At last Well I finally convinced D* that I had a bad HR20. After being accused of lying just to get a HR24 they were convinced when they finally realized that a message saying they detected a problem with the storage device. The original installer came out ant put in a new HR20 and so far it...

Dear Mr. Cold, For your information, I did request an HR24. When the tech arrived he told me none were available. I accepted that answer and allowed an installation of the HR21 along with an H24 and a SD receiver. I thought the HR21 would work properly. I did not expect to be told by D* that I...

Thanks guys, I have done all of those things suggested so far. When I called support they suggested two things. Either I was stupid or I was dishonest because they had a record of my request for an HR24. What I said to them was "If I must have the older unit at least give me one that worked."...

I just connected to Directv yesterday, July 19. They gave me an HR21. I requested an HR24. I was told North Carolina has no HR24's. Yesterday things worked fairly well. The problems I had I attributed to my unfamiliarity with the system. Today I tried to watch one of the programs I had...

Thanks Thanks everybody for your prompt replies. Looking forward to enjoying Directv. Hoping I get the HR24 and H24, I really don't want to have an older model. I myself am an older model and I know I don't work as well as when I was a newer model :D. Thanks again.

Switching from E* to D* My install is set for July 19th when I get home from vacation. My question is when should I notify E* that I am switching? I don't want to be without service just in case something goes wrong on the 19th. Do you foresee any problems with the removal of the old Dish I...

Don't you guys get it. GB is really Charlie just pulling your leg and trying to see who his real friends and enemies are. As for his avatar is that really Milton Berle behind that paint?

By the way, I think Disneys' greed is second to none with the possible exception of MLB.

Keep them all off the dish. They are nothing but infomercials with an occasional break for programming. Who needs them? As someone mentioned before get the kids doing something active. If a child is young enough to be watching Handy Manny they don't care if it is in HD or SD. As to the ESPN...

I also have a weather alert radio. The only downside to the service is it scares the crap out of you when it goes off, especially in the middle of the night. But wait, it would be no good if you did not notice a tornado alert. The alert signal is loud enough to awaken me at the far end of the...

Welcome Parisnights. Sure wish I was close to Zern's again. I would head right to the Amish meat stand and get a five pound pan of scrapple. Can't get scrapple in NC, only grits and liver mush. And the best pulled pork anywhere.

Cleveland Stadium was six years old when I was born. Baker Bowl was in its final year and the Phillies were moving in to Shibe Park with Connie Mack's Athletics. A little scary to realize I am that old. However my mind is still good and sharp. Now, what was the question?

I think I know why Dish satisfaction went up. The people that were pissed off went to Direct and they still aren't happy so they just transferred their aggression to to the other guys. It is like voting for ... no I am not going there.:rolleyes:

Final two would be okay. I really did not care for any of the final three but I wonder how many of Russell's boosters would have voted for him had they been duped by him? A vote by the viewers would be more of a social popularity contest than the jury system now used. A good analogy would be...

People that cannot win by following the rules are likely to try to change the rules.
