Thank You, he has long ago passed over to the Rainbow Bridge

Alright, that's kinda what I thought was happening but it's cool to be able to check it out. Thanks much.

Ok understand caliber of man you are dealing with here, not brightest bulb in box, what is the national release. I'm gonna assume it's just a standard upgrade correct. Thank you for your quick reply.

This morning, our HDDVR 24started downloading software at 5:15 in morning (first time ever at that time) Numbers on top of screen were 1/1/0/20 and 7D/001B/05C8/06/0105. then below it said New Software found (05CB) I’m assuming those are the version numbers (05CB) It took 15 minutes. Anybody...

Does that mean my 5.99 protection plan monthly charge will stop.

Well as stated the original contract from DirecTV is a "as is" contract unless I'm reading it wrong. Need an attorney to do a dumbed down explanation of contract for me. I know buying or selling a used car or anything used for that matter I am familiar with the term "As Is" I always took that to...

Below is warranty and in bold is the confusing issue. You are responsible for the loss of, damage to or the entire cost of any necessary service or repair of the leased DIRECTV equipment. You have no right to sell, give away, transfer, pledge, mortgage, alter or tamper with the equipment...

Well that's exactly what I asked about before I took the protection plan and whoever it was I talked to gave me the info that they did not cover leased units and that you had to purchase a new unit. I will give a call to DirecTV to investigate. What about the service call or when unit is shipped...

Well the support guy got out here and did the remove/replace the 24 unit yesterday, He also checked the dish line up and all appears proper. I guess the reason I took the Pro-plan was because a new unit warranty etc is only a limited 90 day program. Am I correct? Even though I took advantage...

Well as I said this is 1st Protection Plan I've ever tried, and I will get back to discuss outcome.

Never have purchased any extra warranty for anything but for whatever reason I decided to jump in. Well last Thursday (3/10/11) HD-DVR24 started freezing picture and after couple minutes do a reset and come back on. It might work for 3 hrs and repeat and as quickly as 8 minutes and repeat...

Well we got through our blizzard 24 hrs of snow and winds etc and did not have any problems at all. I decided to take installers advice and leave it alone, all was good. Thank all for replies.

Well I gave my installer a call, he says he would not because of the dust and dirt build up come warmer weather he said weapon of choice would be rainX.

Blizzard conditions expected and heard something about spraying Pam on dish but all say do it beginning of winter, just curious does anybody know if this works as it would cause less trips to roof for 74 yr old.:(

I think it's what Server called a radio antenna. I will give a call and see if I can narrow that down a bit. I will find out what's on tower but at least as I stated there is a huge improvement in consistency. No 15 to 20 disconnects a day I would like more speed but maybe not. If I ever got...
