More than likely, that is what I'm going to do. I just don't want to have to eat the cost of the receivers and the early termination. I do have one final question. My dish, because of the location, points at the satellites through power lines that run down the street behind me. I didn't...

I sit 14 feet away from a 70" TV, 12 feet from a 65" and 11 feet from a 50". I don't want to drop DirecTV. I love MRV, online scheduling and having more channels than cable, but I also can't stand looking at people who look like wax figures or backgrounds which flicker and buzz with...

Sharpness is a no go.

Already checked that setting and only 1080i is selected. Also on the front of the DVR it reades 1080. I don't know what to do as my signals are all good. I hate to lose the money, but every time I turn on the TV now, I get pissed. I can't believe that DirecTV locks you into a contract for...

I've been in the service menus before, but I don't want to make too many adjustments there. I really don't believe it's my displays. I'm at a loss.

2006 Sony SXRD XBR2 - with new optical block. 2009 Mitsubishi DLP 737 series. 2008 Pioneer Kuro.

Soft is definately a word I would use. I honestly thought it was my eyes until I hooked up the cable DVR again. I was seriously thinking I needed glasses. I have been tweeking my master bedroom TV, but no amount of settings seems to dial it in. I notice the skin tones are off and everything...

Yep. All HR24s.

I realize that the ISF calibration is done on each input for each source, but my point is that this big a difference shouldn't be seen. At the same time, my TV upstairs has not been ISF calibrated and I see the same difference in picture. What really stands out for me is the pulsating noise in...

So I got DirecTV hooked up last Friday, but I am disappointed in the picture quality. I have mid to upper 90s signal strength, the DVRs are set to 1080i output and I am hooked up with HDMI. The problem is that on premium HD channels I'm seeing a lot of compression artifacts and on all HD...

So there's no way to combine Bing and AAA with DirecTV?

Yeah, I knew they had a special phone number, I was just hoping that we could sign up online and the call. I can also get Bing cash back signing up online, so I was hoping to go that route, then my wife can call later and say that we forgot about the AAA discount and have it applied, prior to...

So if my wife signs up for DirecTV over the internet, can she the call prior to install and add the AAA discount or can you only get the AAA discount at the time of ordering? I'd prefer to order online so I can add notes for the installer and I'd like to be able to print screens so there is no...

Can I have two HD DVRs and one HD Receiver and use MRV from every box? What I mean is can I view recordings from one DVR to the other DVR or only from an HD Receiver? Can I view recordings from both DVRs on the HD Receiver?

If that's the case, then I certainly apologize to boba for my comments. However, if it was directed towards me, then my comments stand. Going back and re-reading the comment, I can see your point, but sometimes it's hard to read sarcasm. Being new here, it's hard to tell sometimes because...
