Thanks for the response.

I had to cancel D* due to $$ issues. Love the service but needed to cut back significantly as of late. I know from seeing other threads that the recovery box has a pre-paid shipping label but does D* cover this or do they make me pay them back for the shipping? It seems they don't charge when...

Thank you both for the information. I didn't realize that the lease applies if I bought it on my own so I'll just get what they offer me. Thanks again, Chris

Hello. I currently have a 3 lnb oval dish w/ 3 DirecTivos (non-HD). I plan on calling D* this week to see what they can offer as far as upgrading my dish and adding HD DVRs. From what I've been reading I should have no problem getting these at no upfront costs (though I realize it's all in...

I was pleasantly surprised to see this. I don't subscribe to the HD package anymore so I thought I would only get the local channels in HD (since I sub. to this package). Is this just a mistake or will I always have the Yes HD feed? I was actually going to get the HD package for the baseball...

Hi Jimbo. I was planning on doing that a while ago but I have only 1 hd set, my other TVs are old school. My wife would kill me if she didn't get the same quality reception as she does now on the older sets. Thanks.

Thanks! Thank you Raymo721. I'm really surprised CS didn't know this, especially considering it was an "upper tier" rep that I was transfered to. I even read the message that appeard re channel listings when I pushed "guide." She did try but I guess she never came across it before. Thanks...

Got it Thursday night/Friday morning I received the upgrades on the 2 units I have (NY area). One went fine (model SD-DVR40) the other (DVR2, i think?) was OK but when I use the chanel up or down button the banner comes up just as if I were pushing the info button (and the chanel doesn't...

Hello everyone. I'm watching the Yankee game on Yes HD and have the signal breaking up frequently. ESPN HD is doing the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this? My standard stations are fine. We have stormy weather here in the NY metro area so I didn't know if that had anything to do...
