    Cost to switch SD box for HD Box, House has one HD-DVR

    I doubt my in-laws have a clue as to what they ordered, especially now. They tend to jump into things first and ask questions later. This may teach them a lesson.

    Cost to switch SD box for HD Box, House has one HD-DVR

    Just curious, but is this the way DirecTV normally works with a new customer? As in supplying SD receivers for HD TV's after doing an HD install and setting up one HD-DVR?

    Cost to switch SD box for HD Box, House has one HD-DVR

    I am trying to help my in-laws who signed up for DirecTV through AT&T last fall. They wanted Uverse but it was not available so AT&T set them up with DirecTV. They have 1 HD-DVR and 4 SD receivers. This did not make sense to me since 2 of the 4 boxes are hooked to HD tv's. After they were on...

    RV Install of Winguard single lnb dish, no signal?

    Did it ever work perfect? Are you sure you are turnning the antenna amp for the Batwing off while trying to use this setup. In several I have worked on the owner fails to cut off the amp and it drastically reduces the signal.

    Anyone know what the new DTV promotion will be in March?

    Just curious as to what the new customer promotions will be when the current one expires March 3, should anyone know. I know that i can call today and they will hold up on the install for 30 days but I will not be ready for an install until about 3/15. I have to run about 300' of RG-6 down...

    Current DirectTV Promotions

    Correct, it is. I was just curious as to what list on the DTV site is the most current. I believe the PDF file is dated 12/08 and it is definitely more comprehensive than the other lists on the DTV site. Thanks

    Current DirectTV Promotions

    Channel Lineup That was one of three lists I found on the DTV site. Hemi 6.1 Do you think this is the most current listing? I ask this because when I went to the HD lineup for the Plus HD DVR Package, https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/wizard/buildYourSystem1.jsp?footernavtype=-1 FX HD was not...

    I know these will go up $23 a month after 12 months. Is there anyway to get FX and CBS College Sports without going all the way to the Preimer Package? One list, D*'s web site, shows FX HD in several packages and another shows it only in the Preimer. Same with CBS-CS. One lists shows it as...

    It took me 15 minutes with a sales rep that was in the USA. She kept wanting to add $9.95 to the ($49.95 Plus HD DVR package.) She kept trying to tell me that "HD channels included" was not the same as the "HD Access Fee, $9.95.". I kept asking her if that was true, why would I not just get the...

    I have two flyers from D*. One came today and one came 6 or 7 weeks ago. They both are "Lock in your price until 2010" promotions. The "Plus HD DVR Package" is $49.95 per month for the first 12 months. I find one difference between the 2 flyers. The older one states "Free HD Channels for 3...

    DTV installer will not use existing RG59 runs

    I am fixing to switch from Dish to Direct. I have Belden RG-59 runs from 1997 to 4 locations, thru attic, down walls, with a double run to the area that will be HD. A DTV installer, an employee, not an independent, was running a 2nd HD run next door so I asked him about switching me over. He...

    Since he only had service for a month, he may not have a statement to show the autopay info.

    Can OTA antenna share sat cable into house?

    rj; Normally you can mix and remove OTA from the coax to the LNB on the dish. BUT, the sat box sends voltage to the LNB. That is why you have a problem if you wish an amplified OTA. You have to send voltage up to it also. Best way is to just run another coax down from the OTA while...

    D* No longer home + RV for one fee??

    Thanks This is what I thought but I didn't want to switch to D* and get screwed up when on the road. I need D* to get networks in HD. They will let me have all but ABC, which I can live without. Funny thing is that I just moved about 2 miles, same city, same lake and the old house qualified...

    D* No longer home + RV for one fee??

    Jimbo: I do that with E*, but their last upgrade added a "box" between each new Dish500Pro LNB and each Receiver. No problem for the moment when I go mobile but on return it takes a setup through the "check switch" and with luck it's back on in 30 min. Any chance that with all these upgrades...

    D* No longer home + RV for one fee??

    I am ready to switch from E* to D* but I stumbled across something new on their web site that states you can no longer have 1 box to take in your RV unless you pay the full package fee, not just the $4.99 per month for the box. E* has no problem with this. Last year they even offered to ship me...

    HD HDVR Supply problem??

    Got a friend who wanted me to post this. He has been waiting over a month to upgrade his DTV to HD using the HD HDVR. He has been dealing direct with DTV. They keep telling him the units are back ordered and they have a waiting list. Anyone got a clue about this? Thanks
