    Great Offer I Got...

    Thanks for the answers guys. It sounds like a good deal, but ultimately I decided to pass for now. The season is half over, so I'm hoping they offer again next year.

    Great Offer I Got...

    I got a similar call and am considering it for the ST. I just want to make sure I know exactly what the new amount will be in 5 months. Here is my current package: And this is what my bill looks like: Can someone tell me what my new monthly amount due will be for Choice Extra +...

    Any way to get Superbowl in HD?

    That's what I was thinking - that it might be hard for a business to "move" and then move back. Having a friend go through the trouble of "moving" for just one TV probably isn't work it - my backup plan of bringing my DirecTV tailgating dish and receiver would be easier. Thanks for the...

    Any way to get Superbowl in HD?

    He's not at the restaurant tonight so I won't know that until tomorrow. It was installed about six months ago with four HD, non-DVR receivers. I don't know if Dish has a "standard" receiver that fits this profile or not. If the receivers do have OTA input, is there a way to tap in on the roof...

    Any way to get Superbowl in HD?

    Good afternoon, A buddy of mine owns a restaurant and has Dish. He's closed every Sunday but since the host of our annual Super Bowl party is still without power due to the ice storm, he has offered to host at his restaurant for a few friends and family. We in the Fort Smith, AR local...

    HR20 Boot Time - Speed It Up?

    Great idea! Can you tell me who carries a remote start mechanism for my generator that will work from my stadium seat? My parking spot is 3,519 yards from my seat, as the crow files, so the remote starter will need to have good range. Thanks in advance for your help. :rolleyes:

    HR20 Boot Time - Speed It Up?

    I was afraid of that. Is the H20 significantly faster? Anyone here clocked it?

    HR20 Boot Time - Speed It Up?

    I will tailgate with my HR20 for the first time tomorrow. One thing that really bothers me is how long it takes to get a picture with this receiver. I just clocked it at 8 minutes and 37 seconds from plugging in the receiver until I had a picture. That's a particularly big deal after the game...

    Want HD DVR, need help getting it for $99

    I got around to calling back this morning. I said "cancel service" at the prompt and got to someone in Retention with virtually no wait. I explained that I wanted to upgrade to a HD DVR and that I had a couple of friends who were able to do it for $99. I said I didn't think they were under...

    Want HD DVR, need help getting it for $99

    They have referred to the $199 price as the "new customer" price more than once on my phone calls. I know that doesn't help but at least gives you some context.

    Want HD DVR, need help getting it for $99

    Wow, thanks to everyone for the advice. I tend to agree that they have me by the short and curlies since I'm under contract but the post I've quoted above makes me wonder. I'll give it one more shot this afternoon and see if they can beat $200 but after going through this two Sundays in a row...

    R15 Locks Up After Rain

    Thank you for reading part of my post. I realize there a lot of words in it, but if you had read them all you would have seen that I switched over exclusively for the Sunday Ticket. If Dish offered that, I would not have switched. All I expected was hardware that functioned properly - am I...

    R15 Locks Up After Rain

    I want to add that an installer is coming tomorrow afternoon to install the right size switch for all three of my receivers. Is there anything specific I should have him check since he's going to be here anyway? There is a chance of rain but my luck would not allow for it to actually rain...

    R15 Locks Up After Rain

    I have been a Dish customer for a couple of years and switched less than a week ago to DirecTV. With Dish, I had one of their large "SuperDishes" and would only lose signal in the heaviest of downpours. My DirecTV install consists of two small dishes because my locals are in the NW Arkansas...

    Daily Auto-timer?

    I'm new to the R15 and would appreciate some help with scheduling a recurring event. Say I want to record Seinfeld every weekday at 6:30, but I only want to record that particular time slot, not every other time it shows at night or over the weekend. If I set up Series Link, it records every...

    Couple of quick Direct TV DVR questions!..?

    The R15 has a 30-second "fast-forward" button. It's stackable, so if you press it two times it tells you and skips ahead 1 minute, 3 times = 1:30, etc. I've only had DirecTV for two days now so that's all I can answer. :-) I did like the 30-second skip on my Dish receiver better, as well as...

    Need with with 2-dish install - can't tune in locals

    I placed the order online for the sake of simplicty (always easier for me to type my information than spelling it out for someone). I did immediately follow up with a phone call to ask about having a card sent for my third receiver. According to the rep I spoke with yesterday, those are two...

    Need with with 2-dish install - can't tune in locals

    I'm in Arkansas. The only "favor" I could possibly give him credit for was running one cable from the switch to my office instead of running it to the bedroom. I just moved over from Dish so everything on the inside was already done and he didn't have to drill any holes. But calling that a...

    Need with with 2-dish install - can't tune in locals

    SHORT VERSION: I have a 2-dish setup. How do I get the R15 to tune in locals? LONG VERSION: I made the move from Dish this week. I ordered two R15's and planned to use an ex-roommates UltimateTV receiver as my third receiver. I even went as far as to have DirecTV send me the access card...

    Ready to switch - can I tell D* what I want?

    adkinsjm and dtvtycoon - thanks for the answers. Any idea what they charge for a new access card? rkr0923 - gotta have the Sunday Ticket!

    Ready to switch - can I tell D* what I want?

    I have finally made the decision to switch from Dish to DirecTV for the Sunday Ticket. The only reason I hadn't done it before was because I love the dual-tv feature of the Dish 522 receiver. I was doing some reading on whether anything similar was available through DirecTV and see that there...
