Charter is my local cable company and their boxes are $11.75 each, so I can't complain about $7 each for the Joeys. The $15 DVR fee with Dish seems high, but it's better than what I had with DTV paying a $10 DVR fee + $10 HD fee. The only way to avoid equipment fees is not having a...

I had been a DirecTV customer for almost 10 years up until last Friday when I switched to Dish. I got the Hopper 3 + 3 Joeys and absolutely love it. Much, much better than the Genie and their junk minis. Sunday Ticket was the main reason I always kept DTV, but my interest in the NFL has...

I have the C61 model. Both will have a video stutter in my master bedroom a few seconds every half hour or so. My H25 receiver performed flawlessly in this same room and my HR44 works fine as well.

I'll double check when I get home. Online it only says C61-100. What is the difference between the two? Does DTV know it's an issue, or is this just known within the online community?

Do any minis ever work consistently? I have 2 new 61s that both have video stutter issues. A "quality assurance" tech is coming tomorrow and might end up re-wiring my line from my bedroom to the outside box. This guy called me directly yesterday and is supposed to be higher up from the usual...

Some of my electronics do the same thing. Amazon has a 26 piece pack for $15.

They are sending a tech out Saturday. I'm not sure what is supposed to be accomplished. From my reading online, the consensus is the issue is software related which means it could be a long wait for a fix. Can I just call DTV and tell them to send me 2 regular HD boxes in exchange for these...

A tech installed 2 brand new wired minis last weekend. The one I am using in my bedroom will have the picture flicker for a couple of seconds once every 20-30 minutes. This doesn't occur on my HR44 in the living room and it never occurred when I was using a H25 in my bedroom. Is this a common...

I cancelled. I have a 300 mbps plan, but it's irrelevant if their servers can't handle the traffic. Paying $35 for 100 channels is great in theory, but only if the service works. So I decided just to stick with plan ol' reliable satellite. A tech installed 2 brand spankin new genie mini C61s...

Day 2 for me is worse than day 1. I'm staring at the blue rectangle with the "this video failed to load" message. Nowhere during signup did they have a disclaimer that said "you won't be able to use our product for the first 2 days." I pre-paid for the Apple TV deal. If these buffering...

If they couldn't handle the demand on day 1, will they be able to once millions more inevitably sign up? Apple TV gets error code 60 and Fire TV gets error code 40 is basically what I dealt with last night. I think between the 2 devices, I got to watch about 30 minutes of content. Not a good...

I get the error code 60 on the Apple TV, but no issues on the Fire TV 2.

This is happening to me, and many others from my reading online. One of many bugs we will no doubt encounter early on.

So do we use HBO Now or Go if we want on-demand stuff?

I get MASN (Orioles/Nationals) with my current DTV plan. It doesn't appear that's the case with DTV Now. Is it possible that MASN gets added later?
