    Multi Platform Discount

    Can somebody breakdown what type of discount this is? My wife just bought a car with an XM radio and I have a car with a Sirius Radio. Is the discount being charged an add'l radio price or a discount off a full subscription. For example, if I have an annual subscription, will she get charged...

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 5/29 v.31A

    Haven't downloaded a CE in a while. Can't wait to try out the Dual Live Buffers. That was one of my favorite features on my old DirecTivo.

    Would this work?

    There is no problem with doing that since the dish is only used to pick up the signal (your ac is what is linked to your account). If anything you might need to update the address on the account for locals and what not.

    New suspending service policy

    The policy is that you can suspend you account twice a year and the suspend would have to be between 30 days and 6 months.

    HR-20 Internal Temp

    My HR20-100 averages at 107 but will go up to 113 if my Xbox 360 has been in use since it is in the same entertainment center next to each other.

    DVR fee?????

    The DVR used to be free with the Premier package but that changed about a month or two ago. People were grandfathered into the free DVR service but if you make a change to your service you'll start receiving a $5.99 charge for it even if you still have Premier on the account.

    Directv New HD Channels

    D* never mentioned anything about the HD channels launching today. That was on a post by some guy that some installer told him. Installers might have some early info when it comes to equipment. The post stated the installer said the HD channels will start today and there would be a lot of...

    103°B Am i screwd? / Directv New HD Stuff

    A long while back I remember hearing that a 60% signal for MPEG4 would be equivalent to an 80 or 90% signal. Take that for what it is worth since this was along time ago and it was around the time that Detroit started getting the HD locals. I could be true or an excuse for having a low signal...

    CSR Tips Tricks and promo codes

    Actually if you call in and don't already have the Sunday Ticket ask for the new customer offer and you'll get it. The CSRs have been told they can add it to existing accounts that don't have it already to increase NFL ST sales.

    Signal Testing?

    With all the threads and anticipation for the new HD channels I decided to look at my signal strength on the new sat. While trying to view my signal strength I received this message that it will conflict with a scheduled event named "Signal Testing". Has anybody seen this before and/or know...

    Breaking News Live from the Directv Entertainment Expo

    I had viewed some internal documents stating that the new HD channels are going to begin broadcasting on the 19th at 6am est. TBS was one of the launch channels as well as the premium channels (HBO/SHO/Max/Starz) to name a few. I would post a copy of the document but on the bottom of each page...

    Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

    How is it dated 7 months ago? The date on the first page of the pdf is 09/06/07 which is only 2 days ago. About the satellite launch of the 19th, that is about the service not the actual satellite. The wording is probably stating the launch of the services on the new satellite.

    Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

    Everyone thinks its the 16th but it will actually be the 19th and I've attacthed the proof. The PDF is a converted from a PPT that D* will be using to train CSRs and the Excel file shows an example of what channels to expect at the HD launch. Don't bother asking me about my source because I...
