I called in just now and went directly to cancellations. It took me all of 5 minutes to speak with a retention representative that was the most helpful anyone at DTV has been. I told him that all I want is working equipment, but he decided that a technician visit at my house was the best way...

Yeah, I have called in, so I guess tech isn't the appropriate name, but a technical support representative/agent. They believe it needs to be replaced, but that 20 clams ($19.95) charge really pisses me off. I had two DVRs with DISH die in my time (both were over 3 years in my house before...

Sorry for not replying to this thread, but it has been one headache after another with DTV. At this point, I completely regret my switch, because this has been a nightmare. I had friends warn me about this very problem with them, but I saw a much reduced price and we decided to make the leap...

The test fails and it looks like I'm going to need a service call. Since they cost an arm and a leg, I'm thinking about just living with the issue

It was a first line guy, he was super nice and was a bit puzzled by my problem, but tried a few things, and thought that it would do the trick. We reset it back to factory defaults and did a forced restart. I wasn't able to get the 02468 thing to do anything noticeable at the hello screen. I...

I called them last night and it was an issue they had never heard of. Of course, they didn't know about the History telling me about the 100 or so attempts to download the update that haven't worked. May not have got myself a super experienced tech last night. I'm waiting for my wife to...

Thanks for your help. May have a bit more info here. My wife is the primary user of this receiver, so I wasn't aware of this as much as she was. I have had today to see this piece of crap first hand and it has asked me to download the update at least 5 times. I was looking around and in the...

Maybe I misspoke, I apologize. My wife has a habit of turning it off when she turns the TV off, and when we turn it back on, instead of picking up where we left off, it picks up on TLC. The download manager has been showing up every few hours though and telling us it needs to download an...

I have an HR-24 and an HR-21 on my Whole Home Setup, hoping that clarifies. I'm looking for a tip or someone to maybe chime in here. The HR-21 keeps resetting itself every few hours, and when it resets, it always ends up back on TLC. I could have been watching ESPN, or a movie or Nick Jr and...

Boy do I feel silly. I kind of knew I would, but I swear I had been in that menu previously and didn't see it. Well one less problem solved with this D* deal.

I have read this forum off and on for a few years, and I have got helped in the past a lot when needed. Been with E* for 9 years until this last week, wife and I are on a tight budget to save up for a new car (novel idea I'm told) and so we cut our bills down by getting the promo from D* and by...

Turns out after I talked to a few representatives, there was something set up wrong in their system, and they did get 444 to work for me. Man it was quite frustrating for me to keep telling them that, while you say go to this channel, there is nothing showing up. Seems a bit strange for me...

I tried that channel, and it blacked out for some reason. I contacted a DISH-tard representative and they can't figure it out.

I was pretty upset that they didn't carry any of the PPV football games this weekend in HD, but than I turn to FSN HD to watch Illinois/Missouri and it looks like complete crap because it isn't in HD. I can't believe this garbage, I think it is the last straw for me. Wife has been upset with...

Hello fellas I am a long time lurker more than I ever post. I enjoy reading the great information on here, and I have looked around but I am unclear about the answer here. My wife and I just signed the purchase agreement on our first home yesterday, and we will be closing July 7th. We are...
