After having Uverse for a full month, I am extremely pleased with it. (Bloomfield Hills, MI) The install went well. My house is a sprawling ranch w/ no crawlspace or basement, so there was a lot of outdoor work for the installer (on a side note, he looked just like Bubbles from Trailer Park...

My DirecTV contract runs out 10/1. I am officially going to be out of contract for at least one aspect of my life. Uverse reps have been calling me non stop to sign up. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO tempted, but the one DVR thing kills it for me right now. The funny thing is that all of the...

I have been toying with the idea of going to U-Verse from D* for th elast month or so. I have been having way too many billing/service issues lately w/ DirecTV and paying them $200 to lease an HD-DVR seems a bit ludicrous at this point. But I am getting off topic. I was an inch away from...

I just lost one of my R15's after the latest update as well. I love my DirecTV and I LOVE Sunday Ticket, but with some of the CSR debacles I have had in the last year (equating to literally $200 plus in accidental overcharges), I am not all that anxious to pony up $199 (the discount I was...

I recently consolidated tv's and found myself with an extra HDVR2 box (standard def, not HD). It is a Hughes Tivo box for DirecTV. Selling it w/ remote for $45 plus shipping if anyone is interested. I have heard of this being upgrade-able, but that is not my bag. PM me or reply if...

I rec'd a few of these calls. They leave a number to call back, and that number put me on hold for 60+ minutes all three times (I just left it on speaker while I worked). After the third time, I called Directech's (the contractor for my area) corporate office and let them know they were...

Never had any compelling reason to flip to this channel...

I don't mind paying, but as an "A List" customer, I certainly want to be treated as such. $199 seems like a fair price for this. I just did the bitch and moan thing when D* "accidentally" shut off all of my services (something about a bounced signal) and couldn't figure out how to get my...

I am about to cancel out one of my boxes (an old Hughes Tivo)due to NEVER using it. In the process, I am contemplating upgrading my current h20 to an HD-DVR. I wanted some input though... 1) If you have one of these, are you happy with it? 2) What is my best course of action for the...

I was just on the phoen with a D* rep tryign to find out why this channel didn't work for me in MI. she had no clue. I should have come here first. I just wanted to watch Cleveland all Pro Wrestling!

How on earth did I miss this??!?!?!?!?! Any word on when this becomes an actual channel?

How does one go about putting in a formal channel request to D*?? Canadian cable subscribers have been enjoying The Fight Network for a year now. I'd like to get in on this!

After two days use, the new 100 box seems to be ok. There were some audio issues on the CBS HD football feed, but I think that was a CBS thing.

Thanks guys. I have the "new" 100 installed and it seems to be working ok. The menus don't appear to be as smooth (sort of lower res), but that's not an issue. OTA reception seems to be just about the same. It just rec'd a software update. I am about to test it to see if there are any...

Well, I just opened up the new H20 D* sent out to me, and it is an H20-100. My old one was an h20-600. Any major difference. Which should I keep? p.s. HDMI IS working for video out.
