Jimbo answered: <<dobies, Did you try calling D* ? When I set up mine, I told them that I only had a phone jk for 1 receiver and they set it up that way, I cannot order any PPV's for that unit, but I don't order them anyways. I have never get a nag about calling in. If I go to a PPV...

Thanks, damaged. That sounds like it would be above my capabilities. :) I wonder what will happen if I just ignore the nag screens. Any downside to that? dobies

Greg----- can you tell me just where you found that rebate form on the D website? I've just been there--- did a search for *rebate* and got some hits. First one was for *redemption form*. Here's what was there: * STEP 1 After you purchase a DIRECTV® System you will receive a...

damaged----- Can you explain a bit more about the *internet connections (if supported) part of your answer? I'm getting the nag screens also. I have Directv with Tivo and a directv R10 receiver. I'll never order ppv, so don't need to dial in. I can understand needing a phone line to...

Okey dokey. And thanks. dobies

Thank you very much! This means, I guess, that I'll have to re-program each new episode, week by week? Sigh, just when I was getting used to never have to do that again. :) Maybe I should have spent the money for the 100 hours of programming? :) dobies

Thanks for replying. Yes, I am. Does that make a difference? dobies

I have Dtivo with a new R10 receiver to allow me up to 70 hours of programming. So far everything is fine, except I tried to make a new Season Pass last night and got the message that *not sufficient disk space*. I've only got about 35 hours on the Now Playing list recorded. I have a...

Thanks to all who helped me. Now I have another question :) about the Season Pass. I'll start a new thread for that one. dobies

Thanks to everyone who's answered me. I've saved all the information for the future----- since I broke down and went to Best Buy and bought the *free* R10! I wanted more hours *now* for the new season coming up. :) Any ideas that might help me? Just any old thing. Eager to learn. But if I...

Newbie question hogarth, Thank you so much! Upgrading sounds more what I want---- but when I'd called D* before *they* said that wasn't possible. Sigh. I know that depending on who you talk to you may or may not get correct answers. Can you tell me more about this upgrade? Cost...

I currently have DVR (dual feed) (through D*) with only 35 hours recording. I want to upgrade to 70 or more hours recording. I don't want to download recorded programs to a VCR. Best Buy has a rebate offer, essentially giving away the R 10 receiver (I think it's R 10) with 70 hr. recording...
