Haha I'm not a complete newbie, but I frankly had no idea what a SW is.

What is SW? How am I supposed to update it?

Nope it's a regular client. No problems with main Genie

Not yet, I thought maybe do some troubleshooting myself. Calls to Directv or any TV Company rather is like 1+ hours of my time.

I haven't been on here for a while, but I'm having issues with my Genie Receiver and a meh install. Anyway, I got D* Installed yesterday, and everything was working fine until Today. when I try watching TV On a Genie Client, occasionally the picture freezes and then the client restarts. I don't...

UPDATE: I found a way to get into the BOX! By it's IP I can go to the configuration page where I can change network settings, firmware, etc.. It seems the firmware is a .BIN file. Anything I can do? jayn_j

Every time my credits expire I just call them back and they credit me again. They may be a bit stricter now since broadcasting costs increase..

I just push them a little bit and they credited the 7 bucks for 2 years :)

Yeah I get that now :). If I own the receiver AND dish, how much would it cost for Dish America?

Oh. Guess im not doing that. Since I own the receiver and everything, what's the cheapest plan I can get? I can install the dish myself too. Want to avoid 2-yr contract.

How would they know if I'm account stacking? Is account stacking illegal?

When I upgraded to a new DVR system. They asked me if I wanted to keep my Purchased 222K active for a $7 (I believe) additional cost. I said no since I didn't have a use for it. One of my family members was paying a lot for FIOS and didn't watch 90% of the channels he pays for. Can't I just...

It kinda sucks being a 15-year customer and have to always sign contracts. They still don't trust me. What did I ever do? :amen
