    I need your help to save my life.

    Thanks everyone for your support and for signing. Every signature helps...and I still have many hurdles to overcome. I'm already exhausted trying to hang in there and help do everything I can to get the surgery. I realized the other day, at the end of all of this...I have a 20 hour surgery...

    Oh goodness! Thanks so much everyone for signing and helping to support me getting this transplant. It's amazing that sci-fi medicine is really being used!

    It's been 7 years since I went wi-fi router shopping...

    So do you find the cable providor slows down randomly, certain times of the day? I'm trying to figure this all out and I'm about to conclude that I need to start with the router as the problem source as direct connected speeds were consistently good. I'm hoping thing will work together once I...

    Thank you SO much! yaz96, I'll keep you posted...thanks for asking! navychop, I'm afraid you're right and the sad thing is what you're saying is against what all the religions believe! But, I hope it isn't the case. (Other than not dying), that another reason I really want this...

    Awesome info! Thanks so much for sharing. Umm, I don't think that range is too much of an issue - we live in a two bdrm apt, very well made with concrete floors etc...we never hear the neighbors at all. So, in some ways, if the range is too good, it could be worse for us as we live in the...

    I need your help to save my life.

    I hope it's OK to post this here but I didn't see anywhere else to or problems with doing so. I've been a member of these forums for awhile, from reading about DirecTV for a year before we could get it (due to location) through our contract, enjoying every minute of it...I was even part of the...

    Whew! It's been 7 years since I went router shopping. At that time, my choice was fairly...the Linksys Wrt54GS. It was not expensive with all the rebates back then and was consistently given rave reviews. Now, things are different. There are so many options out there that I'm overwhelmed...

    D* Premium Package

    Hi, I looked on Directv's website and am a little unclear as to what is included in the top premium package. Does it include HD, DVR, & HD channel package? I'm considering upgrading to it but if all of those items are addons, it's no longer cost effective. I've been a customer almost a year...

    HR20 HR21 HR22 R22 HR23 CE Release 5/21

    Thanks. I'm assuming that it's a flat $3 instead of $3 per receiver like some other companies?? ;)

    HR20 HR21 HR22 R22 HR23 CE Release 5/21

    Quick question, is MRV gone now? It's no longer working on my systems and I've had messages saying that I had to order it now. I must have missed something...Could someone elaborate for me please?

    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    Wish BBC America HD, History International HD, Nat Geo Wild HD, and TCM HD had made the list, though :(

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 3/12

    OK, it all ended up sorting out but it was really strange. One H23 immediately restarted the download when I repowered on and it was eventually a success. Second H23 wouldn't power back on AT ALL. Finally unplugged it for 30 secs and tried again. It powered on and did a receiver self check...

    HR2x / R22 CE Release 3/12

    Interesting...never had this problem before. All three receivers (HR23-700 & 2 H23-600) stalled at various points during the download(s) and eventually turned themselves off. When I powered back on, they seem to be trying to download again. Hoping that it works this time!
