    Having a hard time still with 119.

    I had the SAME exact problem...I had directv come out and take a look,...and they couldn't figure it out... I also wondered if it was some branches that looked to maybe partially obstruct my dish, but it didn't explain why on a perfectly still day, my signal on 119 would go anywhere from 0 -...

    Garbled/Pixelization Issues on D* DVRs - Need Some Advice

    Hello, I owned the D* HR10-250 for about a year,...and then got the 6.3a upgrade. Around that time, ALL my HD channels started having image issues. It showed up more frequently on some channels compared to others, but it was always during HD programming. I would describe the image issues...

    Information everyone must know about the Lease Program:

    got it...thanks for the replies.... so if/when they move to an mpeg4 hd-dvr,...if they offer to switch out my existing one,....its probably safe to assume there will be strings attached I'm guessing...

    Information everyone must know about the Lease Program:

    Just read the entire thread, but wanted to get a few things straight: 1. I currently own a HDTivo and a normal Directv SD Tivo. They are activated as of sep '05, and currently under a 2 year plan. Do I have to do anything to keep these from being converted to a lease? Or is that only for...

    How Best to Sell my Directv DVR? Ebay?

    So I just signed up with Directv and got 2 DVRs when I signed up, $99 each. After signing up, I switched to the HD DVR, and no longer needed one of my Tivos. I was going to use all 3 DVRs, but was told by the Installer that I would need to do some special stuff to get it all to work, and it...

    No Phone Jack near Directv receiver, what can I do?

    install took 5 1/2 hours!!! so I was worried, and now a bit annoyed...but oh well, the installer seemed new,...when I had dish network at one point, they did a FULL install including all the wiring in under 2 hours...this guy today was able to use alot of the existing wiring dish network had...

    No Phone Jack near Directv receiver, what can I do?

    that's great to hear...my directv installer didn't even know of anything...you'd think they'd be more aware....he's still here, I'll let him know...thanks!

    How will the Directv Installer run my cables to my box?

    it seems that directv has the larger volume of users, and probably a larger volume of dvr users who utilize the dual tuner capability...and that all these people wouldn't want 2 cables running to every single DVR they own...i suppose not everyone owns more than one, but its becoming more common...

    How will the Directv Installer run my cables to my box?

    so why is it dish network can do this for much cheaper?

    How will the Directv Installer run my cables to my box?

    Aghhh! That's not what I want to hear! Nothing against dish network, I really liked them when I had them, but they seem to be lagging in the High Definition department...and it looks like Directv will have the HD lead for a while...which is very important to me... so that kind of bums me...

    How will the Directv Installer run my cables to my box?

    Ok, I haven't been with Satellite for a while, and previously, I had dish network. I plan on having a 3 room install,...a dual dvr in each room. Room1: dual tuner HD TIVO Rooms 2&3: dual tuner standard TIVOS as far as I understood the technology a few years ago,...you no longer needed...

    I just setup an installation for next week yesterday through Verizon....after several attempts at trying to get the "deal" through normal CSR's, I finally decided to roll the dice and try to just get it through Customer Retention after signing up, but before installation...I just made my first...

    Want to join Directv, Need Help w/ best way to start service

    I did some searching, but didn't find anything terribly close to what I'm looking for, and didn't have time to search for hours, so sorry if this has been repeated elsewhere. I'm a current cable subscriber, and am looking to switch to Directv. I will need essentially 3 receivers. 1 HDTV...
