    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    I plan on calling in soon, what I am wondering though is unless they give me some kind of ridiculous offer to stay, I actually will cancel, whats the process then? Do I pay the ETF and final bill right over the phone, or do they mail me a final bill, or what goes on? We are going to try...

    HR44 screen goes black while watching live TV

    Ended up having a service call and he cleaned up some wiring and gave me a replacement HR44-500. He said he thought it was corrupted software or something cause the date of the update was close to when my problems started. Either way it's working now. Thanks for the help.

    HR44 screen goes black while watching live TV

    I just checked them (as it is working at the moment) and the lowest number on any of those was 87, most numbers in the low 90's as you said.

    HR44 screen goes black while watching live TV

    Hey guys, this week or so I have noticed that my HR44 will just go black while watching live TV. Guide still comes up but no video or audio. Soon as I change to another channel it works, but eventually will go black again. A reset fixes it for a few days but it just comes back. Viewing...

    NHL Center Ice Discounts

    I've never had any luck with a Center Ice discount, but on Sunday I called and asked what my contract end date was(I had 14 months left, which I knew), and told the girl that the iPad Dish was going to give me would cover my ETF. She ended up giving me $30 off for a year, a Genie w/ free...

    Center Ice

    I just called in to re-add the package(i cancelled it before the season) and they told me I can't even order it til Saturday, which is the day the season starts. Makes no sense. And since he couldn't add it he couldn't offer me any deals for it.

    So, I'm trying to find a loophole...

    Is there anything in your rental agreement that you signed? If not then I don't see why you couldn't get whoever you wanted. If it's in your agreement tho you are probably stuck. Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

    Directv contract with Fox networks coming up...AGREEMENT REACHED

    Ok so lets say this does happen, and these channels are indeed pulled from us. I get NHL Center Ice for Red Wings games as I am out of market, what are the odds I have any chance of getting my money back? I don't care about the other games for other teams. I paid for HD Red Wings games, not...

    Altoona/Johnstown PA Locals

    Altoona in the house I see.... :D Anyway, the only issue I have is with Fox, it seems to be the lowest quality HD I have ever seen in my life. In fact sometimes I am convinced it isn't HD at all. Sports seem to be fine, the Steeler game last week looked good, but then we record shows like...

    DirecTV could lose G4 (Removed 11-1)

    TechTV was fantastic. I loved the Screen Savers. G4 can cease to exist for all I care.

    MRV doesn't stay connected

    I had this very issue with my HR23 dropping off my network. Problem was successfully resolved by assigning it an IP outside my DHCP range, as someone mentioned. Have not had one disconnect since I gave it an outside IP address.

    Having a replacement receiver shipped to me - but order says...

    stonecold, will CSRs have access to a FedEx tracking # for me? I called earlier and she said there wasn't one in the system. i prefer to have packages held for me, so i can pick them up after work, rather than have them sit outside @ my house.

    The Howard Stern Show

    I know my sirius subscription is done if Howard goes. The music is just too repetitive to make it worthwhile, I'd be better served with an MP3 player into my car stereo. I really enjoy the history of howard, and the old best of shows they play when they're on vacation, so i don't mind them...
