channel HD, TCM HD and the above -- will DTV ever carry any of these or are some exclusive to Dish ?

    Try asking if your zip code qualifies for the Special Locals 72 Upgrade which gets you a new dish AND HD DVR--I just used this to get free 2nd HR20-100.

    Two HR20-100's--one runs hotter - why?

    Just upgraded from R15 to HR20-100. Also have another HR20-100 installed Nov 2007. This first one runs 95-97. Second one just installed last week (72 local swap free upgrade with new LNB) runs 100-102. Why? Same location and ventilation environment. Should I be concerned about early...

    D* Offer to swap my R 15 for HR2X

    THANKS for idea on usung old VCR--we do have! We live in 2-dish locals area. so--will there be another or higher monthly fee for this HD DVR (HR-2X) replacement of my R15? I already have one HR 20 for the HD tv we have in the family room. The R 15 feeds other SD tv's throughout the house.

    D* Offer to swap my R 15 for HR2X

    D* CSR offered to upgrade my R15 to an HR-2X. Free. But then I lose the coax output I was using to distribute signal to other SD tv's in the house. So that forces me to upgrade all other tv's to HD and even then how could I run HDMI or component cables all over the house? Why aren't they...

    Sioux Falls Locals--NO FOX HD?????

    We just got a yaggi antenna -- it does pick up KTTW's signal. Their SD is pretty poor, but still better than D* SD signal. HD was ok on the 24 Redemption special. So we totally unsub'd from locals (saving $3 a month). Glad the D* guide shows OTA program guide even tho they are not through D* &...

    Sioux Falls Locals--NO FOX HD?????

    Called the Local Fox Affiliate in Sioux Falls and got an interesting answer. His version is that D* did not want to use the location available from the Fox affiliate for uplinking the HD singnal--that was BEFORE the Fox affiliate put up a new VHF tower near where the other networks broadcast...

    Sioux Falls Locals--NO FOX HD?????

    So it's possible that DISH may have worked out a deal to carry FOX HD in their Locals, but not Direct? My only other option then is to move service or defect to DISH? This is really a bad move for both D* and KTTW. Sioux Falls is a very fast-growing city and economy. My son lives right IN...

    Updated DirecTV HD Locals Launch Schedule: November->March (And PBS Launches)

    Sioux Falls LOCALS THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS--NO FOX???????????? What's the point? FOX broadcasts HD to the local Sioux Falls area--not beyond about 20 miles, though, so, we, 50 miles away cannot get FOX HD anyway anywhere? We can't even get an SD signal. Why can't we get a waiver so we can get FOX...

    Liberty Media Rethinks Spinoff Plans

    :eek:I will go one step further to predict definitely no big HD rollout (like there was last year) until AFTER tne election on Tuesday. Depending on who wins, many major financial deals that were a "given" may be indefinitely postponed or even cancelled. Whether this affects negotiations with...
