Hi logixrat, Have you tried searching for the code? On that page you linked to above they have a link to the owners manual that describes how to search for a code. It's on page 9-10. Bottom right hand side of page 9. I remember having the same problem a few years back with a I believe a...

Looks like your concerns about D dropping (not dropping) the added promotional premium channels automatically are right. This is from their website: "**HBO, Starz Super Pack and SHOWTIME UNLIMITED services will continue at the regular payable charge ($74.99/mo. or above). " I'm expecting my...

lou_do, Thanks for the update. I'm curious to see whether it shows up as a lease, or mirroring fee when you do get your next bill. charper1, Appreciate the information. The general derth of information on receiver models out there is what finally brought me to this forum on a google search...

Hi jimbos, Yeah I'm a quick study when I'm interested in a topic. I've attained what I know in the past week or so, and it's by no means anywhere near complete. I was wondering where the initial accusation came from because the information I gave was fairly general, freely available, and I...

Hi logixrat, On your point 4. I had to laugh because I wouldn't trust that either, but it's easy enough to call in and cancel if I decide not keep the added service, once I sign on. On point 5. if you'r refering to my question, I was curious if it's a straight 150 discount of 10 dollars a...

It's a DRD440RE. The black unit looks garish in my high end system, and I'm not overly fond of the onscreen menu either, for that matter.

logixrat, That is a good deal. I'm really looking forward to what I'm offered. I've already got a stand alone replaytv that with a minor mod will work with the receiver I've order, so I won't need a dvr but free doesn't sound bad at all. That 150 cash back sounds good. What's that for? Is...

The initial ird and the dish were gifted to me, the triple lnb was damaged, so i ordered another one. I didn't care for the ird (rca model d something or other) so I bought another one. When I attempted to sign up for service I was told there would be a one year commitment which I don't care...

Hi lou_do, I'm curious, is that new receiver showing up as a lease fee, or a mirroring fee on your bill?

Sorry Jason I should have been clearer. I was referring to a new account activation not simply an old account with a new receiver activation, as is your case. From what I've been reading you should not be affected by this, but I've heard the opposite as well, since you own the equipment, but...

Good luck Jason. I bought one (D11-100) via ebay and it's in route to me as I type this. I would also like to know who makes that model. Hope I get it before the end of the month to avoid the "it wasn't activated before 31 March" recriminations from CSRs.s Also bought a replacement triple...

vurbano, You're right that would be cost prohibitive for them. Reviewing the directv news pdf posted in another topic, it looks like they're projecting 50+% take up of HD/DVR by year '08. Interestingly, in an off topic sort of way, they're also projecting around a 3 percent annual price...

Dragon is that factually known? Everything I've been reading has tended to indicate that the mirroring fee was going away. While it's true I haven't read any one specifically address this one yet, I would have thought this would have been brought up by now. Actually I have read on several...

You know, the one thing I don't understand about this lease program is the way they've done away with the mirroring fee in favor of a "leasing fee." Does anyone know how they're supporting that? I just don't get that, for current customers who own their equipment how can they justify...
