    Who has most channels?

    I just switched back to D after five months with E. I like the fact that I get HD locals with D from Tampa where as they were not offered with E. E has many more HD channels, but I did not like the majority of them. The 622 was nice, but I found it to have too many steps to make in order to...

    Dealing with my 2 year contract

    I am going to cancel my Dishnetwork contract and owe them a good chunk of change. I'm doing this because I have had many issues with their DVR. I have had the eintire content of it erased twice in five months due to my "hard drive being corrupted"...whatever that means. My remote skips channels...

    Going back to D from E, after only six months.......

    Let me give you one more reason for the switch. I woke up this morning and turned on the tv, and a message came up and said my hard drive has been corrupted and everything will be deleted. Great. I can't wait to tell the old lady all the fitness shows and alike that she taped are history. Just...

    Going back to D from E, after only six months.......

    I called D yesterday and they said they will give me the Total Choice Premiere at $99 a month with $20 off per month for six months. The HD package free for four months. The install will be $99 plus a $19 fee of some type. Not too bad, I'm just hoping to keep the E penalty below $300. I have...

    Going back to D from E, after only six months.......

    For instance last night I called to cancel my locals as I get them via antenna. However, my guide does not give any description of programming any longer...simply states "Digital Service." Also, I cannot record anything from a digital channel and watch anything else on a digital channel. Little...

    Going back to D from E, after only six months.......

    I know I'm going to get crushed $$ wise on the early termination of the 18 month commitment, but my wife hates E, and I am not crazy about various aspects of their equipment. I'm going to call DirecTV and find out what I can get as a former customer. I was with them for eight years before last...

    Considering switch; advice/answers please!

    I was with D for almost eight years and went with E about three months ago. The Hd content is better with E, but the equipment has been terrible. Half the time the remote will not work correctly and I constantly get check switch screens on my TV. When i check the switch, there is nothing wrong...

    Help on a simple thing turning difficult..

    Guys, this is probably something that can be fixed easily, but yours truly is having a tough time figuring it out.Here's the problem. While watching TV with the 622 DVR and I see something I want to record, I press the record button. No problem, as it starts to record. The problem is when I want...

    Leaving DTV for Dish

    I just switched to E from D yesterday after eight years with D. I have the HD Platinum package with locals. So far I think the PQ is beter with Dish. I have to get used to the 622 vs TiVo, but i's like anything new....you have to get used to it. D's utter lack of HD programing was the last straw.

    Honest opinions of DirecTV vs Dish......

    Well guys, I ordered the Dish HD Platinum pack yesterday with locals and the HD DVR. They will be out Monday to install it. From what I've seen in the majority of the responces, I think I made a good chaoice. I live in the Tampa area, and can get the majority of my locals via OTA antenna, so...

    Honest opinions of DirecTV vs Dish......

    I have been a DirecTV subscriber for eight years. I am very turned off lately by their lack of HD content. I want to enjoy TiVo and HD. I am very close to going to Dish Network. I have Vonage phone service and the DirecTV HD TiVo. Does the Dish TiVo support OTA antennas and Vonage? What if any...

    NY Mets Channel?

    Does anyone know if DirecTV plans on carrying the Mets game with their new station? If so, I'm assuming the games itself would only be available through the MLB package, although the station will hopefully be part of the sports package. Like the Yankees with Yes. Being a Met fan in Tampa, I need...

    Bose remote and the H20

    I guess I should clarify. I have a Lifestyle 28 Home Theater System. I have to change some kind of code on my Bose Remote to use RF instead of IF, or vice versa. The problem for me is my remote is so old that it doesn't have a menu button on it. Therefore, I cannot use a Harmony remote until...

    Bose remote and the H20

    Don't jump on the Harmony without checking if it's compatible with a Bose system. Bose is very propiotory(sp) when it comes to there products. You may have to tweak your system remote to get it to work with the Harmony.

    Vonage

    I've had the same issues with Vonage as far as the echo when people call my house. I didn't realize you could call Vonage and have that dealt with. I have found that it takes two to three times for my system to get through and do the updates over the line. Other than those issues, it's been fine.

    Just checking..anyone get the $100 MIR yet

    Just got off the phone with a CSR named kevin and he was very nice. He applied a $100 credit to my account with no problems. I highly recommend calling the listed number and inquire about a credit if you have been waiting a long time for the rebate. Thanks again guys!

    Just checking..anyone get the $100 MIR yet

    This is classic. I received another form in the mail yesterday for the rebate. Hell, I sent mine in over three months ago ,so I emailed D and told them to send me the money, not another form!! They replied to send in this form for my rebate! Incredible. I guess I will have to call and speak to...

    DirecTV Billing Adventure...

    I noticed my bill being $5 more than anticipated for a discount that was promised. I emailed them and when it was debited from my account a week later, they deducted the amount. I have been a subscriber since 1998 and have got nothing but good things to say about DirecTV. Just my opinion.

    Can't Watch while recording....

    As a follow up, this morning my wife is taping a show and I am able to watch TV in the bedroom. Is is a matter of the dual tuner on the HD-DVR?
