    What is DIRECTV's new GENIE?

    Is there a special number just for Retention or I just call the normal Directv number? Thanks

    How do I switch tuners on HR21-700?

    I upgraded from a HR10-250 and am trying to find our how to switch from one tuner to the other one with the HR21. On the HR10 you can hit Info and switch tuners. I use this to catch up on a show that starts before another one ends. Some shows run over a few minutes now. I would put one tuner on...

    HR21-700 pops going from SD to HD

    Turning Native off didn't work. I'll think about changing the HDMI cable. Thanks

    HR21-700 pops going from SD to HD

    Thanks cjrudy. I do have it connected with an HDMI cable. But changing Native to off seems to have fixed it for me for now.

    HR21-700 pops going from SD to HD

    I just got upgraded to the 5 lnb dish and an HR21-700. When I change from a Standard def channel to a High Def channel there is a series of pops that sound sort of like electrical arcing (think welder). Is this normal? If something is wrong, I want to get them back out immediately. My HR10-250...

    Cinemax Free throughout December!

    I sub to HBO and no one offered me free CineMax. All I got was a call from a DirecTv salesperson wanting me to sub to Starz at the great value price of $11 a month. lol

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    The way it worked for me was I called and got the basic deal. After it was installed and activated I called the next day and got the HDTIVO at the retention deal. I couldn't get it until I had activated the first receiver.

    Anyone using internet phone service ?

    I have Packet8 on Wireless Broadband and I have issues on and off all the time. My wife won't us it so I am still paying $50 a month for a landline without extras. The broadband comes from a tower to an antenna/receiver on the roof. I lose packets occasionally (cuts out) and sometimes is sounds...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    I hope they honor the lifetime subscription, but it is my understanding that when you buy a lifetime sub, it is for the life of that TIVO box, not your lifetime. If it burns out and you have to buy another unit, you have to purchase another lifetime sub or pay monthly. If this is the case, your...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    Who can I complain to about install? I couldn't get the 299 deal because I wasn't an existing customer, so I called for the basic deal. After they gave me an account number, I tried again to get the $299 deal. They couldn't do it until I was activated but made notes to give me the deal with HBO...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    I called three times. They brought my name up on their screen after the first call and they all stood by $499 after rebate even though I told them I had been with VOOM and could get a HDDVR from Dish for $250. How do I get the $199 deal from Directv?
