vintage is probably not the right choice of words, outdated might be a better choice. I'm just looking for some advice as audio receivers aren't an area of strength for me.

I recently moved into new house where I will be able to set up a home theater system. A combination of many things (including laziness) stopped me from doing so over the last 15 yrs or so. I pulled 4 receivers from storage that have either been used by me or family members in some capacity...

sorry for the questions but I guess I don't understand the benefit of having the 2 tuners (other than being able to record 7 things at one time vs 5 with the genie/mini). I will try to hold on to them but my house wasn't previously wired for anything so there may be issues with wiring in 3...

Peds48: Thanks for the msg. Can you tell me why that is? Also, I think that I have had the 2 older ones for quite a while so I may actually have bought those vs. leasing. Does anyone know how long the leasing program has been going on? I know that I used to just buy my boxes up until a...

Turns out that I was out of contract so I had a bit of leverage. I think I did alright. I am sure I could have done better but I am fine not pushing my luck. Ultimately, I got the move package (free move/install, free upgrades of my two older boxes, and Sunday Ticket Max). As for getting my...

Jcrandall - thanks for quick response and good info. Do you know if there is somewhere I can find out when my contract is up with out contacting them? Does it show anywhere on my profile on the DTV website? I couldn't locate it anywhere and looked for a while but I am sure I could have missed...

I haven't called yet but I am planning on doing so this week. My intention is not to get ST or anything special/extra. I am looking to lower my bill. I have been a DTV subscriber for over 15 years and only once (just about 2 years ago) called and threatened to cancel. This time I am very...

I had ST for quite awhile but cancelled about 3 yrs ago. I got it again this yr along with the Max package bc my kids have swim meets throughout Oct-Jan. my thought was that I would be able to watch my Bears play during these swim meets but I think I'm going to have an issue. I live in the...

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I think I will stand pat with what I have. Here's hoping that we meet up in the Big 10 Championship but even I don't have that much Orange kool-aid to think that my ILLINI are going to be much better than last year....:cheers:

On the directv app there is a remote control device that you can use but I don't know that it is any different than the other remotes and/or if will only change the channel on one box or all of them. Not sure if that is what the OP was referring to but thought I would make mention.

Still hoping for an answer here for my Genie question. I recently got a Genie 44 and a mini-Genie to go along with my HR-22 and HR-24. I put the Genie in the family room as the main box, the mini-Genie in the basement which will be for the kids and I moved the worst one (HR-22) to my office to...

scratch everything I just said...:)

JCrandall - thanks for the response. So, if I am reading you correctly, if my mini-genie (C41) is just going to sit in the basement there really isn't much of an advantage to getting the wireless, correct? As for the 22 and 24, soon after I posted it I was able to figure it out so both are now...

Dumb question probably but what is DNS (or VIP Channels)? Is this referring to specific programming packages? I have Choice Xtra Classic (which as everyone knows is no longer offered as a package) and I have had for over 10 years and it has survived 2 moves using the "Movers Connection" and I...
