I've called several times, and they continue to call me every few months to bring me back. At this point, I just can't justify the startup costs. Free is a different story, which by the way, made it so easy to switch to cable. At the time, Cable had more HD, the HD DVR for free (ok well...

I wanna win!

Ok... Former D* customer several years ago. Cable came in with the Triple Play offer and now I'm with that (Cablevision). I'm thinking seriously about DirecTV but just can't get past the expense of the equipment. Right now I have 2 HD DVR's, and one standard cable box. I want a comparable...

Thanks for the help. I am going to try and call back. It just seems so silly that they want me to switch back- and my old HD equipment (HR10-250) won't work anyway with the new channels. But to switch back would cost me so damn much- how do they expect to compete with the cable companies in...

Hey all- Don't post here much if at all but I'm in a quandry. I currently have iO cable from Cablevision and was a DirecTV subscriber prior to that. I'm getting tired of the garbage service I get from Cablevision so after getting several letters and phone calls from DirecTV, I'm considering...

Ugh... FiOS is being rolled out around here, but from what I hear my neighborhood won't be getting it until sometime next year- nothing more specific than that unfortunately.

Well, I wish I could say for sure. Here's what happened. I tried to make the daily call and several test calls, but didn't have the 10 digit number set up, only the 7 digits. Callvantage requires 10 digit dialing. The only way to get back into the option of 10 digit dialing is to go into the...

Well, thanks for all the help everyone. I got it working by screwing with it for three hours.

Hi guys- I just switched over to AT&T Callvantage and one of the main selling points was the fact that it was compatible with the Tivos. Everything is set up, and my jacks are now live via my TA. I have Fax and modem support enabled on my Callvantage account. Problem is, my Tivos won't dial...
