    Moved to Directv from Dish Network

    I was paying about $97 at E* for all channels but the premiums. No sports package. Just Cinemax for .01. Many of my baseball games were either jip in HD or outright in SD when I know FSSW was carrying them in HD (D* had them in HD, I checked). Plus my locals weren't in HD. Now I'm paying about...

    Thanks everyone, I had read up on some of that in the manual, but was hoping for the 3 hour display - kinda helps me plan the whole evening. Much appreciated, all.

    No Directv for me.............

    I just switched to D*, with 1 tv, and the only thing I'm paying is the monthly charge, which is about $50 a month less than E* for the first year, and $25 @ month next year............for the same service. No charge for the HR 24, which I'm quickly falling in love with, no charge for...

    HR 24 guide

    Thanks, Jimbo. I had pretty much guessed that it took a bit of time to fill out all the data for 2 weeks. And, sigh, I was just hoping that it would show 3 hours worth. Much appreciated. Bob

    HR 24 guide

    2 questions. First, I looked ahead to Fri nite, and my guide info hasn't populated. I did this about 2-3 hrs after service was initiated on my D* account. How can I re-load or update my guide info to get the 14 days I think I should have? Second, the guide only shows 1 1/2 hours worth of...

    Universal remotes with Directv equipment

    I just had D* installed today, connected my Harmony 670 and added the HR 24 to my system. It works fine. I put a space between HR and 24, could that have been your problem with it? Not sure if spacing matters or not. The 670 is an older remote, a peanut shape, but I love it. It's my 2nd remote...

    D* Sat locations?

    99, 101, and 103 look pretty good to me. The azimuth is higher than 129 by far, and they are more to the south than it is, which means I don't have that tree in the way. Initially the installer strapped it to the chimney, below sight line from the front of the house, and could go directly into...

    D* Sat locations?

    Thanks, I looked at the 110 and 119, which are the same as E* has. But I didn't know if there were other from D* that I would need for my programming. If those are the only 2, they're in good locations for me.

    D* Sat locations?

    I currently have E* and when we put in HD, we had trouble with the Sat at 129 being lower in the sky. I live in East Texas about 2 hrs north of Houston. I'm moving to D* because of costs and programming. Are the D* sats higher or lower in the sky around here? Seems there's a tree across the...

    Have Dish-want direct-Dish want fee to remove dish

    Heck, the Dish installer tried his best to get my dish in a location that would pick up the HD channels. Finally he put it on the flat roof of my workshop behind my garage and "anchored it" to a flat cinder block. Ain't no thang to remove that one. And I never did have any reception problems...

    "Moving"

    ok, you skipped one. Yes to telling them that it's already up and running? Yes to autobilling? And thanks.

    "Moving"

    If I were to get D and found I was not satisfied with the Locals for my area, and wanted to "move", could I do so and tell them that there was already a dish there and I had hooked up my own equipment with everything looking fine? Would it be necessary for a tech to come out? I would want to...

    Texas Ranger games and Locals in Tyler, Tx DMA

    Thanks for the input. I guess I'm trying to ask whether I'll see more HD games in the Tyler DMA with D than I currently do in the Dallas DMA with E*. Also asking for a comparison of FoxSoutwest HD between the two.

    Texas Ranger games and Locals in Tyler, Tx DMA

    Anyone who follows the Rangers from Tyler's DMA? If so, when the games are not on FoxSouthwest, but are broadcast from KDFI in Dallas, are some of them in HD? KDFI broadcast some of them in 2008 in HD. I currently have E* and am in the Dallas DMA, but they don't have KDFI in HD, and I'm missing...
