    Any discounts available for EXISTING customers?

    I did my own install. I have been a customer for 20 months and have paid them over $2,000 in sub fees. Is your math that bad or do you really think the $300 I paid for each receiver was discounted that heavily? Or are you just trolling? Why do I deserve a discount? Because I'm in the A class of...

    Any discounts available for EXISTING customers?

    Hi, I see a new post here almost every week about how to save by becoming a new DTV customer. I have been with DTV for about 1.5 years now and all of my initial incentives have dried up. I currently pay about $140 a month for the premier package, 4 receivers, and HD and HD+. My question is...

    DirecTV HD Inside Apartment?

    Yeah, he could sign up for a Canadian service and get wayyyy less HD programming, wayyy less SD programming, and pay more for, say an HD PVR if he so desired. He could also move to Burma and let the government shut of his internet and tell him what to read and say too. Montreal: go ahead and...

    did this happen to anyone else?

    Something weird happened and both of my HR20s had to be hard reset. They both locked up within hours of each other. After the reboot, they were fine. -Rob

    2200 viewing!!!

    Wow, I have never seen so many people viewing the Directv forum! Is this some kind of record? Are stats like these kept? So many eager beavers are just itching to sitdown on the couch and stare at an inanimate object! An interesting exercise: turn you tv off, sit and stare at the turned-off...

    3 tvs on 3 floors, 2 receivers??? Elegant solution?

    Hi, I DON'T want to get any more receivers. I have a tv upstairs, on the main floor, and one in basement. I have a HDPVR upstairs and on the main floor. I would like them both to output to the room they are in AND the basement TV. What is the best way to do this? I have attached my...

    What is the effective range on an RF remote (HR20)?

    I have 3 tvs (one on each floor, upstairs, main and basement), but I only have 2 receivers. Receivers are hooked to tvs via HDMI on upstairs and main floor. I was going to run component cables out from each of the upstairs and main pvrs to the basement tv component 1&2 ins. My question is, if I...

    PBS in NY, NY? Spot Beam??

    Hi, I 'live' in NY, NY and I get all the national feed locals except PBS? Is PBS on a spot beam? Is it on another channel? FYI, for 'some reason' I don't get the spot beam channels. So, how do I see PBS if I want to??? Thanks, Rob

    HR20 Audio Drops Out and Image Pixelization on HD channels

    Ok, I've researched a number of threads on the subject and I have enough information to definitely call this a problem. It is clear to me that either some people are not affected or haven't noticed. This does not mean it isn't a problem. It is DEFINITELY occurring. I am using an HR20-700...
