If I go through DirecTv, how much will they charge me for the HR24? Solid Signal has them for $199.

I'm being charged the $3 monthly whole-home fee for my Genie HR44 even though I'm not using that feature. A csr told me I have to be charged the fee just because I have a Genie. So, I'm thinking if I downgrade back to a HR24, that should get rid of the $3 fee. Will they try to charge me for...

Yeah, subscriber since '07.

I have called DirecTV 3 times. Their answer to this question makes no sense. Here goes: I have 3 receivers - 1 Genie, 1 HD-DVR, and 1 standard HD receiver. I am being charged $10 DVR fee, $10 HD fee, and $3 Whole-home fee. Of course, a total of $23. My question is why can't they switch me...

I have a Sony Wega non-hd tube TV with component inputs. Can I hook a HR21 to it? I assume the pq will be worse than a R15 hooked up.

Newb question...Is there any advantage to component vs. HDMI?

I just upgraded yesterday. When I switch my H21 to Native mode, it takes forever to change channels. Is there anything I can do about it? I have a Sharp Aquos, 720p.

Is it possible to have D* HD on one TV, and D* SD on another. I'm thinking about upgrading to HD on one TV but keeping my R-15 on the other. Don't want to spend $299 for a HD DVR yet. I know they will have to swap out my dish for another one.

I hope you guys can give me some answers. Because of MLB EI, I switched from E* to D* yesterday. I still have a year left on my E* agreement. When I called to cancel E*, the lady (Linda) told me about the cancellation fee ($159.96, for the 12 months left on the agreement). That I expected. What...

It's not the only receiver on my contract. So I guess it's okay, right?

Is deactivating a receiver and sending it back to Dish considered breaking the 18 month agreement? I want to take a 625 off my account.

How is the picture quality of D*compared to Dish?

My PC has only a VGA monitor out. TV has s-video, composite and component input.

When I switched to E* I thought they would have EI like they have the last 3 years or I wouldn't have switched. They are not blameless.
