    Deactivating a used directv hd receiver?

    Are you able to watch whatever channels the original owner subscribes to? If so then I'm sure he'll cancel it when he realizes he's still paying for it. If you don't see any channels it probably means he has an outstanding balance with directv and you might be screwd :eek:

    HELP can DTV cause interference to a garage door opener??? read on

    I think its either a coincedence that the garage door opener started having problems after setting up the dish, or a wire might have got cut when they were installing the dish. Directv doesn't beam a signal at your house when you sign up. The signals are always there and they are nowhere near...

    What satellite is universal hd on?

    I think that should be Directv 11 satellite. Spaceway 2 is spotbeams only as far as I know.

    Is it Better to Add an Extra HD-DVR Initially or After 30 Days?

    As far as I know they have a new policy that says if you order new equipment from them in the first 6 months they will charge you an extra $50. So you would pay 199+50. They want you to get all the equipment the first time so they don't have to come back out. I don't know why the CSR...

    directv multiple receivers

    The best thing to do would be install a second dish on the guest house. You would have to do it though because I don't think D* will, and they definately wouldn't do it for free. Even if you used RG11 cable I think 1000 feet would be too far. And if you have 2 HDDVR's you would need 4 lines...

    Newb

    If you're a new customer I think you have to have directv install it and you don't really have a choice as to which model they bring. You can buy and activate another receiver after they leave though. In my area all the stores only carry the HR21, but I think solidsignal still let's you order...

    need help , should go in as new or returning customer ?

    I don't think they really give any deals to returning customers so if you can use your wife's name or something I would sign up as new. They've been cutting back on deals they'll give to existing customers as well-(making them pay full price for HD equipment upgrades instead of giving for free)...

    ? about old RG6 cabling with new HD install

    1 Ghz = 1000 Mhz, so the 2200 Mhz cable is the same as saying 2.2 Ghz. Directv doesn't use any frequencies above 2.2 ghz on the cable so you're fine. I'm not sure the highest frequency they use but its not over 2.2ghz. Even if they did, the cable doesn't just cut off all signals above 2.2ghz...

    ? about old RG6 cabling with new HD install

    "So...we hooked it all up, after putting on new connectors. I expected the HD channels to be better than what i was getting w/ Charter. It turns out that's not the case. It seems not near as sharp. Less detail on faces with more softness on the DirTV feed. I guess i can take the trade-off, as...

    Slimline 2 Wire Install Question

    Actually now that I think about it, you could put the SWM module near the dish with 4 lines running into it, then use 1 or both of the underground lines to feed your receivers with the appropriate splitters. All your receivers would have to be SWM compatible though. Directv won't pay for the...

    Slimline 2 Wire Install Question

    There is supposed to be a slimline dish with a built in SWM in development. You can do a search for SWMline to find details. It would allow one line to feed 8 tuners but there is no ETA for it at the moment. Richard

    H20 vs. HR20

    The H20 doesn't really care about markets except maybe for guide data. If you live in the middle of 3 or more markets you could get all of the channels and subchannels as long as the signal is strong enough. I wish the HR2x's used this method as well. D* doesn't carry fox in my area and it...

    ITVN has charged my credit card twice

    I noticed today ITVN.com and XTV.com's websites are gone and they just say under construction. Hopefully they will stop charging if they are shutting everything down. Richard

    ITVN has charged my credit card twice

    When you get a new card it should have a different account number and the old account number should be closed out. Since ITVN has the old number any charges should be denied. Any automatic payments you want to go through must be updated with the new number. That's the way it has always worked...

    ITVN has charged my credit card twice

    well I noticed my credit card has two pending charges from ITVN again this month. I wonder how long this will go on. I filed with the bbb also.
