    "President's line" disconnected!!!

    I just tried to call the "President's line" (for problem resolution) and it said it had been disconnected and instructed me to call the regular DirecTV C/S number, 800-531-5000!! WTF!?!?!?

    HR23-700 with 771 error

    Sorry, newbie here. I'm not sure which ones I should be checking. I looked at 3 or 4 of the signal strengths (by clicking on the plus sign) and they were all about the same.

    HR23-700 with 771 error

    I have a brand new HR23-700 HD DVR box installed by DTV less than one month ago. They used the existing 5 LNB oval antenna and two coax lines. It is the only receiver I have. Last night I started getting the 771 error on at least two channels: 278 Discovery and 229 HGTV, and there might be...

    H20-100 HDMI output not working?

    Nope No, just you guys here! Most of my friends wouldn't know AV from Db!! :) Since the TV is new, I have scheduled a service call on it. I'll let them tell me what isn't working. I'm sure if it ISN"T a TV problem, they'll point that out!!

    H20-100 HDMI output not working?

    no other HDMI No, unfortunately I only have the H20 as a possible HDMI source, and the new TV as the only HDMI receiver. It makes it difficult to diagnose!

    H20-100 HDMI output not working?

    I had my H20-100 connected to my old HD TV by component video. I recently purchased a Mitsubishi WD-65835 HD TV with HDMI inputs. When I connected the H20-100 to the TV, it acted like it is not getting any signal. I tried two brand new cables and neither worked. The HDMI cables are rated...

    Caller ID on H20 not working after firmware upgrade

    I didn't mean to sound like I was critizing your estimate of the problem--sorry. I have no idea what percentage of users are experiencing this Caller ID problem. I only know that everyone I know who has an H20 has this same issue. You did touch on one point: I have the H20-600 (made in...

    Caller ID on H20 not working after firmware upgrade

    still having problems Iam now on my third H20 receiver and I still have no Caller ID. These have all been factory new units and not refurbished. I'm not convinced that this defect applies to only "0.001% of us". What is weird is that with "notices" turned off, some of the calls are...

    Caller ID on H20 not working after firmware upgrade

    Still no help I tried unplugging the telephone line and it still doesn't work. My best guess is that this another (the 3rd) receiver that doesn't work properly from D*. And by the way, if the Tier 1 guy says that Caller ID is not set set up to work yet on the H20, then how come so many...

    Caller ID on H20 not working after firmware upgrade

    No Caller ID on new H20 I unplugged my H20 overnight and the very first incoming call still displayed the message to "call the telephone company". I started with a new H10 unit from D* last Novemebr and after having problems with it (although the Caller ID worked fine) D* sent me a...

    Caller ID on H20 not working after firmware upgrade

    Shame on you D*! I joined this forum specifically so I could respond to this posting. How dare you ask your customers to have patience with this issue, or any other? It's about time D* got their s**t together with tech support. Every time I call I get a different answer to the same...
