    4k and adding another TV

    So today when I called back they just said $7/month extra and a tech will be out Saturday to install the equipment. No mention of $200 or $99. I should of recorded the call incase they try and charge me later.

    4k and adding another TV

    Ok so what if I don't need 4k on any TV? Just want to use my current HR44 to allow DVR content on upstairs TV? I called DTV yesterday and they told me it was $200 for equipment plus $7/month.

    4k and adding another TV

    So I have a DirecTV HR44-700 receiver downstairs on a new 4k TV (just moved my 1080p TV to another room upstairs). I wanted to find out if this receiver supports 4k? And what is the best way to get access to the DVR content on the other TV upstairs without spending a lot of money? Any help...

    Xbox 360 as Uverse IPTV STB (Set Top Box)

    The adapter is simply an HPNA adapter to convert your Xbox from Ethernet to Coax but you only need that if you have Coax ran. I have Cat5 ran all over my house so I don't need that and the remote is the same remote that came with my HD-DVD player which is also useless if you have a Logitech...

    Xbox 360 as Uverse IPTV STB (Set Top Box)

    Does anyone use their Xbox 360 as a Uverse STB? How does it work? Is it possible to get the CD or a copy of it so I can install it and then ask Uverse to add my Xbox as a device?

    1 Remote with 2 DirecTV Receivers

    No I want to be able to control 2 receivers with one remote but not at the same time. Like can I switch the switch at the top to a different thing to control the other receiver and leave it on DTV to control the first receiver? I would like to use the RF remote if that's possible.

    1 Remote with 2 DirecTV Receivers

    I did some installation at a house which had 2 DirecTV receivers (1 HD DVR, and 1 HD non-DVR). Both receivers are in the same cabinet. Is there a way to program 1 remote to control both receivers? Also are these receivers capable of using the RF remote? If I got 1 RF remote can I control both...

    Harmony Remote Adaptor for PS3

    from my experience (I setup home theaters for people) and I had the Nyko setup from the customer and when told the Logitech software that it was a PS3 it automatically made all the commands for me and I didn't have to learn each one. It just had a warning saying that this remote will not be...

    Tethering with AT&T

    When I had a Blackjack I tethered it all the time. Just had to have the latest version of WM and load Activesync on the PC that you were using it on. If the Activesync wasn't loaded the computer wouldn't recognize the phone being connected.

    Dish 622

    No I am getting the locals over the air with an antenna already on my 622. The problem is if I don't have a DVR I can't watch my shows because most of them are on when I'm not available to watch them. I just called Dish and got the locals, Family package and my total per month is now $27.99...

    Dish 622

    yeah I actually called them and got the Family Package $19.99 and locals $5 and $7 lease fee. And they told me the HD would be turned off but I still get all the locals in HD. I even asked them about the free HBO & Starz for 3 months and got that too with auto cancel after 3 months.
