It sounds like they are getting rid of inventory in a way to minimize net cost. In this case, give the d12 to little old ladies. ugh.

Mother was charged 50$ for her pole install. :-(

looks like SD is"the gold standard" ... http://www.directv.com/technology/standard_receiver

Thank you for the suggestion, and I do intend to do so. Unfortunately, this is only one piece of their chaos right now, so I have not gotten to calling or emailing DirecTV yet. I hope to get there after work either today or tomorrow, and call from her home, with her present ... so we can get my...

That sounds like a wonderful, respectful and customer centric practice! Anyways, all said and done, they do have what they agreed to accept ( SD ), but they do not have what they expected. Big let down for them, and very confusing for them, and i'm sure for many that are not familiar with what...

yes, its pretty obvious i should have supervised, but, like stated, granny did her thing, and didnt tell me what was going on. now, to trying to move forward. no idea what was said to my 84 year old grandmother, but what ever was said, i can assure you was not understood. And my 65 yr...

Hello all and help please. :-) 80+ year old grandmother ordered tv service for my 60+ yr old mother who has zero chance of understanding any aspect of the install. The installer is wrapping up ( too late? ) a SD install at her home now i'm an hour's drive away, and been scrambling to figure...

Received and am using. My opinion ( your mileage my vary ) It sets on the front of the tv easily since it has about a one inch lip on the top. The lip has four little offset rubber like feet that help it grip the top cleanly. The front hangs relatively close to the surface of the LCD and does...

Tv-Protector ordered "Anti-Glare TV Screen Protector for 47 inch LCD, LED or Plasma TV" Fingers crossed ... Just in case it helps somebody here in the future, I'll drop a note to advise how it works out.

Holy cow. Local framing company wanted 800$ for the matte/anti glare acrylic !! So far, other local locations checked do not carry. The online prices looking better all the time, as is the "tv-protector" ( recommended by KAB ) for its total shipped cost. (BestBuy also sells this as a market...

Yea I've seen a couple types of these things: Adhesive backed film to apply Static (non adhesive) film to apply Acrylic like that fastens to TV by velcro, straps or adhesive Acrylic like that "hangs" from the top of the TV Problem is , they are all expensive , and cant find enough...

hmm, how to tell? May have to look to see if I have one in my "old stuff" box. and help me understand ... how would the separator potentially cause this kind of behavior?

Just upgraded my now ancient first generation Sony Bravia XBR , that had a "Matte" screen. ( Subjectively It had zero reflection. and near zero glare) I now have an LG 47LM6700, that .. like most current LED lit LCDs ... has a near mirror glossy surface. Love everything about the TV except...

any chance that if one remote is in, lets say, tv mode ... and he is holding the other remote ... and presses sat ... that the receiver could refuse to respond? and related ... anyway to disable the "other modes" buttons ? If un-solvable, then may very well need to do the suggested service...

When this happens the other two tvs on the same receiver work fin on their UHF remotes. I saw him put fresh batteries in to one of the ir remotes, but can't say if they are weak for certain. He has been unplugging the receiver and then plugging back in to get it to work again. If it is...
