I have always been under the understanding that if your CE number is higher than the National release it will not override it. In other words if the National release is 057A and I have the CE 058C, it will not override it. If the National release is 057A and I have the CE of 056D, it will...

It will overwrite it, if your CE is older than the release. If your CE is newer than the National release it will not, in other words if you have downloaded the CE in the past couple of weeks, it will probably not overwrite it.

It is worth the wait. But you have to remember most people would be confused when they see it, without knowing it is coming. Very few DirecTV users come on these forums, and have very little knowledge about their equipment. The majority of users know how to turn the unit on and off and change...

It is slowly being released nationally. Not everyone is getting it at the same time.

Ala-Carte programing was available during the days of C-Band. But by the time you picked all the individual channels you wanted, it cost as much as if you just picked a package with the channels you wanted. It cost programers a lot more to program individual receivers than it does to assign an...

Bad installers are everywhere. I recently had a movers install, in our new home, and they installed DECA and SWM. After the installer left, I was only getting one tuner that worked on each of my HR20-700s, and no longer had an Internet connection for TV Apps & YouTube. After several calls with...

I was surprised to read your post that they told you that, because my two HR20-700s have been fine working fine with the HD -Guide and menus.

I have it on both of my HR20-700s from the CE.

A few months ago I had a movers installation, when we moved onto our new house. They wired it with SWM and DECA and no Internet connection. Off and on, after the tech left and for days, I would have only had 1 tuner that worked on my DVRs. I ended up unhooking and removing all of the DECA...

Mine selects shows that I never even would consider watching. To me that screen is useless, and I ignore it.

I first got it on my H24-700 then a couple of weeks later it showed up on my HR20-700s. It is definitely faster than the old SD guide. I would find it hard to go back to the old SD guide.

They will install what ever receivers they have on the truck, at the time of your installation. You can request a particular receiver but you will get what they have at that time. As SWM and DECA they will probably ask you if you want DECA, but most everything new is done in SWM. Just had a new...

Agree.

I got to meet Leo and Sumi, once, when they were in Florida promoting their show. Nice people.
